What 10 Fight Fans Can Get for $2 Million

The Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight on Nov. 15 in Arlington, Texas, is approaching and plenty of seats are available despite Paul’s claims that 90,000 people will exceed AT&T Stadium’s capacity.

According to USA Today in a report published Saturdaya sellout is tens of thousands of tickets away.

“At that point the crowd would fill Dodger Stadium and be the largest crowd ever to see a Tyson fight,” Joann Mignano, the boxer’s publicist, told USA TODAY Sports via text message Saturday.

Dodger Stadium has a capacity of 56,000. The Dallas Cowboys’ home stadium, AT&T Stadium, seats 80,000. Tickets for Tyson-Paul and its undercard were available for as little as $37 on SeatGeek Sunday afternoon.

There is a seat option for the fight and its undercard that will be difficult for the average fight fan (or YouTube enthusiast) to afford, nevertheless, it exists. For $2 million, big spenders can get ringside seats for Tyson vs. Paul.

The “MVP Owner’s Experience” package accommodates two people in a private suite within six feet of the ring and has been approved by Texas boxing regulators, according to Elevate, a consulting firm involved in ticket sales for Tyson vs. Paul.

Package includes four first row seats, four second row seats, premium leather in-suite seating, exclusive stadium arrival experience, overnight security and escort, locker room photo before the fight with Tyson and Paul, signed gloves. by both fighters, a private “green” room with full bar and all-inclusive food menu and a post-fight photo session inside the ring.

Two nights of luxury accommodation are also included in the MVP package, as well as a spot on stage at the pre-fight weigh-in the day before the fight.

Other VIP packages are on sale for between $5,000 and $20,000.

Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, which led the fight, said in May that there had been 120,000 ticket pre-sale registrations and that MVP predicted tickets and VIP packages would sell out quickly.

Apparently that didn’t happen. Seats appear to be available throughout AT&T Stadium less than two weeks after the fight.
