Okay, so I saw this “ryan garcia purse” thing trending and, honestly, I was clueless. Boxing purses? What even is that? So, I decided to dive in and figure it out, mostly because I was bored and needed something to occupy my brain.
My Deep Dive (More Like a Shallow Paddle)
First, I just did a simple search. Nothing fancy, just typed in “ryan garcia purse” and let the internet do its thing.
It became pretty clear this wasn’t about some fancy man-bag. It’s all about how much money fighters, like Ryan Garcia, get paid for a fight. The “purse” is basically the total prize money that gets split between the boxers.
Figuring Out the Details
- I started looking at recent fights. It looked like the numbers were changing with every opponent and every event. The location also made a big difference.
- I spent time comparing different boxing websites and forums. Some forums were just full of speculation, other site got some detailed report. It’s kind of a mess, to be honest, piecing it all together.
After I’d wasted, I mean, invested, a good chunk of time, I felt like I had a slightly better understanding. Still fuzzy, but better!
Basically, it’s all a big negotiation. Factors are how popular the fighter is, how many people are expected to watch, and a bunch of other stuff I probably still don’t fully grasp. it’s a complicated business.
