Ryan Garcia walked away from Brooklyn with a huge purse following his victory over Devin Haney.
But he shone in the ring as he dropped Haney THREE times before eking out a majority decision victory in Brooklyn.Haney's father, Bill, confirmed that the revenue from the fight will be divided 55/45 in favour of Garcia, who bagged $30 million against Gervonta Davis last year.
It's claimed that 'King Ryan' stands to earn a purse in a similar range after inflicting Haney with the first defeat of his professional career.Speaking in the ring after his triumph, Garcia said: "Come on, guys, you really thought I was crazy? You all lost your own minds. You guys overegg everything."In his post-fight press conference, he said he had been 'drinking every night' in preparation after getting divorced earlier this year.
"Not necessarily am I proud of that, but I'm just saying - I do whatever I want and still win," he added.The likes of Jaron 'Boots' Ennis and Conor Benn have called out Garcia ahead of a potential fight this year.
