Canelo Alvarez’s fight Saturday drew a gate of around $17M and about 650,000 PPV unit sales.

Some in boxing had questioned Alvarez’s choice of Berlanga as his opponent, but Brown and Binkow were effusive in their praise of Berlanga, saying he and his managerial team had done everything they had asked to promote the fight. The $17M gate for Alvarez-Berlanga compares to what UFC said was $22M for its card at the Sphere, meaning combat sports sold nearly $40M in tickets this past weekend in Las Vegas. Brown: “Commercially, it’s probably panned out better than we thought.”
