Either way, he’s certainly in a good mood after knocking out Haney in Brooklyn on Saturday.
After a very tumultuous and tempestuous build-up to the fight – in which he was forced to undergo a mental health evaluation – Garcia entered the fight as a huge underdog.
Nevertheless, he recorded three official knockdowns of his opponent to stun the Barclays Center crowd.
Garcia’s alleged $2 million bet wasn’t the only one he made prior to the fight.

The Instagram post, which appeared to be a screenshot from a TikTok, showed Garcia standing over Haney after a knockdown.
“Ryan didn’t just beat Haney,” reads a message on the photo. “He also defeated the promoters, referees and the illuminati.”
“NO WEAPON WILL BE USED AGAINST ME,” Garcia then partially captioned the photo.
There were concerns about Garcia’s mental health in the lead-up to the fight, which came to a head on March 3, when a cryptic and disturbing video claiming he was dead after receiving his ‘throat slit’ was posted on his social media accounts was posted.
He later claimed that he was raped by a relative at the age of two, that he had proof that aliens existed, and that he witnessed the rape of children by “the elites” after they were tied up in Bohemian Grove.
