Ryan Garcia pays out $20,000 after losing bet on Gervonta Davis fight result

Ryan Garcia has stuck to his word and paid out $20,000 to Errol Spence Jr after Gervonta Davis knocked out Rolly Romero on Saturday night.

Garcia was in attendance over the weekend at the Barclays Center for Davis' long-awaited clash with Romero, which the Baltimore native won by sixth round knockout. Davis was the favourite heading into both this weekend's fight and their originally planned bout last year, but Garcia backed Romero to pull off the upset.

Prior to the bout, Spence went to check just how sure Garcia was about the result, and offered to bet $20,000 on Davis winning the contest. Davis was a massive 1/10 favourite with bookies, so Spence was getting himself a monster price for an evens bet with Garcia.
