Mike Tyson - Jake Paul Fight Offering $2 Million VIP Package
We are less than two months away from the upcoming Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson boxing match and the hype hasn't lessened a single punch for the July 20th event at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
The fight - which shocked the sports world when it was announced literally out of nowhere, has the potential to be one of the most watched boxing matches in decades. Netflix will exclusively broadcast the fight for free as the streaming platform looks to establish itself in the sports broadcasting conversation.
The match is expected to be the most bet on fight event of the year, and ticket prices are soaring.
And now, for the nice, cool price of $2 million, you can purchase a once-in-a-lifetime VIP experience as well!
VIP PACKAGES BEING SOLD FOR $2 MILLION
The insane offer shows just how much intrigue this fight is bringing.
The $2 million package will include a total of 10 tickets: two ringside apron seats, four front row seats, four second row seats. The VIP's will have an "exclusive stadium arrival", which I assume means you don't have to wait in traffic, as well as your own private green room stocked with top shelf liquor and unlimited food.
If that wasn't enough, you'll also be able to get a pre-fight photo with Tyson and Paul in their locker rooms, a pair of signed boxing gloves from both fighters, and be on stage for the weigh-in, among other perks.
Why do I feel like some TikTok influencer is going to be the one to bid on it?
Regardless, AT&T Stadium wouldn't offer the deal if they didn't believe they could sell it, which brings us to the overall intrigue of the entire event in the first place.
MIKE TYSON HAS BEEN TRAINING HARD
Paul vs Tyson is brilliant when you think about it. People are going to tune in just to see what's going to happen. Can the 58-year-old Tyson hold his own against Jake Paul? Which fighter has more to lose should they end up on the wrong side of the judge's scorecard? Mike Tyson has already started posting videos of his sparring sessions and the guy looks good… really good.
The fight will be sanctioned as a professional bout and will be 8 rounds at 2 minutes each. The last time Tyson fought in an exhibition was in 2020, while his last professional fight was in 2005. Meanwhile, after a slew of pseudo-fights that pit him against the likes of MMA fighters with no boxing experience, Jake Paul has started boxing "real boxers" and has a record of 9-1 with 6 KOs.
Unfortunately, I don't have $2 million readily available right now. And I sure as hell would never spend it on anything Jake Paul related.
So I'll opt for watching it at a bar or at a house with my buddies - as will tens of millions of other people across the country and beyond. All hoping for Mike Tyson to just connect on a right hook, because that's all it may take for the fight to be over!
