Ryan Garcia says he made a total of $50M fighting Devin Haney, which included a $12M payout from betting on himself

Garcia Claims Staggering Payday for Haney Fight, Boasts $12M Betting Win on Himself

In a series of social media posts late last night, boxer Ryan Garcia made headlines with claims of a hefty payday for his recent fight against Devin Haney. While the official purse for the bout remains undisclosed, Garcia alleges a total windfall of $50 million, with a surprising source for a significant portion of that sum.

According to Garcia, a staggering $12 million of his earnings came from a bet he placed on himself to win the fight. Whether this bet was placed with a traditional sportsbook or through a private arrangement is unclear. Boxing contracts often include win bonuses for fighters, but such a high figure is unusual.

Garcia’s social media pronouncements were met with a mixture of skepticism and amusement. Some fans applauded his self-belief and potential betting coup. Others questioned the validity of his claims, particularly the $12 million win, suggesting it might be an attempt to inflate his image or generate further interest in a potential rematch with Haney.

Regardless of the truth behind the exact figures, Garcia’s claims have undoubtedly stirred the pot in the boxing world. Whether through his fists or his financial acumen, Ryan Garcia appears determined to stay in the limelight.
