It was almost a year ago that there was a report that Mikey Garcia was on the cusp of signing with UFC president Dana White’s new Zuffa Boxing promotion. Obviously that never materialized, but White is clearly a fan of the WBC lightweight champion, and he even went as far as to place a wager on Garcia to pull off the upset against Errol Spence Jr in Saturday night’s FOX PPV main event.
That’s chump change for someone as wealthy as White, but a bet is a bet and he stood to collect $33,000 if Garcia had defeated Spence.
