<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Ryan Garcia</a> expressed serious concern for Jake Paul ahead of the influencer-turned-boxer’s upcoming matchup with Anthony Joshua. The fight, set for December 19 in Miami, marks the biggest test of Paul’s career, going a full eight rounds against the two-time unified heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist.



Garcia, a top lightweight contender often mentioned as a potential <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jake-paul">Paul </a>opponent, weighed in on the challenge Paul is undertaking. He questioned whether taking on Joshua at this stage could have long-term consequences for the 11-fight professional.



The veteran boxer highlighted the physical and mental risks, noting that a loss in such a high-profile bout could alter the trajectory of Paul’s career. “It can be life changing in many ways, physically and mentally,” Garcia said on X spaces. “Did you see what [Joshua] did to [Francis] Ngannou? But then again, if he gets knocked out, he gets knocked out. Nobody expects anything. Who is he going to fight?”



<h2>Garcia questions Paul’s decision</h2>



Garcia directly criticized the booking of the fight, suggesting Paul may have prioritized external pressures over his own readiness. “My honest opinion, I think that this has been a misstep from Jake,” he said. “I think he wanted to make his partners at Netflix a little too happy, and he’s going to walk into it. But like, he loses to A.J., where does he go from here? Who does he fight? Is he going to go back down to 185?”

<h2>Concerns about career impact</h2>


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/jake-paul-blasts-ufc-star-after-rejecting-fight-ahead-of-controversial-anthony-joshua-fight"></div>


The lightweight star was blunt about the consequences of a loss. He indicated that a knockout defeat could reduce Paul’s opportunities and marketability. “How are you going to react when that big shot hits you? You think you’re going to snap back into it and know what to do? No, not going to happen,” Garcia said. “I give him out of a million times if they fought, honest to God, I think he can maybe win one out of the million times they fight.”

The boxing world was shaken on November 17 when it became official: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jake-paul">Jake Paul</a> will face Anthony Joshua in a professional heavyweight fight in Miami, Florida, on December 19. Fans and analysts immediately began speculating on the reasoning behind this sudden matchup, especially after Paul’s original fight against Gervonta “Tank” Davis <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/why-was-the-jake-paul-vs-gervonta-davis-fight-scheduled-for-today-nov-14-canceled">was canceled</a> just days earlier.



Behind the scenes, Netflix reportedly wanted Paul on a fight card before the end of 2025. His team reached out to fighters like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Ryan Garcia</a>, Terence Crawford, and Francis Ngannou to step in on short notice.



Garcia declined, with his promoter, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oscar-de-la-hoya">Oscar De La Hoya</a>, explaining, “Ryan Garcia fights for DAZN. And Jake Paul fights on Netflix. I mean, that’s pretty much the bottom line. Golden Boy has a contract with DAZN. Ryan Garcia has a contract with Golden Boy. And that’s just the way it is. I mean, this is business… You have a contract with DAZN. You have a contract with Golden Boy. It just doesn’t happen that way.”



<h2>Why did Jake Paul pick Anthony Joshua?</h2>



On November 17, Garcia spoke on Ring Magazine’s Inside the Ring, offering his perspective. “This fight [against Joshua] is probably the worst fight that Jake Paul could have took. Out of all the fights he probably had a choice, you know? This is a big dude, heavyweight. Like, how do you go from 135 [pounds] to 225. It’s going to be difficult,” he said.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://media.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/24115405/jake-paul-650x365.webp" alt="Jake Paul" class="wp-image-497742" width="650" height="365" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px"></figure><figcaption>JJake Paul looks on at a news conference about his now-canceled exhibition match with Gervonta “Tank” Davis. Leonardo Fernandez/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



Garcia added that Paul is drawn to high-profile bouts. “He’s just addicted to doing huge fights. At the end of the day, he has so many options. He’s always looking for the guy that can make the most noise,” Garcia explained. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/jake-paul-makes-bold-statement-on-connor-mcgregors-boxing-future-amid-fight-speculation"></div>


He also speculated on Paul’s thinking regarding Joshua’s chin and past fights: “He’s probably thinking, ‘Anthony Joshua, maybe his chin is suspect. Maybe he’s not even thinking about me, so I’m going to come in and somehow hit him with my right hand.’ Because he believes that his right hand is as strong as [Deontay] Wilder.”



