In addition to earning money from punches, Garcia is also collecting checks from high-end sponsorships with companies like YoungLA, 1800 Tequila, Gatorade, Gymshark, and Dior. His popularity extends far beyond the boxing community, as evidenced by the fact that he became the first professional boxer in the United States to sign a contract with Gatorade.

Before, Romero made the most money from fights with Gervonta Davis ($500K in 2022) and Isaac Cruz ($850K in 2024). But such figures are quite less compared to Garcia’s hauls. But they still show a sharp increase in Rolly’s marketability.
Romero has sponsorship deals with Nike, Everlast, Hublot, and Represent outside of the ring. Though these are major names, the overall value and reach of his deals don’t match the marketing monster that is Ryan Garcia.

Garcia emerged as the financial and cultural winner due to his fight with Davis, which reportedly brought in over $100 million. His bouts frequently make headlines and dominate media cycles and pay-per-view buys.
However, despite his victories against Davis and Cruz, Romero’s fights haven’t yet reached Garcia’s level of commercial gravity. Safe to say, he is making waves but not causing a tsunami like Garcia.
Who has stronger brand value outside the ring: Ryan Garcia or Rolly Romero?
Ryan Garcia is the clear winner in terms of brand appeal. His list of endorsements, which includes Gymshark and Gatorade, is an influencer’s paradise.

Garcia has leverage that very few, if any, boxers can match. Thanks to his social media following. He has a crossover appeal that attracts people who aren’t even boxing enthusiasts because he appears in advertisements, magazine covers, and on TikTok and Instagram.
Despite having deals with major brands like Hublot and Nike, Rolly Romero does not yet have the same cultural prestige. His brand is still expanding, but Garcia is already a media tycoon in boxing gloves.
Ryan Garcia is the CEO of boxing, if it is a business. While Rolly Romero is experiencing financial and commercial success. Garcia is already functioning on a worldwide scale: As a fighter, influencer, and a brand, all rolled into one.
