Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight suffers major setback as ‘unexpected change made’ just weeks before event

Promoters have taken drastic action ahead of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson.

The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight has suffered a major setback as promoters have taken drastic action just weeks before the event.

Paul vs. Tyson is set to take place at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium on November 15.

The spectacular venue, home of NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, will have a capacity of 80,000 for the boxing bout, according to Most Valuable Promotions, who are promoting the heavyweight showdown.

Tickets are still available for the event with the high-profile clash just a few weeks away.

And, according to a report from MMA Junkie, promoters have recently slashed prices on ‘hundreds’ of seats, with some going for as low as $30.

A huge blow to promoters who had expected a quick sell-out when they first announced the controversial contest.

Per the report, there was one ticket going for $30 on Seat Geek, with plenty of tickets listed at $37.

Ringside tickets, on the other hand, were listed for as much as $50,000 apiece.

On StubHub, tickets are available for $52.
