An illustrious amateur career saw him win two hundred and fifteen matches against the loss of a mere fifteen. Ryan Garcia launched his professional career with a bout against Edgar Meza on June 9, 2016. During the following year, he won all the bouts he participated in. Finally, ‘KingRy’ grabbed his first title, the vacant WBC-NABF Junior Super Featherweight, by knocking out Miguel Carrizoza on September 15, 2017.

A year later, he added the WBO-NABO and WBC-NABF Super Featherweight titles. Victory over Romero Duno on November 2, 2019, fetched him the WBO-NABO and the vacant WBC Silver Lightweight titles. His first attempt at a world title bore fruition on January 2, 2021, when he defeated Luke Campbell and took home the interim WBC Lightweight title. His record stands at twenty-three wins against no losses, with nineteen wins via knockouts. So for a boxer who started so early in life and amassed enviable accolades and achievements, it’s a question worth pondering about the wealth he would have accumulated.

According to celebritynetworth.com, Ryan Garcia’s net worth for this year is roughly $20 million. However, can a boxer who started his professional career at age seventeen and has participated in twenty-three bouts aggregate such an amount only through fight purses? Look at some of Ryan Garcia’s fight paychecks over the years.

Ryan Garcia career earnings notable fight purse

Taking into account the details of Ryan Garcia’s fight purses for each match starting in 2016 would not be a good idea. However, perusing through a few notable bouts and the money he made through those fights seems possible.

Reportedly, when he started, Garcia received a paycheck of fifty-five thousand dollars. He was supposed to take home $250,000 on November 2, 2019, when he fought Romero Duno from the Philippines. But subsequently, post-fight, it got changed to half a million dollars. Last year, on April 9, he fought Ghanaian boxer Emmanual Tagoe and reportedly received $3 million. Additionally, he rounded up to 70% of the revenue made through PPV sales. Three months later, he fought the Dominican Javier Fortuna, which helped him net $2 million.

Sportslens.com claims that the total amount of money Garcia would have earned from fight purses alone would be approximately $15 million or $652,174 per fight. But as is well known, he does not rely on fight-earning to support himself financially.
