It'll be fucking massive. He's only ever made three or so million purses before his last fight. He made more in his last fight than he did during his entire career previous to the Alvarez fight and he would have made another tidy eight figure sum from the rematch. Now he's 36 and looking at having to fight guys like Charlo for two or three million. The person most upset by this cancellation is Golovkin, no doubt about it. Put yourself in his shoes. You've just lost a twenty million dollar payday and you now have a bunch of dangerous/tricky options for about ten percent of what you would have made for the rematch. Fancy having ten fights against Charlo/Saunders/Jacobs level people when you could have made the same money from the rematch?
Golovkin will be desperate for the rematch to happen and Alvarez really needs it now too. He's going to get at least a six month ban so Golovkin has to keep busy till next Cinco which is the most likely date for it to happen.
