Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn is set to headline a nine-fight Zuffa Boxing card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday. The bout carries major sporting and financial significance, with Garcia defending the WBC welterweight title and Benn returning to the 147-pound division for his first world title opportunity.
The event is part of a major combat sports doubleheader following Noche UFC. Alongside the Garcia-Benn main event, the card features Jai Opetaia vs Noel Mikaelian, Mark Magsayo vs Andres Cortes and Da’Mazion Vanhouter vs Raphael Akpejiori on the main card.
With several established names competing, attention has also turned toward the purses and previous earnings of the fighters involved. However, it is important to distinguish between officially disclosed purses and reported or estimated earnings.
How Much Has Ryan Garcia Earned?
Ryan Garcia has already secured several major paydays during his professional boxing career. According to reported figures, the American has earned an estimated $116.3 million across his career.
Garcia reportedly earned around $30 million for his 2023 showdown with Gervonta Davis. He was then reported to have received another $30 million from his 2024 fight against Devin Haney.
His reported earnings continued to grow with his February 2026 fight against Mario Barrios, for which he was said to have earned approximately $20 million.
Those figures demonstrate the commercial value Garcia has built as one of boxing’s biggest stars. His speed, knockout power and large following have helped him become a major attraction in the sport.
Conor Benn’s Reported Fight Earnings
Conor Benn has also enjoyed a significant rise in his fight purses as his profile has grown. The British welterweight has reportedly earned some of the biggest paydays of his career in recent bouts.
Benn was reported to have made approximately $10 million for his April 2025 fight against Chris Eubank Jr. His next major payday reportedly came against Regis Prograis in April 2026, when his earnings were estimated at around $15 million.
The upcoming Garcia fight represents another major financial opportunity for Benn. More importantly, it gives him the chance to challenge for a world title after returning to the welterweight division.
Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn Betting Odds
Garcia enters the contest as the clear betting favorite. The reported odds list Garcia at -370, while Benn is priced at +275.
The matchup is expected to revolve around Garcia’s speed and counter-punching ability against Benn’s aggressive pressure and power. Garcia’s left hook is considered one of his most dangerous weapons.
Benn’s move back down to 147 pounds is another major talking point heading into the contest. He has not competed at welterweight since 2022, making his ability to handle the weight cut an important factor.
Jai Opetaia vs Noel Mikaelian Purses
The co-main event features Jai Opetaia defending his cruiserweight titles against Noel Mikaelian.
Opetaia is listed as a significant favorite at -1400, while Mikaelian enters as a +700 underdog. Reported figures indicate that Opetaia has earned base purses of around $1.5 million for major fights, including approximately $1 million for his 2024 bout against Jack Massey.
Mikaelian’s reported earnings have been considerably lower. A purse bid connected to his 2025 fight against Badou Jack was reportedly worth $301,018, while a proposed $1 million payout was reported before his move to Zuffa Boxing.
Mark Magsayo vs Andres Cortes
Mark Magsayo will face Andres Cortes in another main-card contest. Magsayo enters the lightweight matchup as the reported favorite at -165.
According to figures reported by boxing journalist Dan Rafael, Magsayo earned $300,000 for his 2023 fight against Brandon Figueroa. That figure was based on a California State Athletic Commission disclosure.
The fight against Cortes gives Magsayo another opportunity to add to his career earnings while competing on a major Las Vegas card.
Jose Ramirez and Alexis Rocha Lead the Prelims
The preliminary portion of the event includes a welterweight matchup between Jose Ramirez and Alexis Rocha.
Ramirez has already collected several significant purses throughout his career. His documented earnings include a reported $1 million purse from his 2023 fight against Richard Commey.
Available records also indicate that Ramirez’s recorded minimum career payouts have reached at least $2.1 million. His actual overall earnings are likely higher when additional compensation and undisclosed payments are taken into account.

Why Reported Boxing Purses Can Differ
The purse figures surrounding the event should be treated carefully because official disclosures do not always reflect a fighter’s complete compensation.
A disclosed purse may represent only the guaranteed amount reported to a commission, while a fighter can potentially earn additional money through pay-per-view revenue, sponsorships, bonuses and other contractual arrangements.
For that reason, reported estimates for Ryan Garcia, Conor Benn and the other fighters should not automatically be viewed as their final take-home earnings.
Still, the available figures highlight the enormous financial stakes surrounding Saturday’s event. Garcia arrives as the champion and betting favorite, while Benn has the opportunity to claim a world title and potentially secure one of the biggest victories of his career.
With a championship on the line and several high-profile fighters on the card, the Garcia-Benn event is set to be one of the most financially significant boxing nights of the weekend.
