UFC President Dana White stated that interest in the championship clash between American Terence Crawford and Mexican Saul "Canelo" Alvarez has been unprecedented. According to him, ticket sales for this super-fight, scheduled for September 14th in Las Vegas, marked the third-highest number in boxing history.
"This clash has risen to third place in boxing history in terms of ticket revenue. "This is truly amazing and incredible," White said in an interview with KSNV News 3 Las Vegas.
For information, the absolute record belongs to the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight. In 2015, $72.2 million in revenue was earned from this famous clash. Second place went to the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor, which went down in history with a revenue of $55.4 million.
Thus, the Canelo-Croford fight was recorded as a historic event in the boxing world even before its start. Experts and fans are eagerly awaiting the new page to be written in the Las Vegas ring on September 14th.
