The data is broken down by Searches (S), Attendance (A), Purse (P), and Final Score (FS):

FS: 9
How did they come up with those numbers?
“Search volume, attendance and purse data were collected from Google Keyword Planner, the World Boxing Association website and major sports publications,” according to the report. “These metrics were weighted and indexed to rank the year’s biggest fights from largest to smallest. Where figures were not publicly available, values may be estimates and may not reflect real life.”
