Canelo vs. Jacobs Generated Nearly $9 Million at Live Gate
Posted: 14 May 2019, 11:19
The event generated a live gate of $8,685,750 from 15,730 tickets sold, according to final receipts submitted to the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Another 1,388 complimentary tickets were issued for the event, accounting for a total of 17,088 in attendance. The final figure falls more than 3,000 short of the announced crowd of 20,203 on fight night.
It's the best-selling live gate in 2019, exceeding the $6 million in ticket sales generated for Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner.
The final figures represent his lowest-performing night at the box office since his win over Amir Khan.
Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez generated a live gate of $12,470,200 from 10,198 tickets sold.
-------------------------------
The May 4 event lands 34th on Vegas’ all-time list, falling just short of Pacquiao’s 2nd round knockout of Ricky Hatton in May 2009 ($8.83 million) but eclipsing Pacquiao’s 12-round win over Timothy Bradley in their April 2014 rematch ($7.87 million).
In his 10 headlining bouts in Las Vegas, Alvarez has now generated nearly $124 million just at the live gate alone, owning six of the 36 highest grossing events in the town’s history.
His five appearances at T-Mobile Arena have grossed $78 million in ticket sales, not to mention the amount of revenue generated through sponsorship and circuit viewing.