<h2>What challenges await Paul against Joshua?</h2>



Whatever the reasoning, it’s clear that Paul faces a challenging task in the ring against a seasoned heavyweight like Joshua. Fans will be watching closely on December 19 to see whether Paul’s strategy pays off against the elite competition.

Garcia explains why Paul chose Joshua for December bout

The world of boxing is buzzing as Jake Paul’s scheduled showdown with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gervonta-davis">Gervonta Davis</a> faces uncertainty. Originally set for November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, the high-profile bout had already shifted venues from Atlanta due to commission conflicts, and now the fight itself could see a new opponent step in.



Despite the controversy surrounding the matchup, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jake-paul">Paul’</a>s team is reportedly exploring alternatives. Paul’s representatives have approached multiple top-tier boxers to potentially replace Davis, whose recent domestic violence allegations have put the original fight in jeopardy.



Fans and insiders alike are watching closely as the landscape shifts. One name emerging as a serious contender to face Paul in December is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Ryan Garcia</a>, a former lightweight standout known for his speed and knockout power.



<h2>Potential replacement opponent named</h2>



According to reports from multiple sources, Ryan Garcia has received an official offer to step in against Paul. “Netflix and reps for Jake Paul have been exploring potential replacements for Gervonta Davis, sources familiar with the situation told @SInow,” via Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251101_BUS_519082_ryan-garcia-1024x576_f9027df3.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-519087" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Ryan Garcia weighs in for his welterweight bout against “Rolly” Romero. Al Bello/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Garcia weighed in on the situation via social media, referencing Davis’ previous victory over him: “Dana White said it, I’m saying it, no one’s hating, just fight someone your f—— size. I loved his fight with [Julio Cesar Chavez] Jr, they were practically the same size, and he got full credit from myself and everyone else. So it’s not hating, just keeping things in order.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/devin-haney-delivers-honest-verdict-on-gervonta-davis-vs-jake-paul-he-should-win"></div>


<h2>Paul’s next steps</h2>



While negotiations continue, the decision of whether Garcia—or another contender—will face Paul remains fluid. The fighter known for targeting high-profile names has consistently expressed interest in facing the sport’s elite, and this scenario aligns with his strategy of keeping his bouts in the public eye.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Ryan Garcia</a> is back with a clear mission and renewed confidence. After months away from the ring recovering from hand surgery, the California star has revealed the opponent he wants for his long-awaited return — and it’s not a tune-up fight.



Speaking on The Warroom podcast, Garcia announced his plan to challenge <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mario-barrios">Mario Barrios,</a> the reigning WBC welterweight champion. The move signals his intent to jump straight back into title contention and regain momentum after his loss to Rolando “Rolly” Romero earlier this year.



For Garcia, the motivation runs deeper than gold. He believes a victory over Barrios would give him the “leverage” he needs to chase the rematch that still drives him.



<h2>Can Garcia’s high-risk comeback pay off?</h2>



“I haven’t said this publicly, but I want Mario Barrios. I’m going for it,” Garcia said. “If you want to make some good money, let’s run it.” The 26-year-old sees Barrios — who recently drew with Manny Pacquiao — as a winnable yet meaningful test on his road back to the top.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251008_BUS_505397_rolando-romero-pacquiao-1024x576_66faed6f.webp&amp;width=650&amp;height=365" alt="" class="wp-image-505461" width="650" height="365" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px"></figure><figcaption>Mario Barrios throws a left at Manny Pacquiao in the seventh round of their WBC welterweight title fight (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>What comes after Barrios for Garcia?</h2>



A win could set up unification bouts against the Romero–Pacquiao winner, scheduled for January 2026. But Garcia might face competition from Conor Benn, who also wants Barrios next after his fight with Chris Eubank Jr. Still, few names bring the attention and market power Garcia does — and that could make all the difference.

The boxing world was stunned this week after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/floyd-mayweather-jr">Floyd Mayweather</a> and Mike Tyson confirmed an exhibition bout scheduled for next year. With few details revealed about rounds, weight class, or venue, fans and fighters alike were quick to voice their reactions. Among them was Ryan Garcia, the 24-2 phenom, who didn’t hold back on social media.



Garcia, known for his speed and knockout power, recently returned to the ring following a shock loss to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rolando-romero">Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero</a> in May. The young star is actively seeking his next challenge, and the announcement of Mayweather vs. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tyson">Tyson</a> provided the perfect platform for Garcia to express his opinion.



