It looks like being the ‘face of boxing’ comes with perks of all kinds. Canelo Alvarez has mesmerized fans with his technical prowess and his heavy-handed punches. But it seems his hardest knockout came outside the boxing ring when he lifted the veil from his car collection and showcased his love for red-hot Ferraris.
Alvarez, 34, has emerged as one of the biggest paycheck collectors in modern boxing, with his average payday inside the boxing ring now at $30 million. What’s more? If you look at the Forbes Highest Paid Athletes list, you can spot the Mexican champion sitting at the #14 slot, with earnings coming at $85 million. Now, when you have that much money, you are likely to splash it somewhere, and for him, it’s his love for cars.
