Prime Video Sets Canelo Alvarez Pay-Per-View Boxing Card for September

Canelo Alvarez of Mexico (L) lands a punch on Jaime Munguia (R) during their super middleweight title fight at T-Mobile Arena on May 04, 2024 .

Prime Video will again step into the pay-per-view boxing ring to distribute the September 14 Canelo Alvarez-Edgar Berlanga super middleweight championship bout.

The fight card from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which also features a co-main event bout between middleweight champion Erislandy Lara and Danny Garcia, will be Prime Video’s fourth PPV boxing event this year and its second featuring Alvarez, arguably PPV boxing’s most lucrative draw. The undisputed middleweight champion headlined Prime Video’s May 4 PPV card against Jaime Munguia, which reportedly drew more than 500,000 PPV buys. 

The Alvarez-Berlanga PPV fight is slated to occur on the same day as a scheduled UFC mixed martial arts PPV event in Las Vegas.

Also on the upcoming PPV boxing schedule are ESPN’s October 12 light heavyweight title bout between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol and DAZN's December 12 Oleksandr Usyk-Tyson Fury bout, a rematch of their May 18 PPV heavyweight championship fight, won by Usyk.
