Ringside view of $2 million ticket for Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul shows everything that was included

Talk about the best seat in the house...

One lucky fan had the best seat in the house when watching Jake Paul’s unanimous decision victory over Mike Tyson in Arlington, Texas.

Tyson, 58, took on Paul, 27, and despite being in top physical condition, could simply not roll back the years as the younger of the pair danced around, hitting the ‘Iron Mike’ seemingly at will.

Paul came away with a routine victory as the three judges scored the bout 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73.

Over 70,000 fans packed into the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium for what was Tyson’s first professional bout since losing against Kevin McBride in 2005.

Among the huge numbers was a lucky fan whose seat was next to the ring’s apron and arguably the best in the stadium.

According to reports by USA Today, a variety of VIP packages were on offer including the VIP Contender Package ($5K), the VIP Champion Package ($7.5K), and the Ringside VVIP Package ($20K).

However, one ticket’s price was substantially more than the rest, with the MVP owner’s experience ticket priced at an eye-watering price of $2m (£1.6million).

According to the ticket’s description, this included two apron suite seats, eight ringside seats, a personal green room, an onstage spot at the weigh-in, locker room pictures with the fighters, personal car services and a two-night stay in the luxury Loews Hotel Suite with four rooms available.

A video emerged online appearing to show the experience, and it’s fair to say the ringside seats were certainly something to be marvelled at.

Whether the seats warranted the hefty price is still debatable, but at least the fighters went the full eight two-minute rounds so the lucky spectators could enjoy their view for a period.

The tickets were purchased by Los Angeles-based law firm TorkLaw.

Korosh Torkzadeg, from TorkLaw, told USA Today: "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 the odds."

Fans could not help but offer their opinion on the highly-priced seats on social media.

One expressed their dismay by saying: “Are you seriously watching it on a television screen in front of the ring!!!”

A second felt the tickets were not good value for money, they said: “Paying £2 million for that boring fight is mad. I feel robbed paying £10 to watch it on Netflix.”

With a third adding: “Some people paid Two Million Dollars for a ticket in that Tyson vs Jake Paul fight, my Goodness! That is money that can change the life of 95% of the world's population.”
