PBC’s PPV event featuring Gervonta Davis and Hector Luis Garcia set a record for the DC-area arena with $5.185 million in ticket revenue per a Sports Business Journal report. The event was a sell out with 19,731 in attendance.
Davis defeated Garcia after he was unable to answer the bell in the 8th round. The event aired on Showtime PPV.
Close to his hometown of Baltimore, many showed up in support of Davis. But, Davis’ appeal among boxing fans is much more than the east coast as he drew 15,580 for his December 2021 fight against Isaac Cruz. That fight drew $3.7 million in ticket revenue.
Despite Davis’ past legal troubles including a domestic violence charge in late December which was quickly rectified, he is one of boxing’s biggest stars. At 28 years old, he could be the next boxing PPV star for the support. He is rumored to fight Ryan Garcia later this year which is expected to be a monumental fight on PPV.
