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.

Paul vs, Tyson won't be the first boxing bout to take place at AT&T Stadium.

Superstar fighters Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez have both fought at the extravagant ground.

Pacquiao fought Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito at AT&T Stadium, drawing crowds of 50,994 and 41,734 respectively.

Canelo met Liam Smith and Billy Joe Saunders at the same stadium, recording attendances of 51,420 and a massive 73,126 respectively,

A crowd of around 80,000 could be in place for Tyson's comeback fight that has been sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations.

It will be contested over eight two-minute rounds instead of the usual three-minutes rounds. Both boxers will wear 14-ounce gloves, heavier than the standard gloves.
