Canelo Alvarez PPV figures and Edgar Berlanga revenue

Canelo Alvarez pulled in 650,000 pay-per-view buys for his September 14 fight against Edgar Berlanga at the T-Mobile Arena. This figure falls far below the 1.5 million buys reached by Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury in May. The September 13, 2025, bout between Alvarez and Terence Crawford drew 41,400,000 viewers globally. That event set a venue record at Allegiant Stadium with a $47,231,887 live gate. Canelo also earned $50,400,000 in revenue for his May 2024 fight against Jaime Munguia, which saw 560,000 buys. His September 30, 2023, fight against John Ryder generated $29,250,000 in revenue. The 650,000 buys for the Berlanga fight differ from the 500,000 buys for the Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney match. While some observers expected a flop, the numbers proved Oscar De La Hoya wrong regarding his prediction that the fight would not reach 100,000 buys. You should notice that the 41,400,000 viewers for the Crawford fight eclipsed all recent championship numbers. Canelo’s September 2024 fight with Berlanga also generated $58,500,000 in revenue. His November 2021 victory over Caleb Plant brought in $64,000,000 in revenue. In May 2022, he defeated Dmitry Bivol in a fight that generated $36,400,000. His September 2022 fight against Gennady Golovkin earned $79,500,000.

Berlanga earnings and spending

Edgar Berlanga earned over $4.5 million for his fight against Jason Quigley, an Irish fighter, which included a $2.5 million base purse and an additional $2 million from his 20% share of the pay-per-view revenue. This total includes his base and his percentage of the revenue. For the fight against Canelo, the T-Mobile Arena live gate reached $17 million. Berlanga’s income fluctuates based on various splits and fees. His manager takes 20% and his trainer takes 10%. The WBO charges a 3% sanctioning fee on his purse. He previously earned roughly $357,000 per round during his seven-round win over Quigley. His opponent, Jason Quigley, earned about $175,000. Berlanga has spent significantly on luxury items. He bought a $230,000 orange Lamborghini Urus and seven gold chains for his team, costing $10,000 each. He also purchased a house for his mother in Puerto Rico. He has over 1 million followers on Instagram and likely made another $100,000 from sponsored stories.

Diverging career trajectories

The financial disparity between established stars and rising names reveals the boxing business. The undercard for the Crawford and Alvarez fight dragged long beyond midnight, which caused the event to lose viewers. This slow pacing killed the momentum for many fans watching at home. Canelo’s September 14 results showed he still commands interest, but Berlanga’s $17 million gate shows his own growing importance. Berlanga’s reach of 73 inches gives him a slight advantage over Canelo’s 70.5 inches. Berlanga’s career record stands at 22-0 with 17 knockouts. Canelo holds a record of 61-2-2 with 39 knockouts. Canelo landed 14.7 punches per round out of 41 thrown, while Berlanga landed 12.4 punches per round out of 37.6 thrown. Canelo’s power punch landing percentage was 46.3%, while Berlanga’s was 42.7%. Canelo’s body shot landing ratio was 30.5%, but Berlanga’s was 21.3%. The betting odds for the Canelo and Berlanga bout placed Canelo as a -2000 favorite. The 650,000 pay-per-view buys for the Canelo and Berlanga fight fall far below the 1.5 million buys that Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury reached during their heavyweight unification match in May. Will Berlanga’s next main event reach the million-buy threshold?
