The turnout for Combs trounced Super Bowl 58, which had 61,629 people packed into Allegiant Stadium in February 2024. Other headliners of the stadium he left in the dust include Morgan Wallen, the Rolling Stones, and even Taylor Swift.

However, Combs performed in the round, unlike the other events mentioned, which maximizes available tickets. However, the Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight last September was also performed in the round, and Combs also beat its draw of 70,482.
