UFC 141 officially draws 13,793 attendance for $3.1 million live gate
This past month's UFC 141 event officially drew an attendance of 13,793 and a live gate of $3,101,000.
Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer today emailed the figures to MMAjunkie.com.
UFC 141 took place Dec. 30 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and featured former Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem earning a first-round TKO finish of former UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar in the pay-per-view headliner.
Officials initially announced an estimated attendance of 12,158 and a live gate of $3.1 million. According to the NSAC, only 137 tickets went unsold. The average paid ticket price was $238.54.
The figures fell well short of the MGM Grand Garden Arena's top-five UFC attendance and live-gate figures. However, in live-gate terms, the show greatly outperformed UFC 125, which took place early in 2011 and drew just $2,174,780.
