Ryan Garcia has reportedly failed to make weight ahead of his highly anticipated bout against Devin Haney this Saturday. Despite missing the mark by a significant three pounds, the fight is still set to proceed.
Haney took to social media to confirm Garcia’s weight issue and revealed that he will receive a hefty sum of $1.5 million from Garcia as per their agreed penalty of $500,000 per pound over the limit.
Golden Boy, the event’s promoters, have verified Garcia’s failure to make weight and have acknowledged their commitment to the agreement made during yesterday’s press conference.
