(Photo by Getty Images) has promised to pay after losing a $20,000 over bet for the Gervonta Davis vs. Rolando Romero fight over the weekend. ‘KingRy’ was at the Barclays Center in New York to watch his former sparring partner Romero try to upset Floyd Mayweather’s protégé. To spice things up, the 23-year-old made a winner-takes-all 20 grand bet with Spence, who was also at ringside for the fight. The odds didn’t go Garcia’s way as Davis brutally knocked out Romero in round six. After the fight, Spence posted on his Instagram account a video of him and Garcia arranging the bet to remind the latter of their wager. He said: "That s*** turned bad quick for ya mans." In an interview with FightHype.com, Garcia vowed to fulfill his end of the bargain, saying: “I’m gonna pay him. Everybody thinks that I’m not gonna pay him.” He went on to say: “20K was a little bit too much, I shouldn’t have bet that. I was just like, Errol Spence obviously has a lot of money, why would he bet on anything less than 20K? I got a good amount but I’m pretty sure Errol has a little more. All I know is he’s rich, I have to bet 20 [thousand].” Watch Ryan Garcia’s full interview with FightHype.com:
