Fan secures $2m ticket for Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight and here's everything it entitles them to
The $2m package has finally been bought.
A fan has secured a ticket worth an astonishing $2 million to watch the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
Paul and Tyson face off at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday November 15 (the early hours of Saturday morning UK time).
The fight has been almost a year in the making, as the pair were due to face each other in July before the bout was postponed following a health scare suffered by Tyson.
'Iron Mike' suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight, and said in an interview for the 'Countdown: Paul vs Tyson' that he was not explicitly told by a doctor that he would survive the scare.

Now, five months on from that incident, the 58-year-old says he is ready to go - with the pair already engaging in several verbal battles in a pre-fight press conference.
There were still various ticket types available ahead of fight week - but a staggering $2 million VIP package had not yet been claimed. Until now.
What is included in the VIP package?
The package comes with a series of pre-fight benefits, including access to all the events that take place throughout fight week.
In addition, the ticket holder is given a set of autographed gloves from Paul and Tyson, as well as receiving a personal escort and two-night stay at the Loews Arlington Hotel.
Once they get into the AT&T Stadium, the ticket holders - six people in total - are given a special pre-fight tour of the locker room.
Then they are shown into a 'specially built ringside suite', which hosts two people. They are then elevated above the rest of the crowd to get the best view of the action between the ropes.
The other four people don't get a bad deal, though, as they are given Row 1 ringside tickets.
If you're wondering who gets the better end of the deal, indications are that the 'ringside suite' will house a TV screen which the fight can be watched on.
The experience has now been purchased by TorkLaw, who are a law firm based on Los Angeles.
Korosh Torkzadeh explained to USA TODAY why his company decided to buy the ticket: "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 what the odds."
