But Canelo walked away from talks to instead sign a four-fight deal with Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh – KOing Paul’s huge payday.

He said on the Iced Coffee Hour podcast: “How much would I have made? Like $100million (£73m).”

Paul even planned to back himself for $2m (£1.4m) on himself in a bid to boost his earnings 20 fold.

He said: “Against Canelo I was going to bet like $2m on myself…

“I would probably have been like a +1000 (10/1) underdog so whatever the maths is – if I would’ve bet $2m I would have made like $20m.”

Fighters are allowed to bet on themselves to win in the state of Nevada – where the bout was scheduled for.

Paul’s last fight in November saw Mike Tyson controversial come out of retirement aged 58 as 100 MILLION watched on Netflix.

But after talks with Canelo collapsed, Paul instead signed to fight ex-middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, on Saturday.
