Ryan Garcia’s attorney and advisor, Guadalupe Valencia, updated The Ring’s Mike Coppinger on the status of discussions surrounding a potential fight with Floyd Mayweather on Friday.
“A fight between Ryan and Floyd would be the biggest-earning fight in boxing history, and would break all viewership records. Period," he said.
Garcia (26-2, 21 KOs) last fought in September with a devastating second-round stoppage of Conor Benn to retain his WBC welterweight title that he lifted earlier this year from Mario Barrios.
Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) hasn't fought since 2017 vs. Conor McGregor outside of exhibitions. He was recently linked to a rematch with Manny Pacquiao, whom he defeated in 2015, but negotiations fell through.
"When Floyd is free from other obligations, we will certainly work to make this fight happen; hopefully real soon," Valencia said. "This would only be a real fight — not an exhibition — with Mayweather’s 50-0 on the line.”