In a post on “X” (formerly Twitter), Garcia wrote: “Floyd should’ve just fought me,” ending the message with a shrug emoji. The response was shared widely across boxing circles, highlighting the ongoing tension and excitement surrounding Mayweather’s exhibition matches.



<h2>Should Ryan Garcia be the next opponent for Mayweather?</h2>



Garcia’s tweet suggests he feels he has earned the right to face Mayweather, especially given his past experience in exhibitions. He previously arranged a fight against Japanese kickboxer Rukiya Anpo, though he had to pull out due to a wrist injury. His promoter, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oscar-de-la-hoya">Oscar De La Hoya</a>, opposed the exhibition and pursued legal action, highlighting the challenges Garcia has faced navigating fights outside the traditional professional arena.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="497" height="128" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250905_BUS_486099_ryan-garcia_86ad23b1.webp&amp;width=497&amp;height=128" alt="" class="wp-image-486102" sizes="(max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px"></figure></figure>



Despite this, Garcia has maintained a respectful and appreciative stance toward Mayweather, calling him a mentor. “Floyd is mentoring me, and I love and respect him, he is so authentic so stop judging him,” Garcia wrote. His comments reflect the complicated relationship between rising stars and boxing legends, blending admiration with competitive ambition.

<h2>What’s next for Ryan Garcia?</h2>



With Tyson-Mayweather officially confirmed, fans are left speculating about matchups, weight classes, and potential spectacles. For Ryan Garcia, the focus remains on bouncing back from his recent defeat, securing a rematch with Rolly Romero, or potentially aligning for a high-profile fight with a legend like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manny-pacquiao">Manny Pacquiao</a>. Meanwhile, the Mayweather-Tyson exhibition promises to dominate headlines and redefine how fans anticipate crossover boxing events.

The countdown to September 13 has boxing fans on edge as Terence Crawford prepares to face <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/canelo-alvarez">Canelo Alvarez</a> in Las Vegas. It’s a bout framed as one of the most daring challenges of the modern era, with Crawford moving up two weight classes to battle one of boxing’s most tested champions.



But while anticipation grows, former lightweight contender <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Ryan Garcia</a> has injected a dose of skepticism into the narrative. Known for speaking his mind, Garcia respects Crawford’s talent but questions whether it will be enough to overcome Canelo’s power and durability on the biggest stage.



In his appearance on CigarTalk with Naji, Garcia drew a sharp line between admiration and prediction. He praised <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terence-crawford">Crawford</a>’s skills but emphasized the imbalance he sees in the matchup. The result, Garcia warned, could reveal the limits of even one of boxing’s most versatile fighters.



<h2>Is Crawford “biting off more than he can chew”?</h2>



Garcia didn’t mince words: “Bud’s going to do good. He’s going to do good, but I don’t think he’s going to win.” While acknowledging Crawford’s ability to land punches, Garcia argued they wouldn’t be enough to trouble Canelo. “He absorbs the shots before eventually imposing his will. It’s so ineffective … he’s biting a little bit more than he could chew.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250902_BUS_483561_ryan-garcia-1024x576_1bcd5023.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-483572" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>: Ryan Garcia weighs in for his welterweight bout against Rolando “Rolly” Romero. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Respect for Crawford, but doubts remain</h2>



Despite his blunt outlook, Garcia made it clear he rates Crawford highly. “Don’t get me wrong, Crawford is a great fighter. I think he’s one of the best. He could box, he could bang … The only thing I see is sometimes he gets cracked with some crazy shots.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/canelo-alvarez-clarifies-jake-paul-stance-issues-fierce-warning-to-terence-crawford"></div>


That vulnerability, Garcia suggested, may become decisive against an opponent who thrives on absorbing punishment and countering effectively.



<h2>Weight, power, and the challenge ahead</h2>



Crawford is moving up two divisions, a factor many see as pivotal. As Regis Prograis put it, “Weight classes exist for a reason.” Trainer Abel Sanchez echoed the concern, warning that the jump might diminish Crawford’s stamina and strength.



