"Canelo Alvarez will earn $40 million guaranteed, sources tell ESPN. Caleb Plant will earn a career-high $10 million guaranteed. Fighters are in the ring. Undisputed 168-pound championship. Let’s do this! #CaneloPlant," said Coppinger.

Alvarez was defending his WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO and The Ring super middleweight titles against IBF world boxing champion Plant in Paradise, Nevada.
Canelo Alvarez defeated Caleb Plant to become the undisputed super middleweight boxing champion of the world
Canelo Alvarez got the better of Caleb Plant via TKO in the 11th round on Saturday night to be crowned the undisputed super middleweight boxing world champion at the iconic MGM Grand Arena.
Plant started well and had the upper hand in the opening rounds. However, Alvarez used all his experience to keep the range well enough to frustrate his opponent in the following rounds.
Canelo Alvarez's calculated aggression eventually paid off as he drew Caleb Plant forward, dropped him with lethal strikes and then finished him with a few more heavy punches. The referee stopped the bout at the 0:35 mark of the 11th round.
Alvarez has now beaten three undefeated super middleweight titleholders, including Plant, to claim various belts in the last 11 months. British boxers Billy Joe Saunders and Callum Smith were the Mexican's other two victims.
The only loss in Alvarez's career (57-1-2) came against the legendary Floyd Mayweather Jr. back in September 2013.
