Canelo Alvarez has been named as the fifth richest athlete behind the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Alvarez is considered arguably the face of fighting given his star power and pay-per-view draw, alongside his status as the undisputed super-middleweight champion. The Mexican star has been earning huge paydays in recent years as his profile has grown from fighting the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders.
The elite fighter has been considered a pound-for-pound great and has had a busy couple of years having fought five times since the beginning of 2021. And his lucrative fight nights have seen him ranked as the only fighter on Forbes' sporting rich-list.
