Ryan Garcia posted on social media as we speak, letting his followers know he raked in $50 million for the Devin Haney battle. For his half, Haney received a candy $35 million in a shedding effort final Saturday night time on the Barclays Middle in Brooklyn, New York.
The $50M that Kingry pulled in may embody the $2 million that Ryan guess on the battle, which he says netted him $12 million.
Within the final yr, Ryan has made near $100 million, making him one of many prime earners in boxing within the U.S. At this charge, Ryan might be heading in direction of a billion if he stays lively and retains profitable.
Haney did effectively for himself along with his hefty payday, which is probably going way over he’s made for any of his earlier fights.
Haney Needs One other Shot on the Money Cow
Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) is already asking for a rematch, and it’s now not why. The WBC gentle welterweight champion isn’t going to get comparable cash defending in opposition to his necessary Sandor Martin in his subsequent battle if he intends on retaining his belt.
Combating Sandor received’t hold Haney rolling within the dough to permit him to understand his dream of transferring to the rich Hamptons in Lengthy Island, New York to dwell on billionaires’ row.
Given Devin’s recognition, the World Boxing Council will in all probability let him battle another person subsequent if he asks for an exception. If Ryan does give Haney a rematch, it’ll doubtless wait till subsequent yr. Devin’s dad, Invoice Haney, has already mentioned that he’s going to take a break.
That might be resulting from accidents or the cash he made. If he made $35 million, as Ryan claims, there’s no rush for Haney to return. Sitting out for the remainder of the yr will enable Haney to spend a few of his $35 million windfall. I don’t blame Haney. With that type of cash, who wouldn’t need to take a pleasant lengthy break to journey and buy actual property?
Ryan’s Submit-fight Gloat
“Cha-ching,” mentioned Ryan Garcia on X, referring to the $50M he obtained from the Haney battle.
With that type of cash, it’s not stunning why MMA fighters are drifting over to boxing to get the massive paydays as a result of they’re not getting comparable money of their sport. Hopefully, the Saudis don’t indulge them like they did with Francis Ngannou, and switch the game right into a circus.
