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.
