Legendary heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson will make his long-awaited return to the ring later this year.
Fans who want to see the fight of July 20 against YouTube star boxer Jake Paul from inside AT&T Stadium in suburban Dallas will likely have a high price tag for tickets. As the fight gets closer, Paul's Most Valuable Promotions is offering premium ticket packages for fans who want to take their experience to the next level.
VIP packages will start at around $2 million, but promise to offer buyers unprecedented access to the fight and events leading up to the highly anticipated event.
VIPs will have a pair of front-row seats, depending on the promotion. MVP says no other boxing event ticket package has previously offered this opportunity.

MVP added that more than 100,000 people have registered to access pre-sale tickets for the fight. Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, said an estimated 10,000 people have expressed interest in the VIP offer.

The VIP package also includes four front-row floor seats for the event and four second-row floor seats. Ticket holders can also head to the locker room to take a pre-fight photo with Paul and Tyson. But the VIP experience doesn't end there. The package includes gloves signed by both fighters and a two-night stay in a hotel penthouse.

The seven-figure price covers all food and drinks at the event. It also comes with a spot on stage for weigh-ins and more.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime event that literally affects six generations,” Bidarian said.
AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, seats 80,000 for NFL games, but can be expanded to hold up to 100,000 for other events.
Tyson, once known as “the baddest man on the planet,” turns 58 a few weeks before the fight. Paul turned 27 earlier this year and has a 9-1 record.
Tyson has not fought competitively since his TKO loss to Kevin McBride in 2005. He competed in an exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr. in July 2020.

Tyson, the youngest boxer in history to win a heavyweight title, released a statement in March saying he was excited to “get in the ring” to face Paul.
“I'm looking forward to getting in the ring with Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas,” Tyson said. “He has grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a 'kid' can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT.
“It's a coming full circle moment that will be more than exciting to watch, as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones, and now I plan to finish him off.”
Netflix will stream the fight on July 20 and offer the event to all subscribers at no additional cost.
