Boxer Ryan Garcia was unable to contend for the super lightweight title in New York on Saturday after failing to make weight for his fight against Devin Haney. The situation was further complicated by a $1.5 million wager that Garcia had made before the weigh-in.
Prior to the weigh-in, Garcia and Haney agreed that they would owe each other $500,000 for every pound they were overweight. When Garcia stepped on the scale, he weighed in at 143.2 pounds, which was 3.2 pounds over the limit, resulting in a $1.5 million loss for the boxer.
