Hooker vs Ramirez (7/27/19) Arlington, Texas
Sold = 2,309
Comp = 2,298
Live Gate = $252,986
TV Contract = 30,000
So in Texas you still get taxed on comp tickets given away, but at a lower rate. From the tickets sold, this fight did $138,794.79 and the rest came from the comp tickets minus 25%.
This is why when you guys see numbers from a Fury fight of only 5,000 tickets sold, don't think it was all that bad since the gate was at almost 900k. Lomachenko had the same thing last fight and his live gate was like around 500k.
