The Nevada Athletic Commission has released the attendance and gate for the May 4th fight between Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The event was the sixth largest boxing event at the T-Mobile Arena with the top 5 involving Canelo. The other event, Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor had the largest gate with $55,414,865.79, drawing 13,094.
The other events included:
Canelo-GGG I, 9/16/17 – 17,318 for a gate of $27,059,850
Canelo-GGG II, 9/15/18 – 13,732 for a gate of $24,473,500
Mayweather-Canelo, 9/14/13 – 16,146 for a gate of $20,003,150
Canelo-Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr, 5/16/17 – 17,143 for a gate of $10,631,850
Canelo-Daniel Jacobs, 5/04/19 – 15,730 for a gate of $8,685,750
Also, of note, there were 1,388 comps for the event.
Payout Perspective:
While it might be the lowest gate of the Canelo events listed above, Canelo-Jacobs did draw more than the second GGG fight. Admittedly, the other fights on this list had more heat and drawing power. Not that Daniel Jacobs was not a worthy opponent for Canelo, but the others on this list already had a name many casual fans were aware of prior to the fight. JCC, Jr. rode his family lineage for his popularity and therefore the big attendance and gate for that fight.
