Fans says it’s ‘gotta be a joke’ after luxury VIP packages go on sale for $2million to watch Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul
FANS have slammed the tickets for Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul after it was announced that one VIP package would cost a whopping $2million (£1.6m).
The cross-generation fight is taking place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas on July 20.
Fans have a keen eye on the highly anticipated event, but seemingly not enough to splash out millions of pounds.
Jake Paul‘s promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions, have announced a number of high-end VIP packages including the £1.6m ‘MVP Owner’s Package’.
The incredible package will offer “unparalleled seats, access and amenities during fight week and on fight night”.
Those who are willing to fork out the cash for the insane package will bag themselves two ringside apron seats (owner’s seats), four first row floor seats, and four second row floor seats for the event.
And the boxing superfan who does buy the package won’t just have a great view of the fight, but also the weigh in.
Paul’s MVP company revealed that the purchaser of the ticket will get a place ON STAGE for the fight’s weigh in.
The fans won’t have to worry about finding somewhere to stay in Texas either with a two-night stay in the luxury fight hotel also included in the eye-watering price.
Fans couldn’t believe the £1.6m price tag, regardless of what was included, and took to social media to slam the extortionate experience.
