The duel between Ryan “King Ryan” Garcia and Rolando “Rolly” Romero, who ended this night in Times Square (New York) with a victory for the points of Romero by unanimous decision of the judges (112-115, 112-115, 118-109), generated considerable sums for the two protagonists.
According to the estimates that are reported to us, the combat co-roam by Golden Boy Promotion, Match boxing, Top Rank and TGB Promotions allowed the two boxers to win substantial scholarships. Ryan Garcia, despite his defeat, leaves with the biggest check: a guarantee of $ 5 million, supplemented with a share of 65% of the income generated by Pay-Per-View sales.
Ryan Garcia lost in the ring but won the bonus fight
For Rolando Romero, this fight represents the jackpot of his career with a guaranteed grant of $ 1.2 million, increased on the one hand by 35% of Pay-Per-View revenues. Based on an estimate of 850,000 purchases in Pay-Per-View, total gains would reach approximately $ 18 million for Garcia and 5 million for Romero.
This poster comes after a contrasting period for the two boxers. Garcia, who had experienced a major defeat against Gervonta Davis, got up by defeating Oscar Duarte, before a controversial fight against Devin Haney solded by a “no contest” but which reportedly brought him more than $ 15 million. For his part, Romero came out of a victory against Manuel Jaies (for which he had perceived 200,000 dollars) after suffering a significant defeat against Isaac Cruz.
Financial projections suggest that if pay-per-see sales exceeded one million units, Garcia could pocket up to $ 20 million, while Romero would see her remuneration climb around 7 million-amounts that would definitively confirm this fight as one of the most lucrative of their respective careers.