Still, Crawford’s camp believes in his ability to adapt. Trainer Brian McIntyre stressed that Alvarez slows in the later rounds, leaving room for Crawford’s conditioning and IQ to tip the balance.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="68b6d6f59901c3ce28a47107" data-title="Can Terence Crawford overcome Canelo Alvarez’s size and power?" data-options="4"></div>


The September 13 showdown carries implications far beyond the scorecards. A Crawford victory would rewrite weight-class conventions and boxing history, while a Canelo triumph would reaffirm his dominance at super middleweight. As Ryan Garcia’s candid remarks remind fans, this fight is more than a clash of skills—it’s a test of size, resilience, and legacy.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Ryan Garcia</a> isn’t holding back. Just weeks ahead of Canelo Alvarez’s clash with Terence Crawford, the former lightweight contender has delivered a chilling forecast—one that echoes one of the most vicious knockouts in recent memory.



Speaking during a live broadcast on X, Garcia, who previously trained under Eddy Reynoso alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/canelo-alvarez">Canelo,</a> made it clear who he’s backing come September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, when Canelo defends his undisputed super-middleweight titles.



“When you have two great fighters, great things can happen. But I can see Crawford getting knocked out Amir Khan-style, though,” Garcia said. “I don’t see [Crawford beating Canelo.] He could definitely prove me wrong, but I’ve trained with Canelo, I’ve been around him—bro can really push back heavyweights.”



He added: “This is the first time Canelo’s bigger than somebody in a long time, so it’s like the weights are lifted off and he can fight more freely.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250806_BUS_466871_canelo-crawford-1024x576_67c5596f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-466899" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/06101145/canelo-crawford-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/06101145/canelo-crawford-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/06101145/canelo-crawford-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/06101145/canelo-crawford-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/06101145/canelo-crawford-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/06101145/canelo-crawford-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/06101145/canelo-crawford-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/06101145/canelo-crawford.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez (L) and Terence Crawford face off during a news conference at T-Mobile Arena on June 27, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Steve Marcus/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Can Crawford survive the size gap against Canelo?</h2>



Garcia’s analysis didn’t stop at admiration—he pointed to size as the deciding factor. For years, Canelo has faced naturally bigger men at 168 and even 175 pounds. Now, for once, the roles are reversed.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/canelo-alvarez-earned-80m-at-34-how-much-did-michael-jordan-make-at-61"></div>


“I’m actually interested to see. I can’t wait for the fight. I’m definitely gonna be backing Canelo,” Garcia continued. “Crawford is a great fighter and he could surprise me, but right now where I would put my money is Canelo Alvarez.”



The fight carries echoes of 2016, when Amir Khan jumped two weight classes to challenge Canelo for his middleweight belt. Khan was laid out in the sixth round—unconscious before he hit the canvas. Canelo later admitted he didn’t celebrate the moment, worried for Khan’s health.



<h2>Will history repeat itself at 168?</h2>



There are clear parallels. Khan had risen from 140 to 147, and then up to a 155-pound catchweight. His frame simply couldn’t handle Canelo’s power. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terence-crawford">Crawford</a>’s leap is similar—he’s only fought once at 154, having spent years dominating at welterweight.

As the countdown continues, the spotlight grows brighter on both men. Canelo looks to reinforce his dominance. Crawford eyes history. But if Ryan Garcia is right, it may not last long.

Ryan Garcia drops alarming take on Canelo vs Crawford: ‘Could end like Amir Khan’

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Ryan Garcia</a>’s return to the ring ended in unexpected fashion on Saturday night at Times Square, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Rolando “Rolly” Romero. Once seen as a redemption arc following his doping suspension, Garcia’s performance raised more questions than answers.



Dropped in the second round and outboxed for much of the fight, the former interim champ couldn’t replicate the firepower that led him to knock <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/devin-haney">Devin Haney</a> down three times last year. The outcome not only put a dent in Garcia’s momentum but also clouded plans for a highly anticipated rematch with Haney.



Speaking to YSM Sports Media, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oscar-de-la-hoya">Oscar De La Hoya</a> dismissed any notion that the defeat was disastrous. “A little gun shy, that year off. All that power from Rolly. But he’ll go back to the drawing board and he’ll live to see another day. It’s not devastating at all. At all,” he said. 



<h2>De La Hoya’s confidence</h2>



De La Hoya acknowledged the full twelve rounds as a positive takeaway and expressed confidence that Garcia still knows how to reach his best version. “He knows he’s way better than that. He knows what he has to do.”

