Drake wins $1.38MILLION from betting on Gervonta Davis to beat Ryan Garcia
‘Tank day aka pay day’: Drake wins $1.38M betting on Gervonta Davis to beat Ryan Garcia, but takes $45k hit after three failed bets on which round the fighter would claim victory
Gervonta Davis wasn’t the only big winner on Saturday night, as Drake earned over $1.3 million after correctly predicting the final result of the fight.
Davis won by TKO in the seventh inning on a vicious shot to Ryan Garcia, ending the highly anticipated catchweight bout in favor of the undefeated Baltimore native.
And Drake correctly predicted Davis’ win, as he bet $1 million on that result.
“Tank day aka pay day,” he wrote on Instagram under a photo of the pre-fight betting slip.
That successful bet netted Drake $1.38 million, though his winnings were dented by three smaller missed bets.

The “Search & Rescue” rapper placed three separate bets on the exact round Davis would win, with $15k each in the first, second and third rounds.
Those missed predictions brought Drake’s total winnings for the night to $1,335,000.
Garcia appeared to control the fight in the second round, before Davis dropped Garcia with a left to the chin and changed the course of the fight.
From there, Davis dominated for much of the next five rounds before ending the fight in the seventh with a shot to Garcia’s liver.
Garcia knelt after the shot and didn’t get up, as Davis rode off in celebration and improved to 29-0.
