Although the fan lost his money betting against Garcia, Ryan made sure to not make the same mistake and he put a bet on himself. But how much did Ryan Garcia’s gamble on him paid?
Ryan’s reward: Reaping the riches from a bold bet
Did Ryan Garcia just change the game by betting on himself? It certainly looks that way. After his stunning victory, Ryan shared on Instagram, “If you bet, BET ON YOURSELF… EATING GOOD… About 50 million (probably more) in one night not too shabby… I will let God guide me on how to use this money Amen…”
He had boldly placed a $2 million bet on his own victory, a move that evidently paid off as he raked in an astounding $50 million for the night. Even his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, hinted at the huge earnings, stating Ryan was poised to earn around $30 million with potential to double that amount. This wasn’t just a win in the ring, but a jackpot moment that had everyone talking.
Not only did ‘The Flash’ win the fight, but he also secured a financial windfall that most can only dream of. Could Ryan’s success inspire more athletes to take similar risks? What do you think—would you ever bet big on yourself like ‘KingRy’ did? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments down below!