<h2>What’s next? Haney or Rolly again?</h2>



Despite the loss and the blow it dealt to the rematch’s appeal, De La Hoya remains convinced that a second fight with Devin Haney is inevitable. “It’ll be back. It has to happen,” he said. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/canelo-raises-stakes-with-fierce-warning-to-william-scull-ahead-of-saudi-fight"></div>


Garcia, for his part, left the door open for either option, expressing interest in running it back with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rolando-romero">Romero</a>, now the WBA Regular Welterweight Champion, or revisiting unfinished business with Haney. One thing is clear: Garcia’s next step will be decisive in defining whether this was merely a stumble or the start of a longer fall.

The spectacle surrounding <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jake-paul">Jake Paul’</a>s boxing journey has drawn both fascination and criticism in equal measure. While the influencer-turned-fighter has racked up attention across 12 professional bouts, many in the sport remain skeptical about his true standing among legitimate boxers. Ryan Garcia, one of the most recognizable faces in the lightweight division, recently became the latest to weigh in—with little hesitation and plenty of fire.



Despite the buzz surrounding Paul’s upcoming clash with Julio César Chávez Jr.—a former champion now approaching 40—Garcia made it clear he isn’t impressed. “There’s only so many 40-year-old dudes out there in the world that have a name,” he told USA Today Sports, pointing to Paul’s continued preference for aging opponents over ranked, prime competition.



For star boxer <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Ryan Garcia</a>, the issue isn’t personal—it’s about credibility. He believes Paul has delayed facing a true test for long enough, and sees himself as a necessary checkpoint in Jake Paul’s path toward legitimacy. So, he’s going to have to come through me sooner or later,” Garcia declared. “I know he doesn’t want to, though, because I’m going to be firing on him.” but, Garcia didn’t stop there. 



He underscored his experience and power, even suggesting that Paul once learned the ropes from him: “I’m the one that taught [Paul] boxing, so he has to see me.” The implication is clear—if Paul wants to be taken seriously, ducking fighters like Garcia will no longer be tolerated by fans or peers alike.

<h2>‘Is He even a real boxer?’ Garcia questions Paul’s legitimacy</h2>



Garcia’s doubts extend beyond Paul’s opponents to his very identity in the sport. “He’s a wild card. I mean, I don’t know if he’s a boxer. At the end of the day, he’s never fought in a ranked match at his weight class,” he argued, adding: “I don’t even know what his weight class is.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/ryan-garcia-vs-rolly-romero-fight-purse-revealed-a-career-defining-payday"></div>


Jake Paul’s next opportunity to silence critics will come on June 28, when he faces <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/julio-cesar-chavez-jr">Julio César Chávez Jr.</a> in a bout many view as yet another clash built on name value rather than competitive merit. For Ryan Garcia, though, the message is simple: when Paul finally stops chasing aging names and seeks out real challenges, he knows exactly where to find him.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Ryan Garcia</a>, the golden boy of boxing, has rapidly become a force both in the ring and in the world of wealth. Known for his quick punches and even quicker rise to stardom, his financial knockout is just as impressive as his athletic one.



From his explosive victories to the social media presence that sets him apart, his fortune has grown exponentially. But what is it really worth? Behind the bright lights and championship belts lies a financial strategy that has paid off.



While the figures may fluctuate, one thing is clear: He has built a financial empire that extends beyond his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing">boxing</a> career. With endorsements, deals, and a growing brand, his net worth tells a story of more than just knockout wins.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250501_BUS_389122_Ryan-Garcia-2-1024x576_381a8f83.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-389127" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113459/Ryan-Garcia-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113459/Ryan-Garcia-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113459/Ryan-Garcia-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113459/Ryan-Garcia-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113459/Ryan-Garcia-2-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113459/Ryan-Garcia-2-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113459/Ryan-Garcia-2-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113459/Ryan-Garcia-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Ryan Garcia looks on while facing Oscar Duarte during their welterweight fight at Toyota Center on December 02, 2023.

This figure reflects his earnings from his boxing career, brand deals and investments in various ventures. His career skyrocketed after his first major victories, but his fortune is not solely the result of his in-ring performances.



The bulk of his wealth stems from his lucrative boxing contracts, particularly his fights with high-profile opponents like Luke Campbell and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gervonta-davis">Gervonta Davis</a>. Also, his social media presence have opened up numerous endorsement opportunities.



