Terence Crawford made a mark for himself Saturday by becoming the first undisputed three-division champion in modern boxing history, but that wasn't the only record set that night in Las Vegas.

The attendance at Allegiant Stadium for the bout between Crawford and the sport's biggest star, Mexico's Canelo Alvarez, was tallied at 70,482, making it the largest crowd to ever watch a boxing match in Sin City. By a very wide margin.

The previous record was set in 1982 when Larry Holmes fought Gerry Cooney in a temporary outdoor arena at Caesars Palace. The crowd for that bout was 29,214.

The Crawford-Alvarez fight also was the largest crowd for any event at the 5-year-old stadium. With a reported gate of $47.2 million, it was the highest-grossing single-day event ever at Allegiant.

The audience at the Saturday match, in which Crawford (42-0) reached boxing immortality with a dominant victory by unanimous decision over Alvarez (63-3-2), surpassed the Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks II bout in 1978 to become the second-largest audience for an indoor boxing match in the U.S.

The TKO victory by Alvarez over Billy Joe Saunders set the attendance record with 73,126 people at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in May 2021.

On Saturday, the judges' scorecards read 116-112, 115-113, 115-113, as the 37-year-old Crawford won the undisputed super middleweight world championship to add to his undisputed junior welterweight and welterweight titles.
