Now, Ryan "The Flash" Garcia is at the peak of his career, even the pinnacle of his life, and Garcia went from "star" to "big star" overnight by finishing WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney, and more importantly, the amount in Garcia's bank account is doubling with the victory.
Now, what the outside world is concerned about is how much money Garcia earned in the confrontation with Haney? According to the American media "Comic Book", Garcia's total income in this game reached $50 million, which can be said to have doubled, and it is especially worth mentioning that it includes the $12 million "betting fee" he earned by betting on himself.
As we all know, Garcia challenged Haney this time, and was not favored by the outside world before the fight, and the bookmaker listed him as weak with 5-1, because Garcia is not as good as Haney technically, that is, in the past few months, he has always issued strange information, which is considered to have mental health problems, so that most fans feel that according to Garcia's form, it is difficult for him to beat Haney, but Garcia shocked everyone.
It is understood that almost all fans predicted a point victory over Garcia, but Garcia bet $2 million on himself to bet that Harney would be knocked out.
As a result of betting on an "upset", Garcia finally made himself $12 million after achieving the feat of knocking out Haney, which he himself confirmed through social media.
According to "Comic Book", Garcia's total income this time reached $50 million, and he earned $38 million after putting aside the "betting fee" of $12 million, but the relevant amount has been widely questioned, and many people feel that $38 million is very suspicious when the PPV ratings are not released, because Garcia does not have such a value, but some people believe that the comic book It's just to win attention, the so-called $50 million is more like Garcia's net worth so far, and the author is personally inclined to the latter statement.
Garcia's big battle with "tank" Gwotta Davis last year created 1.2 million PPV ratings, and the guaranteed appearance fee was only $5 million, so today's $38 million is indeed suspicious, even if other income such as advertising endorsements is included, I am afraid it is far from reaching the relevant amount, so the specific remuneration for the battle with Haney has yet to be officially announced.
There is no doubt that with his outstanding performance over Haney, Garcia is not only widely recognized in terms of strength, but also makes his market influence soar. Garcia hasn't decided on his next bout yet, but now he's in a good position to fight Davis, whether it's a rematch with Davis or a move up to 147-pound welterweight to make a bigger break, Garcia's star status is already on display, and it's just a matter of how long he can last.
Boxing columnist Taylor Fisher is very pertinent in his assessment of Garcia at the moment, saying: "Garcia's next plan remains to be seen, but with a huge win and outstanding PPV value, a lot of people will chase him to fight, it will be a huge paycheck, Garcia may win or lose in the super fight." ”
