The much-awaited professional boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington on July 20 has seen a significant cut in ticket prices. Initially pegged at high rates, top-tier seats have been reduced from $8,000 to $5,522, while the lowest-priced tickets have dropped to a mere $129 from $575.

AT&T Stadium is set to house this high-profile fight that boasts a formidable capacity of 80,000. Gametime recently announced these price reductions on their platform under Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson Tickets. This move comes amidst controversial claims that the fight might be scripted, which both fighters have outrightly denied.
Mike Tyson, aged 58 years old, is preparing rigorously for the bout by changing from a vegan diet to consuming raw meat and training three times daily. He has also banned sex and weed in his routine and embraced hypnosis for better focus. In contrast, 28-year-old Jake Paul has bulked up to 240 pounds but plans a weight cut before the fight.
Despite reduced ticket prices reflecting possibly lesser spectator interest than anticipated—compared to the pandemic-hit Canelo Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders fight in 2021 which managed over 73,000 attendees—the projected earnings are still towering with both Tyson and Paul expecting over $20 million each.
Furthermore, MVP offers an extravagant $2 million experience package which includes premium seating arrangements like ringside apron seats and exclusive amenities from private security to signed memorabilia by both fighters.
The competitive tension around this fight looms large due to other formidable matches in July featuring Jaron Ennis and Shakur Stevenson. Despite criticisms concerning its competitive integrity given Tyson's age and Paul's non-traditional entry into boxing, market responses will soon reveal the public's true sentiment towards this unusual pairing.