<h2>How much does Ryan Garcia earn per fight?</h2>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250501_BUS_389122_Ryan-Garcia-4-1024x576_d786a2df.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-389128" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113531/Ryan-Garcia-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113531/Ryan-Garcia-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113531/Ryan-Garcia-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113531/Ryan-Garcia-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113531/Ryan-Garcia-4-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113531/Ryan-Garcia-4-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113531/Ryan-Garcia-4-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01113531/Ryan-Garcia-4.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Ryan Garcia arrives prior to the RING Magazine Awards at Old Royal Naval College on January 11, 2025.

His fights with opponents like Gervonta Davis have likely earned him a similar figure, if not more, due to the high level of interest generated around these showdowns.



In addition to the fight purses, he benefits from pay-per-view shares that often add millions to his earnings. These PPV deals, especially for big-name matchups, provide fighters with a substantial income boost.



For example, his pay-per-view share from the Davis fight is rumored to have brought in around $2 million, a nice addition to his base salary, according to sources like The Sporting News and Boxing Scene.



<h2>Ryan Garcia’s endorsements</h2>



Ryan Garcia’s earnings extend well beyond his boxing matches, thanks to his impressive roster of endorsements. A big part of his income comes from deals with major brands that want to capitalize on his fame and youthful image.

One of the most significant partnerships he has is with the sports apparel brand, Gymshark. He became the face of the brand’s campaign, earning a reported seven-figure sum. His appeal to a younger demographic made him the perfect fit.



He has partnered with brands like Under Armour, Gatorade and Hublot. His social media following, which exceeds 9 million on Instagram alone, is a major factor in these deals, as companies seek to tap into his wide-reaching influence.



These endorsement deals are estimated to bring in millions annually. He has also ventured into the digital space with his own brand of apparel and merchandise, selling exclusive merchandise to fans, as Business Insider and The Sun reported.

Ryan Garcia’s fortune: His financial knockout and how much is he really worth

The bright lights of Times Square will shine even brighter on Friday, May 2, as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Ryan Garcia</a> and Rolly Romero square off in one of the most anticipated boxing events of the year. Set against a backdrop of redemption, ambition, and high financial stakes, the main event headlines a packed night of action that also features matchups like Devin Haney vs. Jose Carlos Ramirez and Teofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboza Jr.



For Garcia, the spotlight comes with added weight. Following the reversal of his 2024 win over Haney due to a doping suspension, “KingRy” is stepping back into the ring not just to compete, but to reclaim his place in the sport. The one-year ban cast a shadow over his career, and now, in one of boxing’s biggest stages, he seeks to erase doubts and restore his reputation.



Romero, meanwhile, views this opportunity as a shot at reinvention. After a turbulent stretch, including a title loss to Isaac Cruz, “Rolly” is embracing the challenge of taking on one of boxing’s biggest names, hoping to flip the narrative in his favor.



<h2>How much will Garcia and Romero earn?</h2>



While official numbers remain undisclosed, industry insiders project massive paydays for both fighters. According to talksport.com, Ryan Garcia, thanks to his crossover appeal and marketability, is expected to earn approximately $20 million—a figure bolstered by endorsements, pay-per-view profits, and his loyal fanbase. Though less than his previous purse against Haney (reportedly north of $50 million), it still marks one of the largest earnings in the sport this year.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250501_BUS_389007_garcia-romero-1024x576_02eb3681.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-389015" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01085733/garcia-romero-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01085733/garcia-romero-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01085733/garcia-romero-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01085733/garcia-romero-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01085733/garcia-romero-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01085733/garcia-romero-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01085733/garcia-romero-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/01085733/garcia-romero.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></figure>



For <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rolando-romero">Rolly Romero</a>, this bout represents a breakthrough moment financially. After collecting under $1 million in his last fight, sources estimate that he could earn between $5 million and $5.5 million for sharing the spotlight with Garcia—by far the biggest purse of his career.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/ryan-garcia-profile"></div>


<h2>Legacy, redemption, and the bigger picture</h2>



More than belts and checks are on the line. For Garcia, this is a crucial moment to reestablish himself as a serious contender in the welterweight landscape. A dominant victory would serve not only as a rebuttal to critics but also as a major step toward future unification bouts.



Romero, on the other hand, fights for relevance. A win against Garcia could catapult him back into title contention and reignite his path toward global recognition. In a sport where timing and opportunity are everything, Romero knows that the lights of Times Square may not shine this brightly again.



As fight night draws near, expectations are sky-high.

