All you need to know how much did Gervonta Davis make vs Ryan Garcia during a pro boxing match on April 22.
It was believed that the power advantage that Gervonta “Tank” Davis would have over his opponent would attract a minimum of seven figures for the bout. If pay-per-view and ticket sales are not included in the total, it is estimated that Davis made at least $5 million from the fight.
It was anticipated that Davis would decide in a bout between two of the most promising up-and-coming stars in boxing, in addition to receiving fifty percent of the pay-per-view profits for the event. It is anticipated that the total amount that Gervonta would take home will be close to $10 million.
His opponent Ryan Garcia is guaranteed to take home $2.5 million in prize money after the fight. However, due to the fact that he is anticipated to have a fifty percent interest in the pay-per-view figures, his real payoff will be far larger. It is possible that the remuneration for the former WBC interim lightweight champion would be close to $5 million.
Despite the fact that Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis had a number of heated exchanges in the run-up to their fight on April 22, Ryan made it a point to put a stop to their dispute after suffering a knockout defeat to the WBA regular champion.
Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia: Payout
Although differing figures have been published, what we can usually expect to be accurate is that Davis is promised a cool $5 million, while Garcia is likely to earn almost half of that with his prize being guaranteed at $2.5 million. The 50-50 split that was agreed upon for the pay-per-view money received from the bout does not take into account such data, regardless of how big they may be. Considering the cost of $85, both the fighters are going to be rich by the time the evening is through.
Garcia, who has a record of 23-1 with 19 knockouts, maintained his competitiveness throughout the whole round and landed a series of single power strikes to get Davis’ attention. Garcia was unable to halt the count following a deft counter left hand to the body, which was delivered by his opponent.
After a delayed response caused blood to run from his nose at 1:44 in Round 7, the 24-year-old social media sensation slumped down to one knee. However, he was unable to recover as referee Thomas Taylor called Garcia out just as he rose up.
Floyd Mayweather, Davis’s former promoter, and Gervonta Davis, age 28, got back in touch with one other before the bout. After Davis won, he offered Mayweather a strong embrace while grinning broadly. Davis spent the bulk of the promotion convincing members of the media that he already is, despite the narrative around this fight suggesting that the winner may become the new face of the sport, which was tough to dispute after his performance. Davis’s performance made it difficult to discuss whether or not he should be considered the new face of the sport.
Who is this Gervonta Davis who knocked down Ryan Garcia?
Boxer Gervonta Davis is from the United States and competes at the professional level. He entered the world on November 7th, 1994 in the city of Baltimore, in the state of Maryland. Davis started his career as a professional boxer in 2013, and since then he has won the world championship in several weight categories. He is famous for his lightning-fast footwork, devastating punching power, and aggressive fighting style. Mayweather Promotions, the promotional business run by boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr., is the one responsible for Davis’s promotion.
Davis got his start in boxing at an early age and went on to have a prosperous amateur career, during which he won many national titles. In 2013, he made the transition to the professional ranks, and in 2015, after a streak of outstanding victories, he signed with Mayweather Promotions. Mayweather became Davis’ mentor and took him under his wing, helping him through the early stages of his professional career.
In 2017, Davis won his first world title after knocking out the defending champion Jose Pedraza in the seventh round of their match for the IBF junior lightweight championship. Two times, he successfully defended the title, and then in 2018, he moved up to the super featherweight division and won the WBA championship in that weight class. Since then, he has gone on to become the WBA lightweight title, giving him a world champion in two different weight classes.
The ferocious punching strength of Davis, for which he is renowned, led to the coining of the moniker “Tank.” He is able to terminate battles with a single blow from either hand because of the devastating strength he has overall. In addition to this, he is famous for his flamboyant, high-energy fighting style and his ability to put on a show for his supporters.
Davis has been involved in a number of legal issues outside of the ring, including repeated arrests on assault charges. On the other hand, he has also made use of his position to raise awareness about issues related to mental health and has been an advocate for the prevention of suicide.
