The fight between Ryan Garcia and Oscar Duarte has not only generateed excitement in the boxing world, but also presented a different financial outlook for "KingRy".

Although Garcia earned $30 million in his last fight against Gervonta Davis, according to various reports, his purse for the Duarte bout will be significantly reduced to just $5 million.

That is around one-sixth of his previous earnings. While this figure is considerable, it reflects a substantial difference compared to his previous fight.

Why is the payment structure so different?

The contrast in earnings is due in part to the profile of the opponent and the absence of a pay-per-view (PPV) broadcast this time around.

While Oscar Duarte is a respectable opponent, his name does not carry the same media weight as that of Gervonta Davis.

In addition, the lack of PPV limits the ability to generate additional broadcast revenue, which directly impacts Garcia's overall purse.

Despite the reduction in earnings, Ryan Garcia maintains his status as the overwhelming favorite for the fight, according to bookmakers. His reputation, built up against quality opponents, puts him in a strong position to come out on top in this Houston, Texas showdown against a dangerous-looking opponent who comes in on an 11-fight win streak, all by knockout.

What is unknown is how much Duarte will earn for this fight, but it will surely be the best purse of his career, and also the great opportunity to make himself known around the world.

Ryan Garcia and Duarte both made weight for their highly anticipated showdown this Saturday in Houston.

At the official weigh-in, Ryan registered 143 pounds, while Duarte weighed in at 142.8 pounds, confirming his preparation and commitment for the WBA super lightweight title fight.
