Someone has actually bought that $2million (£1.6million) ticket for the Jake Paul v Mike Tyson fight.
Yep, ahead of the big face-off tomorrow (15 November) night – well, the early hours of Saturday morning for us UK lot – a special VIP ticket has apparently been sold.
The big boxing event is of course getting live streamed on Netflix, with subscribers being able to watch it without paying an additional PPV fee.
But plenty of people are still heading out to watch in person as Paul faces Tyson at the 60,000 capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
And that now seems to include someone whose splashed the millions on this top-end ticket that includes six seats.
What’s included in the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul VIP package?
The package comes with a special pre-fight locker room visit plus a unrivalled view in a ‘specially built ringside suite’. Two of the six ticket holders will get a unique experience, sitting elevated above the rest of the crowd.
But get this, early renders show that the fans in this kind of private booth attached to the ring won’t necessarily be watching the action right in front of them straight-up. Oh no, they’ll be watching it splashed on a TV screen in front of them. While they’re in there, they’ll be provided with the ‘top-shelf’ food and drinks on tap as they lounge back on recliners.
Sorry, I mean, you can’t tell me I couldn’t just create this same feeling from the comfort of my own home, pulling up my comfy sofa in front of the telly and laying out a buffet?
But whatever, this special package does come with a whole load of other fancy perks like getting a set of autographed boxing gloves from the main men of the night. They’ll even have a personal escort throughout the event plus a two-night stay at the Loews Arlington Hotel.
Oh, and of course, the package comes with the standard stuff, like you know, access to every bit of the pre-fight stuff from press conferences to the weigh-ins.
The other four ticket-holders not getting to sit in the ‘Ringside Apron Seats’ will instead be in Row 1 ringside seats.
Who bought the $2M Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul VIP package?
It’s finally happening.
It was announced yesterday that this whopping MVP Owner’s Experience was purchased by Los Angeles-based law firm, TorkLaw.
Korosh Torkzadeh, from TorkLaw, told USA TODAY Sports: “Life and sport often reflect each other in their unpredictability. At TorkLaw, as we spend our days fighting for our clients both inside and outside the courtroom, we see in boxing the same determination required to face life’s toughest battles.
“Our involvement in this event is more than just support for sport — it’s a celebration of the human spirit and the strength it takes to keep fighting, no matter the odds.”
Well, good for them.
Before they watch the big event on fight night, they’ll also get access to a Private VIP Green Room with an open bar and all-inclusive menu.
The undercard will begin at 8pm eastern time (ET) on Friday, which is 1am GMT on Saturday for UK viewers.