As his own return to the ring approaches, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/canelo-alvarez">Canelo Alvarez</a> has taken a moment to weigh in on two highly anticipated boxing matchups: Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero and Jake Paul vs. Julio César Chávez Jr. With his fight against William Scull scheduled for May 3 in Riyadh for the undisputed super middleweight title, the Mexican star remains a central figure in the sport—not only as a competitor, but also as a respected voice.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-garcia">Garcia</a> and Romero are set to clash on May 2 in what promises to be an explosive contest between two fighters known for their knockout power. Taking place in a historic setting—Times Square, New York City—the bout has generated intense buzz. Speaking to FightHub TV, Álvarez offered a concise but confident prediction: “He’s gonna win by knockout,” referring to Garcia as the likely victor.



Canelo also addressed the upcoming June 28 bout between social media sensation Jake Paul and former world champion <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/julio-cesar-chavez-jr">Julio César Chávez Jr.</a> The fight will mark Chávez Jr.’s most high-profile appearance in years, and Canelo who defeated him back in 2017, expressed his support for his former opponent. “I hope he wins, prepares himself really well, take it seriously, and I am with him,” he said.



<h2>Canelo confident in Garcia’s power ahead of bout</h2>



Canelo’s endorsement of Garcia highlights the younger fighter’s growing respect within boxing circles. Despite recent controversies, Garcia remains one of the most explosive lightweights in the division, and his meeting with Romero has all the makings of a fan-friendly war. Canelo’s expectation of a knockout suggests he believes Garcia’s speed and precision will be the deciding factors.

<h2>Support for a former rival against the YouTube star</h2>



When it comes to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jake-paul">Jake Paul</a>’s next challenge, Canelo’s loyalty clearly lies with his compatriot. Although Chávez Jr. has fought sparingly since 2021, he carries the experience of a former titleholder—something that Paul has yet to encounter in full force. Canelo’s remarks serve both as encouragement and a reminder that preparation and focus will be essential if Chávez Jr. is to pull off the win.

The boxing world is on tenterhooks, with all eyes on Devin Haney, who returns to the ring on May 2. The highly anticipated event, set to be a stellar night in New York, will see Haney face Jose Ramirez in a bout that could pave the way for a much-anticipated rematch against Ryan Garcia later this year. However, recent statements from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oscar-de-la-hoya">Oscar De La Hoya</a>, Garcia’s promoter, have added intrigue and controversy, casting doubt on Haney’s current status and his ability to bounce back from their last encounter.



The memory of the 2024 showdown between Haney and Garcia is still fresh in fans’ minds. That night, Garcia shocked the world by knocking Haney down three times, securing a decision victory in what was considered one of the fights of the year. 



However, the euphoria was short-lived when it was revealed that Garcia had failed a post-fight drug test, prompting the commission to change the result to a “No Contest.” Despite this ruling, De La Hoya has remained firm in his stance, insisting that Garcia proved his superiority over Haney. Now, he has gone a step further, suggesting that the former undisputed lightweight champion could be “finished” after the impact of that fight.



De La Hoya’s comments have sent shockwaves through the sport, heightening anticipation for Haney’s next fight. His assessment, based on observations of Haney’s demeanor and apparent loss of confidence, adds a crucial psychological element to the equation. As Haney prepares to face Ramirez, the weight of these statements could influence both his performance and the public’s perception of his career.

<h2>De La Hoya’s verdict</h2>



“I feel Devin Haney is a shot fighter after what Ryan Garcia did to him,” De La Hoya told BoxingScene. “It happens that quick, yes. I’ve seen [Haney’s] demeanor; he looks lost. Look, Ramirez still has his power, his legs, and a left hook.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/canelo-vs-crawford-boxing-legend-oscar-de-la-hoya-sees-one-fighter-on-the-brink-of-greatness"></div>


De La Hoya’s remarks question not only Haney’s physical ability but also his mental state, implying that the emotional toll of the Garcia fight may have left deep scars.



<h2>Haney’s challenge: Ramirez and Garcia’s shadow</h2>



The showdown between Devin Haney and José Ramírez marks a pivotal moment in Haney’s career. Ramirez, known for his power and tenacity, presents a formidable challenge, forcing Haney to prove he can overcome doubts and regain his form.

Beyond this fight, Ryan Garcia’s presence looms large. The possibility of a rematch later this year adds another layer of complexity, as Haney not only aims to defeat Ramirez but also send a decisive message to Garcia and his critics. His ability to handle pressure and deliver a dominant performance will be crucial to shaping his future in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing">boxing</a>.
