The highest documented U.S. boxing gate is Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao: $72,198,500 in nominal ticket receipts in 2015, according to figures attributed to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The next-largest documented gate is Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor at $55,414,865.79 in 2017. In September 2025, Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Álvarez generated a reported $47.23 million gate, making it the third-largest in boxing history and the record for Las Vegas. A complete, current all-U.S. top ten is not established by the available reporting, so the ranking below identifies its scope rather than presenting an outdated Las Vegas list as a national one.
What counts as a boxing gate?
A gate is the gross revenue from tickets sold at the venue. It is not the same as attendance, pay-per-view revenue, broadcast income, or a fighter’s purse. Gate figures are usually nominal dollars as reported for the event; they are not automatically adjusted for inflation.
Those distinctions matter: a fight with fewer spectators can produce a larger gate if its tickets cost more. A fair comparison should identify the revenue measure, geographic scope, and whether a figure reflects ticket sales alone or includes other receipts.
The largest documented U.S. gates
The following are the ten entries in a Las Vegas table attributed to the Nevada State Athletic Commission and published before the September 2025 Crawford–Álvarez fight. They are nominal reported gates, not inflation-adjusted figures. This is a historical Las Vegas reference list, not a current all-U.S. ranking.

- 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.

These figures are reproduced in a commission-attributed Las Vegas table; ESPN separately reported commission figures for several of the events, including Mayweather–Pacquiao, Mayweather–McGregor, Canelo–Golovkin I, and Mayweather–Álvarez. The reported numbers show why gate rank does not simply measure crowd size: ESPN reported 16,219 tickets sold for Mayweather–Pacquiao, 13,094 for Mayweather–McGregor, 17,318 for Canelo–Golovkin I, and 16,146 for Mayweather–Álvarez.

How the 2025 Crawford–Álvarez fight changed the list
On September 13, 2025, Crawford–Álvarez at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada produced a reported $47.23 million gate and announced attendance of 70,482, according to the Associated Press. The AP described it as the Las Vegas gate and attendance record; contemporary coverage also placed its gate third in boxing history, behind Mayweather–Pacquiao and Mayweather–McGregor. That puts it above Canelo–Golovkin I, which older Las Vegas lists had placed third. Associated Press report on Crawford–Álvarez Field Level Media report

The 2025 report establishes the event’s place among the leading gates, but it does not supply a complete current ranking of the ten biggest gates across every U.S. venue. Consequently, the older ten-event table should not be read as a current national top ten, and missing national positions should not be filled with attendance figures or estimates.
Biggest gate is not the same as biggest crowd
Guinness World Records lists Tony Zale vs. Billy Pryor, held at Juneau Park in Milwaukee on August 16, 1941, as the largest attendance at a boxing match: 135,132 people. That is an attendance record, not a gate-revenue record. Guinness notes that records may not be published online immediately. Guinness World Records attendance record

For Las Vegas, the AP reported that Crawford–Álvarez’s announced 70,482 attendance surpassed the previous fight attendance record there: 29,214 at Larry Holmes vs. Gerry Cooney in 1982 at a temporary Caesars Palace outdoor venue. The comparison is about attendance at the venue, not ticket revenue.

Why older gate figures can be hard to compare
Historical reporting may use “receipts” to mean more than tickets sold at the venue. In a 1971 retrospective, TIME noted that some totals from 1955 onward included radio and closed-circuit television coverage receipts. Those broader totals are not directly comparable to a modern live gate unless the accounting basis is known. TIME’s 1971 retrospective

- Metric: venue ticket revenue, rather than attendance, broadcast receipts, or purses.
- Scope: Las Vegas, another venue or city, or all U.S. events.
- Ticket basis: tickets sold versus total attendance, which can include people not counted as paid ticket buyers.
- Accounting: whether the number includes only live ticket sales or also radio, closed-circuit, or other revenue.
- Dollar basis: nominal reported dollars or an explicitly calculated inflation-adjusted amount.
The strongest current conclusion is that Mayweather–Pacquiao remains the documented leader, Mayweather–McGregor is second, and Crawford–Álvarez is third by reported gate. The sources cited here do not establish a complete all-time top ten across all U.S. venues.
