Ryan Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, has revealed how much he earned for the Gervonta Davis fight as their feud continues. Garcia aims to erase the lingering disappointment from his recent knockout defeat to Davis earlier this year as he steps back into the ring against Oscar Duarte at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, on December 2. Garcia is set to make his debut at 140 pounds, accompanied by a change in trainers from Joe Goosen to Derrick James, with the aspiration of revitalizing the next phase of his career.
In the build-up to the fight, Garcia had made it clear that there was still tension with his Golden Boy promoter, De La Hoya. In June, Garcia claimed through a demand letter that Golden Boy breached his promotional contract. These allegations outlined in the letter prompted Golden Boy to respond, resulting in the filing of a lawsuit later that month in the U.S. District Court of Nevada to enforce their contract with Garcia.

The crazy thing is, I’m going to box my a** off, and it’s going to be great, and then I’m going to box my a** off for a team that doesn’t even believe in me, but damn, they’ll collect that money I’m making them,” he said, continuing:
“They’ll collect that $6 million, though, but you don’t know if I should box again, but you made that money off that fight, though. Yeah, shut up. Watch, when I win, that’s just what it’s going to be.”
