Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson tickets are currently on sale, with one package costing a stunning $2million (£1.6million).
The November 15 fight at the $1.3billion AT&T Stadium in Texas will be an officially sanctioned professional heavyweight bout and go on both men’s official boxing records.
Paul’s promotional company Most Valuable Promotions are offering various VIP packages, including a brand-new exclusive $2million package called the ‘MVP Owner’s Experience’.
There are four tiers of VIP packages for the fight – the Contender Package, Champion Package, Ringside VVIP Package, and the MVP Owner’s Experience.
According to MVP’s press release, the MVP Owner’s Experience package ‘will offer unparalleled seats, access and amenities during fight week and on fight night’.
They state: “The $2million experience is anchored by two ringside apron seats (owner’s seats) that have never been offered in boxing before, as well as four first row floor seats, and four second row floor seats for the event.
“The fight night experience includes an exclusive stadium arrival experience, security and escort during the night.
“It includes a pre-fight in locker room photo with each of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, gloves signed by both fighters, a private green room with a top shelf open bar and all-inclusive food menu, and a post-fight in-ring photo opportunity for the group.”
There are opportunities prior to the bout as well.
The press release continues: “Ahead of Saturday, MVP Owner’s Experience ticket holders will be provided exclusive access, accommodations, transportation, and premium gifts, including VIP lounge access and front row tickets to all of fight week events and activations, beginning Wednesday.
“This includes the opportunity to be on stage with fighters during the final Paul vs Tyson weigh-in on Friday.
“The MVP Owner’s Experience will also provide two-night luxury accommodations at the official fight hotel or similar luxury hotel option for 10 guests, featuring a penthouse suite for two, and four rooms to accommodate supplementary guests.
“Guests will additionally be provided with private luxury mini-coach transportation to and from events on Friday and Saturday.”
Paul’s MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian explained: “Paul vs. Tyson and Taylor vs Serrano 2 represents a once-in-a-lifetime cultural phenomenon, spanning six generations of fans, that warrants ticketing options for every fan.
“To enhance the fan experience even further we have partnered with Elevate to provide a selection of VIP packages, including a first-ever MVP Owner’s Experience, providing the most expansive and exclusive access to the action throughout fight week and fight night.
“With over 120,000 pre-sale signups, we anticipate that all tickets and VIP packages will sell out very quickly.”
On Wednesday, Tyson spoke to talkSPORT ahead of the fight.
“Whoever is in that ring has a problem with me,” he said. “If my mother stepped into the ring she has a problem with me. Don’t go in that ring if you don’t want that problem.”
That warning was chilling and a reminder to Paul and his fans what he is getting himself into. In his prime, he was the youngest ever heavyweight champion having torn through the heavyweight division in the 1980s.
In his heyday, his power was second to none and could often beat opponents before the first bell even rang.
Famously, the Hall of Famer once said that everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth and, asked what he expected when Paul felt his forced, the former undisputed heavyweight champion said: “I see him running around and I have to try and catch him and slaughter him.
“He’s a good little fighter but he’s only had ten fights which is considered as an amateur in our field.”
