The Ryan Garcia Adrien Broner concern for ‘AB’ and advise for him recently came across as a bit rich from Garcia.
Garcia might be Instagram famous but people in America know all about him and what he is really like.
Garcia has done alright recently in boxing though with a strong win over Mario Barrios, who was very under par though who boxed shockingly bad, in a points win recently.
Garcia doesn’t fool us though. If it wasn’t for Barrios being so poor he would not have won that wide. Ryan Garcia is a boxer in huge decline in recent years and he knows it.
He has been boozing in between his fights and drunk at times on all sorts of fan forum chats arguing with fans and so on.
So for him to offer advise on Broner’s drinking recently came across as rubbish. Let’s look at the facts a minute.

| Garcia’s stated intent | Offered “support rather than criticism” and “empathy”. Media described it as “compassionate support” amid Broner’s public health concerns | Apr-May 2026 | |

| Broner’s response | No public response reported as of May 6, 2026. Broner has previously been open about battles with drinking | May 2026 |
Basically Adrien Broner is a four-weight world champion and if he wanted to get back in the boxing ring by now he would have sobered up by now and got back to training.
Broner for a long time has been having issues with boozing and he doesn’t appear serious on coming back to boxing at all.
As for Garcia, he is in talks at the moment for possible fights with the likes of Conor Benn and a Devin Haney rematch has been mentioned.
Here is an estimate on the ball park of what Ryan Garcia’s net worth could be around at the moment.
