The fighters he's beaten aren't even household names in their own household.
"Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of god."

And that number will grow with his fight in July.

I am guessing we will see Canelo in the top 10 next year, just from his purses due to high activity. I don't know if Canelo has any other major sources of income. McGregor sold his booze brand for 150 million, which means he made roughly 30 million from his fight and endorsements. That's a lot of money.
