Saturday's megafight at T-Mobile Arena between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia produced about $22.8 million in ticket sales at eviction, sources included with the promotion told the Review-Journal.

The overall is the fifth-highest in Nevada boxing history, trailing megafights between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in 2015 ($72.2 million), Mayweather and Conor McGregor ($55.4 million) in 2017 and Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin ($27 million for their first fight in 2017 and $24.5 million for their 2nd in 2018).

Davis (29-0, 27 knockouts) beat Garcia (23-1, 19 KOs) via seventh-round knockout in the 136-pound catchweight fight, landing a short left to the liver that required referee Thomas Taylor's 10-count.
