A look below at what the Ryan Garcia vs Rolly Romero fight purse will be around and how much the fighters stand to make in a huge night in New York.
The mind games are already underway between the two ahead of Friday’s big fight in Times Square.
Here’s what to expect on the numbers side:
Ryan Garcia vs Rolly Romero Fight Purse
- Garcia Purse: $20 million (claimed by Garcia before the fight)
- Romero Purse: Estimated $1-2 million but maybe higher (based on $500,000 for 2023 Barroso fight)
- Garcia Past Earnings: $2.5 million (vs Gervonta Davis, 2023), $30 million reported (Davis fight total), $50 million reported (vs Haney, 2024, including $12 million self-bet)
- Romero Past Earnings: $500,000 (vs Ismael Barroso, 2023)
- Garcia Withheld Purse (vs Haney, 2024): $1.1 million (returned to promoter, New York State Athletic Commission ruling)
- Garcia Fine (vs Haney, 2024): $10,000 (New York State Athletic Commission, drug test failure)
- Garcia Forfeited Purse (vs Haney, 2024): Up to $600,000 (weight miss penalty)
Expected Event Revenue (Assumptions):
- DAZN PPV Price: $59.99 (US), £21.99 (UK), $24.99 (rest of world) — $90 bundle with Canelo vs. Scull
- Estimated PPV Buys: 500,000-1 million (based on Garcia’s 1.2 million buys for Davis fight, 600,000-800,000 for Haney fight and event hype with Haney-Ramirez co-main)
- PPV Revenue: $30-60 million (500,000-1 million buys at $59.99 US — excluding international sales)
- Additional Revenue: Sponsorships, tickets, and merchandise estimated at $5-10 million (assumed for high-profile New York event, no ticket sales data available yet and obviously depends how it does on the night)
- Total Event Revenue: Estimated $35-70 million (PPV plus additional sources, conservative to optimistic range)
Alas, there’s plenty of bread to be made this weekend for both fighters and the other fighters on the card.
Well deserved, they work hard for it and earn every cent of those millions.
Roll on Friday night.
