Okay, so, I was super curious about this boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia. You know, the one where Canelo kept all his super middleweight belts? I really wanted to figure out how much Munguia, the challenger, got paid for this fight.
First, I started searching around, like, everywhere. I mean, this was a big fight, right? It happened at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on May 4th. I spent hours digging through articles and websites.
I saw some stuff about how Canelo was just amazing in this fight. They called it his “best performance in years.” He was masterful, they said, in “outdueling” Munguia. Sounds intense, doesn’t it? I’m not gonna lie, I was more interested in the money side of things, but seeing how good Canelo was made me even more curious about what Munguia walked away with. It’s not every day you get to fight a champion like Canelo, even if you lose.
I also found out that Canelo had all these titles – WBA, WBC, WBO. This was a serious, high-stakes kind of event. And the fight was a unanimous decision, which means all the judges agreed Canelo won.
My Research Got Tougher
Now, here’s where it got tricky. Nobody was just coming out and saying how much Munguia made. It was all about Canelo’s victory, which, yeah, I get it, he’s the champ. But I was on a mission! I kept looking, reading more articles, even the ones that just talked about the fight itself and not the money.
- I saw the match was “live on-demand” on some DAZN thing. I guess that’s a streaming service for sports?
- Then I read that both of them had something to prove. That made sense. Canelo had to defend his titles, and Munguia had a chance to become a champion.
I spent a good chunk of my day on this. Honestly, I thought it would be easier to find the info. I mean, people talk about how much these fighters make all the time, right? But this time, it was like a secret or something.
In the end, I couldn’t find the exact number. It’s still a mystery to me. But you know what? I learned a lot about the fight itself, and I guess that’s something. Still, if anyone out there knows how much Munguia got paid, hit me up! I’m still super curious.
