Las Vegas lived up to its Fight Town USA reputation as attendance was announced at 19,990 — a sellout at T-Mobile Arena where Terence Crawford knocked down Errol Spence Jr. in a monster boxing match.

It was an electric night on the Las Vegas sports landscape as sport and entertainment produced a spectacle boxing match between two elite boxers in the sport’s glamour division, the welterweight category that has produced boxing’s biggest names like Leonard, Duran, Hearns and Mayweather.

Our look at the business of the fight.
