Ryan Garcia is set to earn a substantial sum, potentially exceeding $50 million, from his recent boxing match against Devin Haney. The much-anticipated fight, dubbed ‘KingRy,’ took place on DAZN pay-per-view over the weekend, marking Garcia’s return to the ring after a hiatus.
Facing his long-time rival Devin Haney, with whom he had six encounters as an amateur, Garcia emerged victorious in a significant moment for his career.
Despite their even split in the amateur series, with each boxer claiming three wins, Haney entered the ring as the clear favorite. This was partly due to Ryan Garcia’s pre-fight behavior, which he described as “crazy,” leading to some wild betting odds.
However, Garcia backed himself by placing millions on his own victory, a decision that ultimately paid off. Over the course of 12 rounds, Garcia secured three knockdowns and clinched victory with a majority decision.
How Ryan Garcia’s Payday Stacks Up
In a recent interview with Patrick Bet-David, Ryan Garcia revealed that he expects to earn between $30 million and $50 million from the bout. This figure includes his purse, the winnings from his bets, as well as his share of the gate and pay-per-view revenues.
The final amount is still subject to the tallying of pay-per-view and ticket sales, which will significantly impact Ryan Garcia’s overall earnings. Oscar De La Hoya has indicated that Garcia’s return fight against Haney performed well on DAZN.
“I don’t know [if my antics helped the fight overall] but I think it brought more eyes to it,” Garcia commented on his recent appearance on the PBD Podcast. “The casual fans. I don’t know about the pay-per-view or tickets but we’re going to find out real soon. I’m projected to make around thirty to fifty million from the fight.”
Regarding the pay-per-view numbers, Ryan Garcia mentioned,“No [they haven’t released the pay-per-view numbers yet]. But Oscar said that they are very good. Very good, yeah.”
While Ryan Garcia’s match with Haney was financially rewarding, he is already looking ahead to even bigger fights.
