There is no doubt that boxing is a sport in which it currently matters more how much money is moved than any narrative focused on sporting superiority and hegemony, but what can you do? That’s the mainstream and everyone decides to go with that ‘flow’.
Cuban William Scull is one of them, and as expected, he did not resist for a second the influence of Saudi Arabia and its petrodollars, and neither didSaul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, who ‘chose’ him as his next opponent in his now customary and controversial way of defining his ‘dance partners’.
William Scull’s life is about to take a turn
The so-called ‘Indomitable‘ will seek to maintain his unbeaten record against a Mexican who has not knocked anyone out in recent years and who defends himself with the argument thathis opponents only get into the ring with the sole purpose of surviving.
It will be on Saturday, May 3, 2025, when William Scull’s life will change completely, but not because of the remote possibility of defeating Canelo, but because of the simple fact of being his rival, a treat that everyone wants to try and that few have the privilege of reaching.
How much will William Scull earn?
William Scull will go from having received $300,000, until then the best pay of his professional life after defeating Russian Vladimir Shishkin last year, to pocket up to three million just for the fact of getting into the Canelo ring, and on top of everything in Saudi Arabia, according to information from SportySalaries and TSM Sportz.
Although these figures are not official, one thing is for sure, regardless of the outcome, from the first minute after the fight with the Mexican, and just after getting off the ring in Riyadh, Scull will have his future and that of his family assured, as it is known by all that being a ‘partner’ in Canelo’s show, pays and very well. The Cuban boxer will be able to buy his mother her longed-for house and much more.
