Mayweather-Alvarez Bout Results In Record Gate For Nevada

Nevada regulators today said that Saturday's Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Canelo Alvarez fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas "drew the biggest gate ever" in the state. The Nevada Athletic Commission said that 16,146 tickets sold for just over $20M total, for an average of almost $1,240 per ticket. NAC Exec Dir Keith Kizer said that the fight eclipsed the $18.4M earned from 17,000 tickets for the Mayweather-Oscar De La Hoya bout in '07 at the same venue (AP, 9/19).
