Netflix announced that the bout between Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and Terence Crawford, held last Saturday as part of Riyadh Season 2025, attracted more than 41 million global viewers, making it the most-watched boxing match of this century.

This milestone came on a remarkable night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where more than 70,000 fans packed the stands — the largest crowd in U.S. boxing history inside an indoor venue. Ticket sales generated $47,231,887, setting a record for the highest single-day revenue and the largest attendance in the stadium’s history.

The historic fight ended with American Terence Crawford defeating Mexican Canelo Álvarez by unanimous decision, making Crawford the first boxer in history to become undisputed champion in three different weight divisions, adding to his record an extraordinary achievement that reinforced his status as one of the greatest boxers of his generation.

The event featured an unprecedented global production, with more than 1,200 staff involved in operations and broadcasting, using 55 cameras to cover the fight from every angle — making it the largest sporting production ever executed.

With this, Riyadh Season once again affirmed its prominent global presence by staging some of the world’s biggest sporting and entertainment spectacles, on a night hailed as the “Fight of the Century” and marked as a milestone in modern boxing history.
