Ryan Garcia expects to earn more than $50 million from his boxing match with Devin Haney.
“KingRy” returned to the boxing ring over the weekend on DAZN pay-per-view. In his comeback fight, Garcia faced his longtime rival Devin Haney, whom he fought six times as an amateur. Despite the two men sharing three wins apiece in the amateur series, it was “The Dream” who entered the ring as the huge favorite.
That was partially due to Ryan Garcia doing some decidedly crazy things before the match. This significantly increased the betting odds, which “KingRy” himself took advantage of. He bet millions of dollars on himself to win, and it turned out to be the right decision. Garcia was knocked down three times in 12 rounds and won by majority decision.
Earlier today, Ryan Garcia spoke about his return to the boxing ring in an interview with Patrick Bett-David. There, “King Cry” claimed he would earn between $30 million and $50 million for his victory over Devin Haney. This includes his wallet, the money he won by betting on himself, his share of the gate, and his share of pay-per-views.

Ryan Garcia also confirmed in an interview that pay-per-view and ticket numbers are still being tallied. Depending on the situation, he could have a big impact on the overall numbers he gets in this game. However, Garcia’s return fight against Devin Haney did well on DAZN, according to Oscar De La Hoya.
“I don’t know [if my antics helped the fight overall] But I think it’s gotten more attention. ” Ryan Garcia said on a recent PBD podcast. “[It brought] casual fan. I don’t know about pay-per-view or tickets, but we’ll find out soon. It is expected that he will earn between 30 million and 50 million yen from this match. ”
He continued: [they haven’t released the pay-per-view numbers yet]. But Oscar said they were very good. It was very good, yes. ”
The fight between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney was lucrative, but he still has bigger fights ahead of him. Since returning to the boxing ring on Saturday, the star has been seeking a number of fights, including a rematch with Gervonta Davis and a matchup with UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley.
