The Terence Crawford-Errol Spence fight this past Saturday night drew a gate of more than $21 million with a sell-out of 19,990 fans at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas per Adam Stern of SBJ.
In comparison, Stern points out that the Tank Davis-Ryan Garcia fight drew a gate of $22.8 million in the same venue this past May.

The two main events that drew larger than Crawford-Spence was Conor-Khabib and Conor-Dustin III.
The gate for Crawford-Spence and Davis-Garcia show the strength of boxing and good matchmaking. PBC is on a hot streak right now and certainly putting together strong matchups will bring out the fans. Not only does it show a strong gate, but it bolsters the tourism industry in Vegas as many people fly to see these matchups.
