Boxer Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is set to become the highest paid athlete in the world. Canelo Alvarez scored one of the biggest paydays in the history of sports when he signed a deal with sports streaming service DAZN for 11 fights over the next five years. 

The deal is worth a minimum of $365 million (almost Rs 2700 crore) at an average of $33 million per fight, according to his promoter Golden Boy Promotions. His earning will be almost Rs 10,000 per minute for the next years.  

Alvarez's deal is the richest athlete contract in sports history, eclipsing the 13-year, $325 million agreement that New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton signed in 2014 when he was with the Miami Marlins.

Football stars Neymar and Lionel Messi have deals worth roughly $350 million, with Neymar’s a five-year contract and Messi’s haul spread over four years. 

Messi will likely be Alvarez’s biggest competition for the title of world’s highest-paid athlete.
