The largest outdoor boxing attendance record was set on Feb 20, 1993 in Mexico City. A reported 136 274 spectators filled Estadio Azteca to watch a then unbeaten Julio César Chávez against Greg Haugen in a WBC Light Welterweight title match.

The largest indoor attendance was in 1978 when Muhammad Ali fought Leon Spinks in at the Louisiana Superdome. That crowd was 63 315.

From the NY Times. September 10, 1993.

7000, it all depends on the fighter, nonito donaire, Andre Berto, and Chad dawson for example, are all very talented fighters, but are not regionally known, because not only do they not have a regional following, Dawson being from conneticut, berto from Florida and donaire from San leandro ca, they just don't genarate the same interest fighters like mayweather and pacquiao do. Boxing is first and formost about compition, these for don't genarte the same kind of buzz that people want to see, Chad Dawson and Andre ward (WBA super middleweight champion) can probably bring 7000-8500 to the oracle arena in Oakland, while a more popular regional fighter like Lucian bute(IBF supermiddleweight champ) can fill the bell centre in Montreal with 16,000-18,000 screaming fans, it's about what the people want to see, the average boxer can see about 5000 fans luckly, the more empersive you are to the people, the more people want to pay to watch you fight. Mayweather changed his whole persona to put 4000 more butts in seats, just to hope to see him lose.
