Mayweather–McGregor is second at $55,414,865.79, and Canelo–Crawford is third at $47,231,887. Those three figures have strong reporting behind them; the lower places are not a verified all-time top ten because the available reports mix commission figures with promoter, venue, and media-reported amounts.
What a fight “gate” measures
A gate is the gross revenue from tickets sold for a live event. It is not the event’s total revenue, a fighter’s earnings, or its profit. Pay-per-view and streaming sales, sponsorships, merchandise, and the event’s wider local economic impact are separate measures.
Gate and attendance are also different. A large crowd does not necessarily mean a larger gate: ticket prices and the number of paid tickets affect receipts, while announced attendance may include people who did not buy a ticket. The figures below retain each source’s description, such as “tickets sold” or “announced attendance,” rather than treating those measures as interchangeable.
The three best-supported leading gates
| Rank | Event | Date and venue | Reported gate | Ticket or attendance figure | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao (boxing) | May 2, 2015; MGM Grand Garden Arena | $72,198,500 | 16,219 tickets sold | ESPN reported figures attributed to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. |
| 2 | Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor (boxing) | August 26, 2017; venue not stated in the cited ESPN report | $55,414,865.79 | 13,094 tickets sold | ESPN reported figures attributed to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. |
| 3 | Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford (boxing) | September 13, 2025; Allegiant Stadium | $47,231,887 | 70,482 announced attendance | Sports Business Journal reported the gate and announced attendance; Associated Press reported the gate rounded to $47.23 million and the same crowd figure. |
These are nominal dollar amounts: they are not adjusted for inflation. Mayweather–Pacquiao is the largest gate in this set of well-documented figures, not proof that it was the most watched, most profitable, or commercially largest combat-sports event by every measure.
#1 Best Overall
- EFFECTIVE IMPACT DISPERSION – Are your training gloves affecting your accuracy? The RDX gloves dissipate the force of impact across the specially made, pre-curved anatomical structure of the sparring gloves due to the presence of Quadro Dome 3 padding, which uses EVA foam and SpongeX sheet. This results in a comfortable training experience for the users of the RDX heavy boxing gloves.
- PATENT PENDING LOMA TECH DESIGN – Do you face trouble forming the perfect fist, while using boxing gloves ? RDX gloves feature a PATENT PENDING single seamless LOMA Tech design used in the palm area and thumb of the boxing gloves. This helps create an improved alignment between the fist and thumb and along with an especially designed attached thumb allows the trainees to form the perfect fist and punch better with the training gloves.
- EXCEPTIONALLY DURABLE MATERIAL – No matter how hard you punch these gloves make sure to outlast your intense training. The use of advanced caliber Maya Hide ConvEX Skin Leather in the KARA Series training gloves makes them durable and reliable for long-term use while also providing a superior look and feel during Boxing, Muay Thai, MMA, Kickboxing, and heavy bag training sessions among other similar sports.
- FULL WRAPAROUND WRIST SUPPORT – A hassle-free design with sufficient support for your wrists. The hook and loop Fastener straps provide a secure fit and make it easy to put on or take off the kickboxing gloves for men and women along with providing better wrist support due to the full wraparound wrist strap, while the dual stitching in the heavy bag gloves makes them durable and resilient for extensive training sessions.
- SWEAT-FREE EXPERIENCE – Bid farewell to those sweaty palms and hands. With multiple ventilation holes strategically placed in the thumb sections of the lightweight boxing gloves, RDX ensures proper airflow management so that its customers get a sweat-free experience. Furthermore, the advanced perforated sheet for breathable ventilation in the palm area is sweat-wicking and minimizes sweat accumulation.
Other major reported gates—not a verified all-time ranking
The following reports identify additional substantial gates, but they do not all use the same reporting basis. The table sorts the reported amounts from largest to smallest; it should not be read as a commission-reconciled ranking of the ten biggest events in U.S. history. The available figures also establish only nine events, not a complete top ten.
| Reported amount order | Event | Date and location | Reported gate | Tickets or attendance | Source and qualification |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin I (boxing) | 2017; venue and city not stated in the cited report | $27,059,850 | 17,318 tickets sold | ESPN reported figures attributed to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. |
| 2 | UFC 329 (MMA) | 2026; location not stated in the cited report | Approximately $25 million | Not stated in the cited report | MMA Fighting reported a statement by UFC CEO Dana White; the amount is approximate and promotion-reported, pending commission confirmation. |
| 3 | UFC 306 (MMA) | 2024; venue and city not stated in the cited announcement | $22 million | 16,024 attendance | UFC and Sphere Entertainment announced the figures. |
| 4 | Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson (boxing) | 2024; Arlington, Texas | $18.1 million | About 72,000 fans | Associated Press reported the gate figure from Most Valuable Promotions and described the crowd as about 72,000. |
| 5 | UFC 205 (MMA) | Date and location not stated in the cited report | $17.7 million | 20,427 attendees | Reported by the cited secondary coverage; the available figure is not identified here as a commission-reconciled result. |
| 6 | UFC 229 (MMA) | Date and location not stated in the cited report | $17,188,894 | 20,034 attendees | Reported by the cited secondary coverage; the available figure is not identified here as a commission-reconciled result. |
Do not compare the attendance column as if every entry counted paid tickets. For example, the Mayweather bouts and Canelo–Golovkin figure are stated as tickets sold, while the Canelo–Crawford and UFC 306 figures are announced attendance. The Paul–Tyson report gives an approximate crowd figure and attributes its gate to the promoter.

Why a strict “top 10” claim needs more evidence
A defensible all-time ranking needs comparable gross ticket receipts for every candidate, ideally reconciled against the relevant athletic commission’s records. Some published figures are exact commission-attributed receipts; others are rounded, approximate, or announced by a promotion or venue. A list that simply sorts those numbers would imply a degree of comparability and completeness that the reports do not establish.
There is also no inflation adjustment in the ranking above. Adjusting older gates would require choosing a method and base date, and the result would be a separate comparison from nominal ticket receipts. The dollar amounts here therefore answer the narrower question: what gates were reported, in nominal dollars, for these named events?

What the records say about demand
The figures show why both revenue and crowd size matter. Mayweather–Pacquiao led this set in reported gate despite having fewer reported tickets sold than Canelo–Crawford’s announced attendance. That is not a like-for-like ticket-price comparison, because the figures describe different measures; it does show why the largest crowd and largest gate need not be the same event.
Gate is useful for comparing live ticket receipts, but it cannot by itself establish total viewership, total event revenue, fighter compensation, or profitability. Those questions require separate evidence about broadcast sales, costs, and other revenue streams.
