The T-Mobile Arena did not sell out for The Money Fight as it was reported that 14,623 were in attendance for Mayweather-McGregor. However, it may come close to beating the gate of $72 million set by Mayweather-Pacquiao.
The capacity at the venue is 20,000. With astronomical ticket prices, most stayed away from attending and stuck to watching it on PPV.
According to Floyd Mayweather after the fight, the gate was $80 million although that has not been confirmed.
Payout Perspective:
The huge ticket prices were a deterrent for many to attend in person. Despite pricing many out of attending, one has to think that it comes close to a $72 million gate. It’s amazing that there is a market despite the negatives about the fight and the dud that was Mayweather-Pacquiao.
