Early Life

Born on August 8, 1998, in Victorville, California, Ryan Garcia hails from a large family. He began boxing at seven years old, ultimately achieving the title of a 15-time national amateur champion with an amateur record of 215-15. His parents have always been supportive of his boxing ambitions, remaining involved in his career to this day.

Boxing Career

Garcia turned professional at 17, winning his initial pro fight against Edgar Meza on June 9, 2016, in Tijuana by TKO. Shortly thereafter, he joined Golden Boy Promotions, with Oscar De La Hoya announcing his debut on December 17, 2016, at The Forum, where he achieved a knockout victory in the second round.

In September 2017, he secured the vacant NABF Junior super featherweight title by defeating Miguel Carrizoza. Later, he clinched the vacant NABC and WBO-NABO super featherweight titles by outpacing Jayson Velez in May 2018. After beating Jose Lopez by TKO in March 2019, his record rose to 18-0. In November 2019, Garcia took on Romero Duno for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title, followed by a first-round knockout of Francisco Fonseca on February 14, 2020. Garcia faced Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell in April 2021, marking Campbell’s last fight before retirement. After a break, Garcia returned to the ring in February 2022, winning a unanimous decision against former IBO lightweight champion Emmanuel Tagoe, followed by a TKO victory over Javier Fortuna in July 2022.

$700 Million Deal?

Oscar De La Hoya, Ryan’s promoter, announced in September 2019 his aim to facilitate the young boxer’s signing of a groundbreaking $700 million contract. At that time, De La Hoya believed in Ryan’s potential to become “the biggest star boxing has ever seen, hands down.” This deal would almost double Alvarez’s $365 million contract that De La Hoya had previously secured. However, it remains unclear whether such a monumental contract ever materialized. During the same month, Garcia extended his contract with Golden Boy for another five years, although the details were not made public.

Fight Earnings

Starting off with earnings of $55,000, Garcia’s knockout victory over Romero Duno resulted in a payday of $250,000. Despite these earnings, Garcia felt he wasn’t receiving the respect he deserved.

After the fight, Ryan Garcia received a purse totaling $500,000, which came from Golden Boy. His match against Emmanuel Tagoe brought him $3 million due to a 70/30 distribution of the PPV shares.

In April 2023, a guaranteed amount of $2.5 million was earned by Ryan for his match against Gervonta Davis, which he lost by knockout in the 7th round. The combined earnings from ticket sales and Pay Per View likely led both fighters to receive an extra $10-20 million in bonuses.
