Boxing Career
At the age of seventeen, Ryan Garcia entered the professional ring. On June 9, 2016, he faced Edgar Meza in Tijuana and prevailed via technical knockout. Oscar De La Hoya soon after revealed that Ryan will make his professional debut at The Forum for the Smith-Hopkins light-heavyweight main event on December 17, 2016, and Garcia quickly signed with Golden Boy Promotions. He was the winner of the bout by knockout in the second frame.
Garcia defeated Miguel Carrizoza in September 2017 to claim the vacant NABF Junior super featherweight title. Then, in May 2018, he defeated Jayson Velez to win the vacant super featherweight belts from the NABC and WBO-NABO. He improved his record to 18-0 after TKOing Jose Lopez in March 2019.

$700 Million Deal?
Oscar De La Hoya, Ryan’s promoter, disclosed in September 2019 that he planned to assist the rising star in inking a historic $700 million contract. During that period, Oscar thought Ryan could become “the biggest star boxing has ever seen, hands down.” The $365 million deal that De La Hoya secured for Saul Alvarez would almost quadruple with the $700 million pact. If any such enormous agreement materialized, it was never made clear. Garcia’s contract with Golden Boy was renewed in the same month for a further five years, however, the details were kept under wraps.
Fight Earnings
Garcia had only made $55,000 in his career before his knockout win over Romero Duno, which earned him a $250,000 paycheque. Despite this, Garcia felt undervalued by Golden Boy, and following the fight, he was given a purse of $500,000. Ryan Garcia earned $3 million overall from his fight with Emmanuel Tagoe, which included a 70/30 split of the pay-per-view revenue.
