The presence of the boxer at the Guadalajara Stadium coincided with a score of one goal to zero in favor of the tricolor representative, a result that activated the profits from a play made hours before the match.

The financial reports detail that the athlete invested a significant sum trusting in the performance of the players led by Javier Aguirre for this key commitment of the group stage.

Publication on digital platforms and the investment platform

Through a publication spread on his official social media profiles before the opening whistle, Canelo Álvarez shared proof of his move made through the Kalshi financial exchange platform.

The digital document specified an allocation of one hundred thousand US dollars in favor of the national team's victory, an option that at that time of the afternoon registered a favorable probability percentage of 48 percent in the prediction markets.

The participation ticket estimated a return on investment of more than 208 thousand dollars in case of a positive result on the field of play. As a show of support for the national team, the boxer included in his Instagram story the phrase “today we win”, accompanied by a pair of Mexican flags, as confirmed by his millions of followers on the aforementioned digital platform hours before the match.

Two consecutive successes in the group stage

The financial benefit obtained by Canelo Álvarez represents his second consecutive success following the performance of the national squad in the summer FIFA competition.

During the opening day held in the country's capital, the athlete made an identical financial movement of one hundred thousand dollars in favor of the tricolor victory over the representative of South Africa, obtaining a favorable balance of almost 40 thousand dollars net on that occasion.

With the recent victory of one goal to zero achieved through Luis Romo's score, the boxer's accumulated bets exceeded 140 thousand dollars in profits after completing the first two dates of the official calendar.

The passage of the Mexican team ensures its classification to the round of 32 of the competition, maintaining the leadership of the sector ahead of its next commitment in the group stage.
