According to ESPN, on his final NBA game, Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant broke Led Zeppelin’s merchandise record for single-day sales for any arena in the world.
The Staples Center sold $1.2 million worth of Kobe merchandise, Sean Ryan, AEG vice president of merchandise told ESPN.
The previous record, Ryan said, was set by Led Zeppelin, who sold $1 million worth of merchandise in London at the O2 Arena on December 10, 2007, the group's first full-length concert in three decades.
The average fan inside the arena spent $61 on merchandise alone, with the average bill being $230, Ryan said.
