Detailed event budget · $193,545
| Category | Budget |
|---|---|
| Venue & facility | $38,000 |
| Boxing operations | $14,400 |
| VIP / elite hospitality | $18,000 |
| Concessions | $10,250 |
| Entertainment & production | $25,300 |
| Security & parking | $7,000 |
| Medical | $6,000 |
| Interior décor | $12,000 |

| Subtotal | $175,950 |
| 10% contingency | $17,595 |
| Total | $193,545 |
Event estimate notes: The earlier officials subtotal of $5,500 is not explicitly included in the final $14,400 boxing-operations line. Marketing detail totals $47,000, but the final summary uses $45,000. The VIP detail is $16,000, rounded up to $18,000 in the summary. These figures should be reconciled before final commitments.
Sample gross revenue scenario · $295,500
| Source | Projection |
|---|---|
| General admission tickets | $112,500 |
| VIP tickets / packages | $10,500 |
| Sponsorships | $100,000 |
| Concessions | $45,000 |
| Merchandise | $12,500 |
| Donations | $15,000 |
The sample $295,500 gross revenue less the $195,000 working budget yields a potential $100,500 surplus before any unaccounted taxes, fees, and direct costs. Confirm whether the VIP seats are separate from the general-admission count before treating the ticket lines as additive.
Illustrative break-even calculation
$195,000 working budget − $100,000 assumed sponsorship = $95,000 remaining. At $50 realized revenue per ticket, that equals 1,900 paid admissions. This is a simplified scenario, not a guaranteed break-even point.
Marketing & community reach
Planned outreach, not measured results or confirmed media partnerships.
| Channel | Projected activity |
|---|---|
| 125,000 impressions | |
| 95,000 impressions | |
| TikTok | 250,000 views |
| YouTube | 40,000 views |
| Google Ads | 30,000 impressions |
| Email campaigns | 10,000 recipients |
The package describes an overall 550,000-person online outreach projection. The channel figures sum to 550,000 mixed impressions, views, and recipients; they do not establish 550,000 unique people.
Planned traditional outreach includes NBC 13, WBRC FOX 6, ABC 33/40, Birmingham News, AL.com, Birmingham Business Journal, local radio, and press conferences. These are outreach targets, not confirmed endorsements.
