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

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.
