- Garcia weighed 143.2lbs on Friday, 3.2lbs above division limit
- Fight at Barclays Center will go forward as non-title bout
- Garcia to honor deal to pay Haney $500k for each pound over
Ryan Garcia has spectacularly failed to make weight for his world super lightweight championship fight with Devin Haney, prompting a series of last-minute negotiations between the camps to enable Saturday’s bout at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center to be staged as a non-title fight.
Garcia weighed 143.2lbs behind closed doors on Friday morning, an eye-popping 3.2lbs above the division limit, ahead of a ceremonial weigh-in open to the public later in the day.
