Early Life

His parents have always been supportive and actively participated in fostering his boxing passion, continuing to support his career even now.

Boxing Career

At 17, Ryan Garcia made his professional debut on June 9, 2016, against Edgar Meza in Tijuana, winning by TKO. Shortly thereafter, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions, with Oscar De La Hoya announcing his debut was set for December 17, 2016, at The Forum as part of the Smith-Hopkins light-heavyweight main event. He claimed victory with a knockout in the second round.

In September 2017, Garcia 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 overcoming Jayson Velez in May 2018. In March 2019, he defeated Jose Lopez by TKO, marking his record at 18-0. Garcia fought Romero Duno for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title in November 2019 and on February 14, 2020, he knocked out Francisco Fonseca in the first round. In April 2021, he triumphed over Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell, representing Campbell’s final fight before retirement. Following a break, Garcia returned to the ring in February 2022, securing a unanimous decision win against former IBO lightweight champion Emmanuel Tagoe. He then outclassed Javier Fortuna in July 2022 with a TKO in six rounds.

$700 Million Deal?

In September 2019, Oscar De La Hoya, Ryan’s promoter, expressed intentions to secure an extraordinary $700 million contract for the rising star. At the time, Oscar believed Ryan could potentially become “the biggest star boxing has ever seen.” This proposed deal would almost double the $365 million contract that De La Hoya negotiated for Saul Alvarez. However, it remains unclear if such a substantial deal ever materialized. That same month, Garcia extended his contract with Golden Boy for another five years, though specific terms were not revealed.

Fight Earnings

Garcia started his boxing career with earnings of $55,000; his knockout win over Romero Duno resulted in a $250,000 paycheck. Nevertheless, Garcia felt that he was not receiving the respect he deserved.

After the fight, Golden Boy secured him a purse of $500,000. Ryan Garcia’s encounter with Emmanuel Tagoe netted him a total of $3 million, benefitting from a 70/30 distribution of the PPV shares.

In April 2023, Ryan received a guaranteed $2.5 million for his match against Gervonta Davis, though he faced defeat with a 7th round knockout. Given ticket sales and Pay Per View, it is likely that both fighters accrued an extra $10-20 million in bonuses.
