Ryan Garcia scolded promoter Oscar De La Hoya for calling him while he was at a party, telling him not to call him until he has a “20 million deal” for him. A video clip of Kingry having a conversation with De La Hoya was posted on X.
Garcia Demands $20 Million Payday
“Don’t ever hit me up unless you have a $20 million deal for me. Okay, Oscar? Don’t ever call me unless you have a $20 million fight. Do you understand? Get off my f**** phone, Oscar,” said Ryan Garcia on X, scolding Golden Boy Promotions boss Oscar De La Hoya for calling him while he was at a party.
A Public Scolding
“Don’t call me unless you’ve got that $20 million deal. Oscar De La Hoya just called me,” said Ryan.

The $20 million asking price by Ryan is the same money he got for his last fight against Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero on May 2nd at Times Square in New York City. To get that same payday, it would require that Turki Alalshikh be involved. De La Hoya likely wouldn’t want to stick his neck out paying that kind of dough for a fight that might hemorrhage money.
The Cost of a Rematch
Garcia, 26, wants a rematch with Rolly to try to avenge his loss from May 2nd. However, that’s not a fight that would likely turn a profit. Romero isn’t a big enough name to create enough interest in a second. Moreover, a lot of Ryan’s popularity went down the drain with the little effort he made in that fight. He didn’t appear to even try to win after being dropped in round two by Rolly.
Ryan sounds like he’s spoiled after getting the $20 million for what was supposed to be a tune-up against Rolly.
