As Mike Tyson and Jake Paul prepare to take to the ring on Friday night, promoters for the controversial fight have had some positive news. Tickets for the clash between the 58-year-old Tyson and 27-year-old Paul haven’t exactly proved to be in huge demand in recent weeks, but a buyer has reportedly been found for the top ticket package available for the bout – costing a massive $2 million!
Michael Benson of talkSPORT tweeted on Thursday to confirm that the package had been snapped up ahead of the fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas – and it appears to have been sold to a Los Angeles-based law firm. Per USA Today, the ticket – known as the MVP Owner’s Experience – has been bought by TorkLaw – a US-based firm who specialise in personal injury claims.
The ticket – which was always likely to be well beyond the reach of your casual boxing fan – actually entitles TorkLaw to a total of 10 premium seats. However, only two of those seats will be housed within a specially-built suite housed directly outside the ring. The exclusive viewing arena is set to be visible on the Netflix broadcast of the fight and is “the closest fan seating that has been historically approved by Texas boxing regulators.”

Those who are part of the TorkLaw party, but not fortunate enough to sit in the ringside suite will still have seats close to the action – either in the first or second row. It’s not just premium seating that ticketholders will enjoy, though.
Dressing room meet and greets with both Tyson and Paul are included, as well as a post-fight photo in the ring that the fighters will do battle in. In addition, TorkLaw representatives will receive a personal car service, security and penthouse accomodation at the Loews Arlington Hotel. A first-class food and beverage service is also available, while the company will also receive a variety of signed items from both fighters.
It sounds like a truly spectacular experience, but we’re not sure that any ticket package could justify such a lofty price tag.

Organisers may have been successful in finding a buyer for their top-priced VIP package, but ticket sales as a whole for the fight have reportedly been slower than expected. As of last week, seats were freely available for the event at around $30 online (or roughly 66,667 times that amount paid by TorkLaw!)
While the live event may not be sold out, millions of fans are expected to enjoy the action on Netflix, as the streaming giant will broadcast the bout to all of its subscribers without the need for any additional pay-per-view purchase.
