Boxing Career

Debuting as a professional at 17 years old, Ryan Garcia’s first fight took place on June 9, 2016, where he faced Edgar Meza in Tijuana, winning by TKO. Soon after, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions, and Oscar De La Hoya announced Garcia’s official debut for December 17, 2016, at The Forum, where he won by knockout in the second round.

Garcia captured the vacant NABF Junior super featherweight title in September 2017 by defeating Miguel Carrizoza. He went on to win the vacant NABC and WBO-NABO super featherweight titles by beating Jayson Velez in May 2018. In March 2019, he improved his record to 18-0 by defeating Jose Lopez via TKO. In November 2019, he challenged Romero Duno for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title. In February 2020, Garcia delivered a knockout against Francisco Fonseca in the first round.

Most recently, in July 2022, he triumphed over Javier Fortuna via TKO in six rounds.

$700 Million Deal?

In September 2019, Ryan’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, announced intentions to secure an exceptional $700 million contract for the rising star, believing Ryan had the potential to become “the biggest star boxing has ever seen, hands down.” This deal would have nearly doubled the $365 million contract De La Hoya orchestrated for Saul Alvarez. However, it remains uncertain whether such a massive agreement ever materialized. That month, Garcia extended his contract with Golden Boy for five years, although the financial details were not disclosed.

Fight Earnings

Beginning his career with initial earnings of $55,000, Garcia’s knockout win against Romero Duno brought him a significant $250,000 payout. Despite this achievement, Garcia expressed feeling underappreciated.

Golden Boy managed to secure a purse of $500,000 for him after the fight. His match against Emmanuel Tagoe brought Ryan Garcia a total of $3 million, which included a 70/30 distribution of PPV shares.

In April 2023, a guaranteed amount of $2.5 million was earned by Ryan for his fight against Gervonta Davis, which he unfortunately lost via a knockout in the seventh round. Both fighters probably benefited from ticket sales and Pay Per View, earning extra bonuses estimated between $10-20 million.

Sean Garcia, Ryan’s brother, is also a professional boxer, and their father has contributed as one of their trainers. Eddy Reynoso has also played a role in Ryan’s training.
