Sean O’Malley is confident he will have a massive boxing match like Conor McGregor did and says it will be against Ryan Garcia.

O’Malley and Garcia have both expressed interest in the potential matchup, and the intrigue only increased after Garcia pulled off an upset win over Devin Haney over the weekend.

“They told me you can do a boxing fight, 100 percent, if it makes us enough money,” Sean O’Malley said on his TimboSugarShow podcast. “So the option’s there, it just has to be able to make enough money. But Ryan being a f****** freak like that, you need two A-sides to make a f****** Floyd-Conor fight.”

Although Sean O’Malley wants the fight to happen, he says he still needs two more fights and win to get it and make it that much bigger.

“I’m not there yet,” O’Malley said. “I’ve still got to become bigger. Two more f****** sick performances and then we’re talking about being able to do whatever the f*** we want.”

Sean O’Malley Wonders Where Ryan Garcia Will Be Mentally After This Win

In the lead-up to Ryan Garcia’s boxing match against Devin Haney, many fans were worried about his mental state.

However, after Garcia won, he says he was doing that on purpose to make people think he wasn’t as good as he was. But, O’Malley admits there is some concern about Garcia after the big win, and how he may handle himself.

“I think he’s that crazy, he’s that good too,” O’Malley said. “He probably trained hard. Some people have different genes. I couldn’t do it. … He’s going to make his money. Let’s see where he goes in the next two weeks. Winning that big of a fight, making that much more money, having those s***** people around you, let’s see where he’s at mentally in two weeks.”

For now, O’Malley is just focused on his MMA career, but he knows he will face Garcia in boxing before their careers are up.

Ryan Garcia banks $12 million after betting on himself to beat Devin Haney

Ryan Garcia cashed in on Saturday night.

Not only did the 25-year-old boxing star bag the biggest win of his career, but he also walked away with $12 million after reportedly placing a $2 million bet on himself at +600 odds to defeat Devin Haney. All told, ‘King Ryan’ walked away with roughly $50 million following his impressive showing in The Big Apple.

“If you bet, BET ON YOURSELF. On top of what we made, EATING GOOD,” Garcia wrote on Instagram. “About 50 million (probably more) in one night; not too shabby.”

No wonder Ryan wasn’t concerned with forking over $1.5 million to his opponent after showing up more than three pounds over the limit.

Did Ryan Garcia pull off the greatest troll job in combat sports history?

After having a complete mental breakdown on social media over the last several weeks, sportsbooks heavily favored Haney to come out on top inside the Barclays Center. Garcia was listed as high as +800, meaning a $100 bet would have netted you a return of $800.

Pundits have since theorized that Ryan Garcia’s slew of nonsensical rants on social media were nothing more than a way to bring down his odds of winning. The cherry on top was Garcia showing up heavy 24 hours ahead of fight night and chugging a beer as he stepped on the scale.

According to ESPN, there are no regulations about a boxer betting on themselves by the Nevada State Athletic Commission or the Nevada Gaming Control. Whether or not that holds true in NYC remains to be seen.

Eddie Hearn and Ryan Garcia’s father get into nasty verbal altercation following Devin Haney fight

Things got intense between Ryan Garcia’s father and British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn on Saturday night.

‘King Ryan’ scored perhaps the biggest win of his professional boxing career, dispatching WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney with a sensational 12-round performance that saw him knock down ‘The Dream’ three times during the contest. Garcia ultimately left with a majority decision victory despite Haney walking into the bout as a massive 8-to-1 favorite on multiple sportsbooks.

Immediately following the festivities, Hearn and Ryan Garcia’s father got into a heated verbal exchange backstage.

“Big respect to Ryan Garcia, he was amazing,” Hearn began before being interrupted by Garcia Sr. “Well done, well done.”

“That’s what you get. You’re a piece of sh*t” Garcia Sr. shouted.

“Oh really? F*ck you. F*ck you, you little piece of sh*t. What are you talking about?” Hearn responded.

