Boxing Career

At the age of 17, Ryan Garcia turned professional, making his debut on June 9, 2016, against Edgar Meza in Tijuana, which he won by TKO. Shortly after, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions, with Oscar De La Hoya announcing Garcia’s debut would be held on December 17, 2016, at The Forum during the Smith-Hopkins light-heavyweight main event, where he secured a knockout victory in the second round.

In September 2017, Garcia claimed the vacant NABF Junior super featherweight title by defeating Miguel Carrizoza. He then went on to win the vacant NABC and WBO-NABO super featherweight titles by beating Jayson Velez in May 2018. In March 2019, he achieved a TKO victory over Jose Lopez, upping his record to 18-0. Garcia faced Romero Duno for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title in November 2019 and knocked out Francisco Fonseca in the first round on February 14, 2020. In April 2021, he defeated Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell, marking Campbell’s last fight before retirement. After a break, Garcia returned to the ring in February 2022, winning against former IBO lightweight champion Emmanuel Tagoe by unanimous decision. He continued his winning streak with a TKO victory over Javier Fortuna in July 2022 after six rounds.

$700 Million Deal?

Oscar De La Hoya, Ryan’s promoter, disclosed in September 2019 his intention to help Garcia secure a groundbreaking $700 million contract. De La Hoya believed Ryan had the potential to become “the biggest star boxing has ever seen, hands down.” This proposed deal was nearly double the $365 million contract that De La Hoya arranged for Saul Alvarez. However, it remained unclear if such a massive deal ever materialized. In the same month, Garcia extended his contract with Golden Boy for another five years, although specific terms were not revealed.

Fight Earnings

With an initial earning of $55,000 at the start of his career, Garcia’s knockout win against Romero Duno brought him a payday of $250,000. Despite this, Garcia felt he wasn’t receiving the respect he deserved.

After the fight, Golden Boy awarded him a purse of $500,000. In his match against Emmanuel Tagoe, Ryan Garcia earned a total of $3 million, which included a 70/30 division of the PPV shares.

In April 2023, Ryan secured a guaranteed amount of $2.5 million to fight Gervonta Davis, though he was defeated by knockout in the seventh round. With both ticket sales and Pay Per View revenues, it is likely that the two fighters garnered an additional $10-20 million in bonuses.
