Ryan Garcia will earn $20 million for fight

Ryan Garcia is set to earn around $20 million for his upcoming fight against Rolly Romero. The match will take place on May 2 at Times Square, New York, as part of a Ring Magazine card. This fight will be Garcia's first since he completed a one-year suspension from the New York State Athletic Commission. He was suspended after testing positive for a banned substance prior to a bout with Devin Haney in April 2024. Garcia had initially won that fight, knocking down Haney three times, but the result was later changed to a no-contest due to his drug test failures. Haney is now set to fight Jose Ramirez on the same card. In a recent interview, Garcia hinted at his impressive earnings for this match. He did not disclose the exact amount but suggested that it would be above $15 million, stating "around there" when asked if it was close to $20 million. This payday is notably high for a tune-up fight. For comparison, Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn are expected to share £18 million in their upcoming duel, with Eubank Jr. taking home about £10 million. If Garcia's estimates are accurate, his earnings from this fight could rival those of one of the biggest fights in British boxing this year.
