How do you make money simply because someone is over the weight limit in boxing?

Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia have that answer: the two are fighting in a WBC super lightweight title on Saturday, but Haney was worried about Garcia make weight. So Garcia declared that Haney should bet him $500,000 that he would, and Haney went beyond: it would be $500,000 PER POUND that he was over.

Well, Garcia came in 3.2 pounds over, and Haney is now $1.5 million richer. Easiest money he’ll ever make! And he posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Garcia was a man of his word, as you’ll see below.
