When he was five years old, his family – including six brothers, also boxers – moved from San Augustin de Tlajomulco de Zuniga to Juanacatlan, Jalisco. Alvarez began boxing at the age of 13, largely because he was teased by his peers for having red hair and freckles. He was inspired by his older brother Rigoberto who eventually held an interim world title at junior middleweight in 2010.
In 2004 the young Mexican became the silver medalist at the Junior Mexican National championships in Sinaloa, and the gold medalist at the Junior Mexican National Championships in Chiapas the following year. After a brief amateur career, he dropped out of high school and began boxing professionally in 2005, being trained by father-and-son team Chepo and Eddy Reynoso – he knocked out 30 of his first 42 opponents, which included his win against the current IBF Lightweight Champion Miguel Vazquez in 2006, and again in a rematch in 2008, with his six brothers all fighting at that event. He then defeated Brian Camechis and Jose Miguel Cotto in 2010, when earned him the NABF Welterweight title. His net worth was rising steadily.
The same year he signed with the Golden Boy roster and went on to win the WBC Silver Light Middleweight title in a fight against Luciano Leonel Cuello. Afterwards, he knocked out Carlos Baldomir with a single punch, becoming the first boxer to knock Baldomir out and only the second one to stop him. He went on to win the WBC Light Middleweight title in a win over EBU Welterweight Champion Matthew Hatton in 2011, becoming the youngest boxer ever to hold a version of the world super-welterweight title, aged 20. His success greatly contributed to his net worth. Alvarez defended his title in a win over a Super Welterweight and current EBU Light Middleweight Champion Ryan Rhodes, then over The Contender competitor Alfonso Gomez and a former Welterweight Champion Kermit Cintron. In 2012 he defended his title against Shane Mosley and later Josesito Lopez, staying undefeated with a record of 41-0. By defeating Austin Trout in 2013, Alvarez retained his WBC light middleweight title, and won the WBA and The Ring Magazine Light Middleweight title.
What followed was the fight against The Ring Magazine’s no. 1 pound for pound fighter, WBA Super Welterweight Champion and WBC/The Ring Magazine Welterweight Champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., in which Alvarez was defeated, losing his WBC and The Ring light middleweight titles; however, the fight earned him $12 million. He went on to beat Alfredo Angulo, adding $7.5 million to his net worth.
He defeated Erislandy Lara in 2014 and James Kirkland in 2015 in non-title matches, and with the win against Miguel Cotto in 2015, Alvarez won The Ring, lineal and vacant WBC middleweight titles and added over $7 million to his wealth – the WBC later awarded him its Diamond Middleweight title. Alvarez retained his titles in a win over Amir Khan in mid-2016. Reportedly, the fight grossed over $7 million, being one of the best in Nevada history, adding more than $6.5 million to Alvarez’s wealth.
Alvarez then announced a future fight against the middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin. He has recently announced that he has vacated his WBC title, as he doesn’t want to be pressured into the fight with Golovkin by an ‘artificial deadline’. The WBC awarded the title to Golovkin and it remains to be seen to which one of the boxers it will actually go to.
Speaking of his personal life, Alvarez has one daughter with his ex-girlfriend. In 2010 he was briefly engaged to Marisol Gonzales, a TV sports reporter and the 2003 Miss Mexico Universe. Sources believe he is single at present.
Alvarez is an avid horse rider. He was gifted two horses, one by Mexican pop star Vicente Fernandez and the other from the local mayor.

Tiger Woods Net Worth
Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods was born on 30 December 1975 in Cypress, California USA, of part-Chinese, and African- and Native- American (father) and Thai (mother) descent. He is one of the the world’s highest earning sportsmen, a professional golfer who was ranked number one in the world for a total of 545 weeks between in 1997 and 2010, and then for another 60 weeks in 2013-14, the most of any golfer, and during which period he won 119 tournaments on the PGA and European tours.
So just how rich is Tiger Woods? Regardless of the fact that Woods’ divorce from ex-wife Elin Nordegren (former Swedish model), cost him $100 million dollars – including $54.5 million in mortgage payment finalised in January 2016 – authoritative sources estimate that Tiger’s net worth is now still over $770 million, accumulated from golf prize money of around $160 million, and the rest from endorsements during a 20 year career, totalling overall more than $1.3 billion.
Tiger Woods Net Worth $770 Million
Encouraged by his father Earl, Tiger became a child golfing prodigy, already at the age of 3 putting against comedian Bob Hope. He was called on TV shows and published in Golf Digest magazine. He won age group events around the world from the age of eight, and being a 15 year-old teenager he became the youngest US Junior Amateur champion. He was educated at Western High School, Anaheim, but golf was his priority, and at 20 (1996), he became the first in golf history to win three consecutive US Amateur titles, while (apparently) studying at Stanford University.
Tiger then turned professional, and immediately signed multi-million dollar contracts with famous companies such as Nike and Titleist. Next year Woods won his first ‘major’, the US Masters, and achieved number one world ranking, the youngest and the fastest to get to that position. The list of his winnings is endless and achievements too many to mention, but apart from aforementioned 79 victories in the USA and Europe – only Sam Snead has won more(82) – he has won two Japan Golf Tour events, an Asian Tour event, one PGA Tour of Australasia event, as well as 21 titles as an amateur. Of particular significance is that Tiger has won 14 ‘major’ titles, second only behind Jack Nicklaus(18), which has included the ‘grand slam’ of golf three times. In addition, he had been awarded PGA Player of the year 11 times and the Byron Nelson award eight times. There can be no doubt that Tiger Woods has earned his net worth.
Woods is considered the most successful player of all times, partly because of his winning record, but also because he is the first and the only golfer to have earned more than a billion dollars. This fortune was made not only by playing golf, but also by signing very lucrative contracts with companies such as Rolex, General Motors, American Express, and Gatorade apart from Titleist and Nike, and becoming an ambassador for Gillette. Moreover, the businesses of Tiger Woods Foundation which promotes golf, and Tiger Woods Design which is involved with golf courses development, are also very profitable. The athlete is a published writer with “How I Play Golf” as well, which has brought him steady income from 1.5 million copies sold. He has also written a column for the magazine “Golf Digest’ – presumably both added to his net worth.
Following his very public divorce from Elin Nordegren who he married in 2004 – they divorced in 2010 and have two children – also involving details of infidelity over the years, Tiger Woods dated Olympic Games skiing gold medallist Lindsey Vonn for a couple of years, but apparently no more. He was raised a Buddhist, and professes to still follow the teachings.

He has signed long-term deals with Nike, Rolex, Wilson and Credit Suisse, and recently he decided to collaborate with champagne brand Moet & Chandon.

He is fluent in Swiss-German, German, French and English languages. Like all men in Switzerland, Federer was supposed to serve in the Swiss army, but in 2003 he was released from this duty because of continuous back pain.

Due to a foot injury she retired from professional sports and now manages her husband’s public relations. In 2009 the couple married in Basel , and has two sets of twins – twin boys and twin girls.
