Early Life

Born on August 8, 1998, in Victorville, California, Ryan Garcia is part of a large family. He initiated his boxing journey at seven years old and achieved remarkable success, becoming a 15-time national amateur champion with an impressive amateur record of 215-15. His parents have always been supportive of his boxing aspirations and continue to play a vital role in his career.

Boxing Career

At the age of 17, Ryan Garcia turned professional. He marked his debut on June 9, 2016, against Edgar Meza in Tijuana, winning via TKO. Shortly thereafter, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions, and Oscar De La Hoya announced Garcia’s professional debut would take place on December 17, 2016, at The Forum during the Smith-Hopkins light-heavyweight main event, where he won by knockout in the second round.

In September 2017, Garcia claimed the vacant NABF Junior super featherweight title by defeating Miguel Carrizoza. He later captured the vacant NABC and WBO-NABO super featherweight titles by overcoming Jayson Velez in May 2018. By March 2019, he had improved his record to 18-0 after defeating Jose Lopez by TKO. In November 2019, he challenged Romero Duno for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title. On February 14, 2020, he scored a first-round knockout over Francisco Fonseca. In April 2021, he bested Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell, marking Campbell’s final fight before retirement. After a brief hiatus, Garcia returned to the ring in February 2022, winning against former IBO lightweight champion Emmanuel Tagoe by unanimous decision, followed by a TKO victory over Javier Fortuna in July 2022 after six rounds.

$700 Million Deal?

In September 2019, Oscar De La Hoya, Ryan’s promoter, disclosed intentions to facilitate an unprecedented $700 million contract for the rising star. He expressed confidence in Ryan’s potential to become “the biggest star boxing has ever seen, hands down.” This $700 million deal would have nearly doubled the previously attained $365 million deal for Saul Alvarez, but it remained unclear if such a monumental deal materialized. During the same month, Garcia’s contract with Golden Boy was extended for another five years, though the terms of the deal were not revealed.

Fight Earnings

Beginning his career with earnings of $55,000, Garcia earned a $250,000 paycheck following his knockout victory over Romero Duno. However, despite this success, he felt that he wasn’t being respected in the boxing community.

After the fight, Golden Boy secured Ryan Garcia a purse of $500,000. His matchup against Emmanuel Tagoe resulted in a total earning of $3 million, which included a 70/30 distribution of the PPV shares.

In April 2023, Ryan was guaranteed $2.5 million for his bout with Gervonta Davis, which he unfortunately lost via a knockout in the 7th round. Additionally, ticket sales and Pay Per View likely brought both fighters extra earnings estimated between $10-20 million in bonuses.
