Early Life

Born on August 8, 1998, in Victorville, California, Ryan Garcia grew up in a large family. He began boxing at seven years old and achieved the status of a 15-time national amateur champion, amassing an amateur record of 215-15. His parents have always supported him and remain actively involved in his boxing career.

Boxing Career

At the age of 17, Ryan Garcia turned professional, making his debut on June 9, 2016, against Edgar Meza in Tijuana, winning by TKO. Shortly afterward, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions, and Oscar De La Hoya announced Garcia’s debut for December 17, 2016, at The Forum, where he won his fight by knockout in the second round.

In September 2017, Garcia claimed the vacant NABF Junior super featherweight title by defeating Miguel Carrizoza. Following that, he captured the vacant NABC and WBO-NABO super featherweight titles by defeating Jayson Velez in May 2018. He continued his winning streak by defeating Jose Lopez by TKO in March 2019, bringing his record to 18-0. In November 2019, he challenged Romero Duno for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title. On February 14, 2020, Garcia knocked out Francisco Fonseca in the first round. He triumphed over 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, securing a unanimous decision victory against former IBO lightweight champion Emmanuel Tagoe. In July 2022, he won by TKO against Javier Fortuna in six rounds.

$700 Million Deal?

In September 2019, Oscar De La Hoya, Ryan’s promoter, expressed his intention to assist the rising star in signing an unprecedented contract valued at $700 million. At that time, Oscar believed Ryan had the potential to become “the biggest star boxing has ever seen, hands down.” This deal would have nearly doubled the $365 million contract De La Hoya secured for Saul Alvarez. However, it was never conclusively established if such a substantial contract came to fruition. During the same month, Garcia’s contract with Golden Boy was extended for five additional years, though specific terms remained undisclosed.

Fight Earnings

Starting his career with $55,000 in earnings, Garcia’s knockout victory over Romero Duno earned him a substantial $250,000 payday. Nonetheless, Garcia expressed feeling disrespected despite his achievements.

Golden Boy promoted the fight, resulting in a $500,000 purse for him afterward. With his matchup against Emmanuel Tagoe, Ryan Garcia secured a total of $3 million, which included a 70/30 split from the PPV earnings.

In April 2023, Ryan garnered a guaranteed sum of $2.5 million for his bout against Gervonta Davis, where he unfortunately suffered a loss via a knockout in the 7th round. When factoring in ticket sales and Pay Per View revenues, it’s estimated that both fighters potentially earned an additional $10-20 million in bonuses.
