Ryan Garcia earned a huge amount from his stunning victory over Devin Haney despite losing a $1.5 million bet.

Garcia missed the super-lightweight limit for his world title showdown against Haney on Saturday.

At the official weigh-ins, he tipped the scales at 143.2lbs - with the championship bout scheduled for 140lbs.

He lost a bet after failing to make weight that was agreed by both fighters at the pre-fight press conference.

Garcia gave a shocking reason as to why he was unable to make weight as his team clashed with Haney's entourage before fight night.

But he shone in the ring as he dropped Haney THREE times before eking out a majority decision victory in Brooklyn.

His left-hook was money as he claimed the biggest scalp of his professional career.

Talking of money, Garcia pocketed a figure in the ballpark of $30 million.

Haney's father, Bill, confirmed that the revenue from the fight will be divided 55/45 in favour of Garcia, who bagged $30 million against Gervonta Davis last year.

It's claimed that 'King Ryan' stands to earn a purse in a similar range after inflicting Haney with the first defeat of his professional career.

Speaking in the ring after his triumph, Garcia said: "Come on, guys, you really thought I was crazy? You all lost your own minds. You guys overegg everything."

In his post-fight press conference, he said he had been 'drinking every night' in preparation after getting divorced earlier this year.

"Not necessarily am I proud of that, but I'm just saying - I do whatever I want and still win," he added.

The 25-year-old is in line for another mega payday following his big win over Haney.

The likes of Jaron 'Boots' Ennis and Conor Benn have called out Garcia ahead of a potential fight this year.
