Boxing sensation Ryan Garcia dropped a bombshell, revealing that Floyd Mayweather advised him to show up three pounds heavier for his bout against Devin Haney. This unexpected twist has sent shockwaves through the boxing world, sparking debates and speculation about Mayweather’s motives and Garcia’s strategy.
Garcia revealed On X that Floyd Mayweather advised him to come in 3 lbs over for his fight against Devin Haney. This strategy is not uncommon in boxing, where fighters often negotiate weight limits to gain an advantage. By allowing Garcia to weigh in slightly heavier, Mayweather aimed to maximize his protege’s power and endurance in the ring and it worked!

Having a weight advantage can significantly impact a boxer’s performance. With the extra pounds, Garcia felt more robust during the fight, potentially giving him an edge over Haney.
Is Ryan Garcia trolling again? If not, he and Floyd Mayweather pulled off one of the biggest heists in boxing history! Last weekend, fireworks flew as the Victorville native defeated long-time career rival Devin Haney in Brooklyn, New York. He literally defied the odds to do it, especially considering everyone had given up on him because of his social media antics.
That’s not all! To add a layer of doubt, ‘The Flash’ Garcia came in overweight during the final weigh-ins for the fight. At the time, it seemed like Garcia was having difficulty managing weight. However, the latest social media post from Garcia suggests something more sinister was afoot. And it involved Floyd Mayweather!
Earlier today, ‘King Ry’ turned to X, claiming it was Floyd Mayweather, who instructed him to come in overweight for the fight. He wrote, “Floyd told me to come in over 3 lbs. He told me f**k Bill Haney. Whatever.” Not long after, ‘King Ry’ also shared an image of him and Floyd over a FaceTime call, with Mayweather holding up three fingers. Back before the fight, Garcia even had to pay Haney $1.5 million for missing weight, per their bet.
However, ‘The Dream’ seemed okay with Garcia’s additional 3.2 lbs. He even suggested it doesn’t matter what weight Garcia comes in at, he will beat him. Of course, that wasn’t the case, but Garcia’s post suggests it was a calculated move. Coupled with the fact that Floyd Mayweather tried to derail the fight before, it seems highly likely!
Way before the fight was officially confirmed, Garcia and Mayweather became close, having been spotted together in Los Angeles. It later came out that Garcia was dropping Haney to fight Rolly Romero, but that didn’t work, and Garcia went back to Haney. The 25-year-old had even acknowledged the fact, revealing Floyd asked him to avoid fighting Haney! Not to mention the Gervonta Davis vs. Devin Haney leaked sparring footage, which Garcia claimed Floyd gave him.
Given the evidence, it seems likely that Garcia is telling the truth. However, it’s a developing story, and only time will tell what’s right. Meanwhile, Garcia recently dropped another bombshell!
The ring is not just about punches but a whirlwind of drama and strategy that keeps you on your toes. From fighters cutting weight to trainers giving quirky advice, the boxing realm is a show you can’t miss.
