    The big K-1 (kickboxing) events would sell 60,000-80,000 seats every year in Japan in the early 2000s, shame it fell apart

      In recent memory, nothing comes close. Hatton v Lazcano did 50k+, Wlad/Haye was big but still, nothing close.

        I'm pretty sure Klitschko-Chagaev did 60,000 or so.

            Tony Zale vs. Billy Pryor at Juneau Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, in 1941 - 135,000
            Max Schmeling vs. Walter Neusel at Sandbahn Lokstedt, Hamburg, Germany, in 1938 - 100,000
            Len Harvey vs. Jock McAvoy at White City, UK, in 1939 - 90,000
            Len Harvey vs. Jack Peterson at White City, UK, in 1934 - 90,000

            dempsey did crazy numbers at the gate a well.

            85 in new york against firpo
            120 against tunney
            well over 100K against carpentier




            dempsey vs tunney actually did a two million dollar gate in the "long count" fight.

              what was the total gate from froch - groves?



              you guys understand that maywqweather - pacquiao could sell out a larger stadium if the tickets weren't so expensive, right? there's a reason that these fights are at major vegas casinos. some of the wealthiest people in the world go to these fights, and lose money at the casinos.
