Garcia Cashes in Big on Self-Bet
Although Garcia won't take Haney's belts due to weighing in too heavy, he is still very satisfied with his performance. Reports suggest that Garcia pocketed a staggering $12 million, or roughly £9.5 million, from a $2 million bet he placed on himself. Including his earnings from the fight, Garcia believes he made around $50 million in one night.

Despite having to pay up $500k per pound he was overweight after missing weight, Garcia's confidence and success in the ring have left fans impressed. One fan commented, "That's how you rob the bank," while another said, "That’s cold-blooded." A third fan praised Garcia for playing life in hard mode and winning.
