UFC 88 Attendance & Gate Numbers

MMA Junkie reports on the official gate and attendance of UFC 88:

Saturday's UFC 88 event, which took place at Philips Arena in Atlanta, earned a $2.6 million gate according to UFC President Dana White.
White confirmed the numbers in a post-UFC 88 press conference.
The amount scored as the second-highest total in the nine-year history of the arena -- narrowly falling short of the amount earned by a 2006 Barbara Streisand concert. White was jovial about falling short of the record mark, stating that he "wants a rematch with Barbara."
Additionally, White said the official attendance for Saturday's pay-per-view event was 14,736. The near-capacity crowd was a positive sign for the organization, and White said the UFC would likely return to Atlanta in the future.
