More than $21,000,000 in ticket sales were generated from the July 29 Showtime Pay-Per-View event from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, according to a report from the always reliable Sports Business Journal. The show drew an announced crowd of 19,900, which saw Crawford (40-0, 31KOs) become the first male boxer in the four-belt era to claim undisputed championship status in two weight divisions following his ninth-round stoppage of Spence.
The figure is by far the highest gate produced by either boxer, and the second largest box-office haul among all boxing events in 2023. Only the Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia superfight did bigger business on the year. Their April 22 event—also at T-Mobile Arena—produced an estimated $22.8 million in ticket sales and more than $100,000,000 in revenue from a reported 1.2 million PPV units sold.