“F*ck you, you know you’re a piece of sh*t and that’s what you get,” Garcia Sr. said, grabbing his crotch in the process. “Now what are you going to say? Luke Campbell and Devin Haney, f*ck you. Now who have you got?”

Hearn offered up reigning IBF welterweight champion Jaron Ennis, which instantly calmed things down between the two. Hearn reached out, offering a handshake that Garcia Sr. accepted.

And that ladies and gentlemen, is how adults squash a beef.

After his decisive performance against Haney, Ryan Garcia appears to have plenty of fighters ready to step up and cash in on his big win. ‘King Ryan’ welcomed a clash with Ennis, to which the former two-time Golden Gloves Champion called Garcia “food.”

Garcia also accepted a challenge from British boxing star Conor Benn.

“Let’s run it in London at the O2,” Garcia wrote in response to Benn’s challenge on X. “I will fracture you SPLEIN and then eat it.”

As it stands, Benn is ineligible to compete in the UK after testing positive for clomifene on two occasions in 2022. The ban was lifted in July 2023 but was reinstated last month after the British Boxing Board of Control successfully appealed the decision to reinstate the Greenwich native.

Israel Adesanya’s wallet is a little lighter this morning.

After months of bizarre behavior, Ryan Garcia shocked the boxing world on Saturday night, handing WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney the first loss of his career. ‘King Ryan’ looked as sharp as ever, knocking ‘The Dream’ down three times over the 12-round affair en route to a majority decision victory.

Needless to say, it was a good night for the sportsbooks. Haney was a significant favorite going into the contest with some sites listing him as high as 8-to-1. ‘The Last Stylebender’ decided to take the bait, placing a $20,000 bet on Haney to KO Garcia at +100 odds, meaning that Adesanya would have doubled his money had the bet hit.

“Shoot the dice,” Adesanya wrote on X alongside a picture of his play.

Instead, it was Garcia who nearly finished things. After catching Haney with a booming left hook in the opening round, Garcia slowed down a bit, leading many to believe he’d already punched himself out. That theory was thrown out after ‘King Ryan’ dropped his opponent in the seventh, tenth, and eleventh rounds.

And poof! $20,000 down the drain.

It’s not the first time Israel Adesanya has lost big money betting on boxing

It’s far from the first time that Israel Adesanya has come up short while laying down big money. He put another 20k down on Francis Ngannou to leave with a win over Tyson Fury last October. Unfortunately, ‘The Predator’ came up short on two of the three scorecards, a decision that was and still is heavily scrutinized.

In reality, it’s unlikely that the ‘Stylebender’ is putting up his own money. His sponsorship deal with Stake likely affords him so many opportunities to play with house money — so long as he advertises his bets on social media.

Still, 20 grand is nothing to scoff at, no matter whose pocket it comes out of.

Former two-division UFC champion, Conor McGregor has lept to the support and defense of professional boxing star, Ryan Garcia after his shocking upset win over world champion, Devin Haney overnight in Brooklyn – praising the youngster amid continued speculation over his mental state and frame of mind.

Garcia, a former interim WBC lightweight champion, returned to the ring overnight on the East Coast, taking on arch-rival Haney in a huge, high-profile grudge fight.

Missing weight during the week by a staggering three pounds, resulting in a fine – as well as a $1,500,000 wager with Haney, Ryan Garcia ultimately forced a non-title bout with his failure to make contracted weight.

However, with many pundits and fans speculating over the mental state of an erratic and irritated Garcia throughout the build up to the event, the 25-year-old turned in a highlight performance en route to a huge upset, majority decision win.

Wobbling Haney early in the opening round of their 12 frame clash, Ryan Garcia would go on to lodge a decision victory in an upset manner, having scored a spectacular three separate knockdowns against the San Francisco native.

And with many within the combat sports community sharing their thoughts on Garcia’s psyche both before and after his win over Haney, the above-mentioned, McGregor – who travelled backstage to the California’s locker room following his knockout loss to Gervonta Daivs last year, heaped praise on his win.
