Ryan Garcia bet 2 million on himself and won 12 million?!

can't comment on legality or whatever but when you take this into account and Ryan giving Haney 2+ million for missing weight you could start seeing the ethical implications of allowing this kind of stuff

Good point
 
I think the judge that gave Garcia 8 rounds had a bet on him as well.

The real question is: how can you think this is illegal?

Why couldn’t you bet on yourself to win? Because you could rig the fight by trying to win? Every boxer is supposed to try to win anyway. Think sometimes.
 
This can only work when you're a huge underdog (going up +500 at least) and it's probably a tactic that can only happen once to most fighters.

That being said, that extra 10+ million payout + risk of a 2 million loss really did something to convince Ryan to rev up his gears.

Anyone else think that Andy Ruiz did this in the first Joshua fight because the odds of Ruiz winning was +2800?

This is dumb.

There's nothing wrong about betting on yourself every time you think you're gonna win, no matter the odds. From the fighter's point of view, it's free money.

The main reason most people don't bet is because we don't know whether a fighter is secretely injured, overly dehydrated or undertrained. The fighters themselves know these things. Floyd Mayweather Jr. regularly bets on himself.

What areyou talking about? Literally non of this makes any sense.
 
1. I think he's in withdrawal.
2. He's in PR crisis control.
