JAKARTA - The third and final episode of the trilogy between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin left millions of dollars for Mexican fighters.

Quoted from Marca, Tuesday, Canelo pocketed more than 49 million US dollars (Rp733.77 billion) from that fight. Plus pay per view, the money in Canelo's account is sure to increase.

Canelo and Golovkin may not meet everyone's expectations of throwing a lot of hard punches in a duel on Saturday night. But, for the two protagonists, the duel really didn't disappoint in terms of finance.

Both Canelo and GGG, the blow of the two boxers decreased significantly when compared to the previous two duels.

In the first duel, 2017, Golovkin made 218 punches. While in the second duel (2018), the Kazakh boxer launched 234 punches. Now, in the third duel, he can only make 120 punches.

The same story was repeated with Canelo. In 2017 he threw 169 punches, the following year it increased to 202 and now he has recorded the lowest number of hits, 130 times.

Calculation of pay per view, plus what is agreed in the contract, Canelo earned US$65 million (Rp973.37 billion).

And if this averages the number of punches the Mexican boxer did, then he gets $500.000 for every punch thrown at Golovkin.
