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 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.

Tonight’s the big night. The night two ‘legends’ take to the ring for the big fight that honestly feels like has been going on for decades at this point.

With a whole load of rules and fancy ticket packages being sold, the Jake Paul v Mike Tyson event this Friday night – well, the early hours of Saturday morning for us UK lot – is getting plenty of attention.

But fans just can’t get their heads around one of the official fight rules for the big boxing bout that will have a huge impact on the contest.

One of the rules for the Netflix event is that instead of the pair wearing the standard 10-ounce gloves worn for a heavyweight fight, they will be wearing 14-ounce gloves.

Basically, the heavier the glove is, then the more padding and the more shock absorbed by the glove – rather than the first and point of contact on the opposition fighter.

And people simply can’t understand why this would be put in place.

Plenty pointed out how this rule could benefit Paul and limit Tyson as one wrote: “Something that’s being overlooked in the upcoming Tyson and Paul fight is the 14oz gloves they’ll be using. I’m no boxer but larger gloves will limit Tyson’s power and give Paul a larger surface area to block with.

“They’ll also give an edge to Paul from an endurance standpoint—heavier gloves means you’ll tire more quickly with each punch. Not a fan of the rules in this one. It’s set up for Paul to outlast a 58-year-old man when the fight goes the distance.”

Another made the observation that legendary boxer Tyson’s KOs typically came wearing 10-ounce gloves.

“The biggest factor may be that they’ll be using 14oz gloves… Tyson got all of his knockouts with the 10oz,” one wrote. “Or it may be that Tyson is 58 & Paul is 27…”

Some just simply aren’t happy about the weird rule choice altogether, writing: “14-ounce gloves? So they’re just basically having a pillow fight?”

With another slamming: “14 oz is heavier than amateurs. 10 or 12 oz would’ve been great.”

Others speculate the rule has been put in place to make sure the ‘fight goes the distance’ and are disappointed that a knockout looks ‘very unlikely’.

The undercard will begin at 8pm eastern time (ET) on Friday, which is 1am GMT on Saturday for UK viewers. The event will be streamed live on Netflix.

Some fans trying to watch the build up to tonight’s huge bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have been left furious at streaming issues when trying to get the coverage up.

The face-off between Paul and Tyson has been eight months in the making, with boxing fans eager to see who will come out on top.

It is already the biggest boxing event in the US outside of Las Vegas, being held at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA, the NFL’s Dallas Cowboy’s home ground in front of 70,000 people, and millions on Netflix.

Fans have already been given a jump-scare as footage from Tyson’s locker room revealed that his bare a** was out.

The undercard began at 1am GMT this morning, with things spicing up in the days prior, as Tyson slapped Paul at the weigh-in on 14 November.

Paul and Tyson are set to conduct their ring walks at around 11pm local time (5am GMT) tonight.

However, some fans have had problems getting the fight up on Netflix at all, getting some error messages as the stream has not started for them yet.

One shared on social media: “They really gaslighting us now,” with a photo of their error message.

Another said: “The most exciting part is wondering if it will ever load”

A third commented: “Every 30 seconds…. ridiculous”

A different user wrote: “It’s getting worse. And it’s time for the fight now darn.”

It is unclear if the problem has been solved as the main fight approaches.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson rules explained

The bout between Paul, 27, and Tyson, 58, has been sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which makes this a professional fight, as the result will go on the fighter’s respective records.

However, it will not adhere to the rules of a standard heavyweight bout, with gloves being heavier at 14 ounces instead of 10. This means the punches will not land as hard due to the extra padding, as well as protecting each boxer’s hands more than at 10-ounce gloves.

The rounds will also last two minutes instead of the standard three, and instead of 12 rounds, there will only be eight.
