Winner and richer, that’s how Ryan Garcia went home last night. While he was seen as an underdog by many critics, his performance against Devin Haney spoke volumes. Today, that performance has translated into a massive payday, and that is beyond what he earned through his purse split.
Garcia’s erratic behavior which hinted at an alcohol issue was a spectacle the world saw every day in the lead-up to the fight. Meanwhile, ‘The Dream’ remained composed, calm, professional, and devoted to his camp. None of these seemed like they were a part of Garcia’s camp. At least that was the image that KingRy worked hard to put out every day. However, now that he has dominated Haney, and won that fight, fans agree that it was all a smoke screen. But how has that translated into his winnings? Lucratively.
A big gamble by Ryan Garcia?
On Instagram, the 25-year-old shared a carousel of images that showed how he staged the entire pre-fight fiasco. While he did not openly reveal if it was actually true, he did, however, highlight that he remained confident of his win, despite what the world had to say. That confidence nudged him to bet on himself. As per various reports, the fighter had bet $2 million on himself for the fight. As he defeated Haney, it was revealed that he collected a winning of about $10 million more because of him being the underdog on the betting charts going into the fight.
While he did not directly confirm how much he had won in total, he did assert that he took the bet. Furthermore, he revealed that his total payout for the matchup was about $50 million or even more. His promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, had earlier revealed that his fighter was set to earn an assured purse split of about $30 million and double that if he won the fight.
In the captions, Garcia wrote, “If you bet, BET ON YOURSELF… on top of what we made. EATING GOOD…About 50 million ( probably more )in one night not too shabby…I will let God guide me on how to use this money Amen…”

While Garcia took the big win home, his victory was also the reason why some other folks got richer. For instance, Adin Ross also won big bucks last night.
KingRy wins, and Adin Ross gets richer
Jake Paul’s betting platform Betr posted visuals of the YouTube streamer, nervously awaiting the results of Haney vs. Garcia. As soon as, the announcer of the fight, Joe A. Martinez announced Garcia’s major upset, he went in a major bout of excitement and happiness. It signaled that Ross had won major money in the fight.
The betting platform later confirmed the speculation as they wrote how much he had won along with the video. The caption read, “Adin Ross wins $5,000,000 on Ryan Garcia.”
Despite Garcia’s unwavering self-confidence fueling his certainty of victory, both he and Ross gambled heavily. What motivated Ross to back the underdog in this matchup? The odds were stacked against Garcia, with Haney sitting comfortably as the favorite at -700, while Garcia was a distant challenger at +425.
