Record Gate
This monumental match marked the inaugural boxing event at Allegiant Stadium, setting a record gate of over $47 million, making it the largest gate in the venue’s history. This figure ranks third among the highest-grossing events in boxing, trailing only behind Floyd Mayweather’s bouts against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor, which generated $72 million and $55 million, respectively.
