The Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship between Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, holds the record highest-grossing event ever in Madison Square Garden history and New York state history at $11,425,494 on March 13, 1999. It also holds the record for the fastest sellout for a boxing event in MSG history.

It would be hard to beat Taylor Swift's time. Most of Swift's shows sold out within hours; her August 27, 2009, show at Madison Square Garden sold out in less than 1 minute after its availability.

In 1990, Andrew Dice Clay became the only comedian in history to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row. Justin Bieber claims the record for selling out Madison Square Garden the fastest of any artist. Two shows for his 2012 Believe tour sold out in 30 seconds. The prior fastest sellout record was Taylor Swift in 2009, when she sold out the venue in 60 seconds.
