Ryan Garcia-Luke Campbell Lightweight Clash Generates $353,835 Live Gate From 4,218 Tickets Sold
There was never a concern over whether Ryan Garcia could draw a crowd outside of his home region.
The question was always how many fans would be allowed to attend such an occasion given social distancing measures and health guidelines during a pandemic.
Garcia's off-the-canvas 7th round knockout win over England’s Luke Campbell topped a Jan. 2nd DAZN show, live from American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The event produced a live gate of $353,835 from 4,218 tickets sold according to the final tax invoice provided by Golden Boy Promotions to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), a copy of which has been obtained by BS.com.
Tickets were sold at just five available price points, ranging from $35-$200.
The event sold virtually every ticket made available for a venue which carries a maximum seating capacity of 18.256, which includes obstructed views. Social distancing only permitted Golden Boy Promotions to make 25% of the inventory available to the public, before securing a handful of “kill” seats to accommodate fight week demand.
In addition to the 4,218 tickets sold, another 534 complimentary tickets were issued or at least identified as such according to the manifest. More than half of that total were assigned to the broadcasters, production team, media and essential personnel on the promotion.
