Ryan Garcia Bounces Back Financially
Ryan Garcia is on the upswing again after some rocky financial times following his fight with Devin Haney. Reports say Garcia made around $50 million in his latest match, which beats his previous earnings.
This recent fight was a big deal, and Garcia even put $2 million on himself and came out victorious. But things took a downturn when he lost $1.5 million to Devin Haney after failing to make weight for their bout, and he was hit with a one-year suspension that caused him to lose even more.
Even with these setbacks, it seems Garcia is getting back on track financially. He recently shared the good news that he won nearly $500,000 from a bet he placed on UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, who successfully defended his title against Israel Adesanya.
Garcia expressed his excitement on social media, saying, “I F**KING TOLD YOU STOP DOUBTING ME. LETS GOOO 500k 🫡🫡🫡.” The reaction shows he’s been deeply involved and following the UFC closely.
He had previously placed a $500,000 bet on Du Plessis, who hails from South Africa. After watching the title fight unfold, Garcia shared his love for South Africa, showing an apparent admiration for the champion.
However, while celebrating Du Plessis’ win, Garcia is still uncertain about how he would fare in future matches, especially with the challenges of the UFC at this level.
After all the drama surrounding his match with Haney, it’ll be exciting to see what the future holds for Ryan Garcia as fans eagerly await his next move.
