Someone has actually bought that $2million (£1.6million) ticket for the Jake Paul v Mike Tyson fight.

Yep, ahead of the big face-off tomorrow (15 November) night – well, the early hours of Saturday morning for us UK lot – a special VIP ticket has apparently been sold.

The big boxing event is of course getting live streamed on Netflix, with subscribers being able to watch it without paying an additional PPV fee.

But plenty of people are still heading out to watch in person as Paul faces Tyson at the 60,000 capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

And that now seems to include someone whose splashed the millions on this top-end ticket that includes six seats.

What’s included in the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul VIP package?

The package comes with a special pre-fight locker room visit plus a unrivalled view in a ‘specially built ringside suite’. Two of the six ticket holders will get a unique experience, sitting elevated above the rest of the crowd.

But get this, early renders show that the fans in this kind of private booth attached to the ring won’t necessarily be watching the action right in front of them straight-up. Oh no, they’ll be watching it splashed on a TV screen in front of them. While they’re in there, they’ll be provided with the ‘top-shelf’ food and drinks on tap as they lounge back on recliners.

Sorry, I mean, you can’t tell me I couldn’t just create this same feeling from the comfort of my own home, pulling up my comfy sofa in front of the telly and laying out a buffet?

But whatever, this special package does come with a whole load of other fancy perks like getting a set of autographed boxing gloves from the main men of the night. They’ll even have a personal escort throughout the event plus a two-night stay at the Loews Arlington Hotel.

Oh, and of course, the package comes with the standard stuff, like you know, access to every bit of the pre-fight stuff from press conferences to the weigh-ins.

The other four ticket-holders not getting to sit in the ‘Ringside Apron Seats’ will instead be in Row 1 ringside seats.

Who bought the $2M Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul VIP package?

It was announced yesterday that this whopping MVP Owner’s Experience was purchased by Los Angeles-based law firm, TorkLaw.

Korosh Torkzadeh, from TorkLaw, told USA TODAY Sports: “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.”

Well, good for them.

Before they watch the big event on fight night, they’ll also get access to a Private VIP Green Room with an open bar and all-inclusive menu.

The undercard will begin at 8pm eastern time (ET) on Friday, which is 1am GMT on Saturday for UK viewers.

Netflix subscribers have been warned over a small issue which may prevent them from watching the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight this weekend.

We are now mere days away from the biggest fight of the year taking place, when YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake ‘The Problem Child’ Paul steps in front of an 80,000 strong crowd at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas to fight the legendary ‘Iron Mike’.

The fight has faced several setbacks in order to get over the line, with a health scare from 58-year-old Tyson pushing it back a number of months – however, we’re finally here.

So, here is everything you need to know ahead of watching the fight from the comfort of your own sofa

How do I watch the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight?

The main event will take place at around 10pm in Texas on Friday (15 November), which means that UK viewers will need to stay up until 4am on Saturday (16 November) if they want to catch the fight live.

Do I need to pay extra to watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson?

One of the main questions fans have been asking in the lead-up to the bout is whether or not you’ll need to pay extra.

The fight is broadcasting exclusively on streaming platform Netflix and anyone who already has a subscription will be available to watch free of charge. That’s right, the fight was no PPV charge and will even be available to people who have the £4.99-a-month ads-supported subscription.

Which is no doubt music to many of your ears.

However, there are some important things to be aware of before Friday night/Saturday morning rolls around.

If you’re planning to be kind and share your subscription with others, be aware that only up to two people will be able to watch from a standard £10.99-a-month subscription.

However, anyone who pays for the more expensive £17.99-a-month premium subscription will be able to share their login with as many as four users, including the option to add two members from a different household (a feature long gone for many Netflix users) and see the pair pummel each other in crystal clear Ultra HD quality.

If that’s the sort of thing you’re into.

Do I need a TV Licence to watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson?

Viewers who exclusively consume their content through streaming platforms should also be aware that the rules are slightly different when it comes to broadcasting live TV.

While you don’t need a TV licence to stream shows, you do need to pay for one if you’re watching live shows – with the penalty for being caught out a grim £1,000.

Netflix has shared the full list of controversial rules for Mike Tyson and Jake Paul’s boxing match, which is set to go ahead in just a couple of days.

Well folks, it’s finally happening, ‘Iron Mike’ is set to head into the ring to face off against Jake ‘The Problem Child’ Paul in one of the most highly anticipated boxing matches of the year.

The bout was rescheduled after 58-year-old Tyson suffered a health scare earlier in the year while on-board a flight to Los Angeles.

However, with the fight now finally going ahead, should Tyson pass two final medical tests, here is everything you need to know about the rules.

How do I watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson?

The fight will be taking place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas tomorrow night (15 November), which means viewers in the UK will have to tune in during the early hours of Saturday (16 November) morning if they want to watch along.

Paul vs Tyson is being broadcast live on Netflix, with subscribers being able to watch the fight for no extra cost.

However, anyone watching without a TV license should be aware of this little known rule which could see you landed with a £1,000 if you decide to broadcast the bout live.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight rules explained

The fight between Paul and Tyson will look slightly different to your standard boxing match, due to several conditions being in place.

Each round will last for two minutes, which is less than the standard three minutes you typically see in professional boxing. Additionally, the pair will only fight for eight rounds, instead of the usual 12.

The next difference will be the gloves, with both boxers using heavier 14-ounce gloves instead of 10-ounce ones. A heavier glove means that more shock will be absorbed by the glove’s padding, instead of the fist and point of contact on the opposition fighter.

Neither Tyson or Paul will be wearing headgear during the bout and there will be the standard three judges at ringside who will score each round (should no knockout occur).

These rules have been approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations.

What are the rules for the other fights on the night?

Alongside Paul vs Tyson, there will also be a co-main event which involves a re-match between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, two years after the pair headlined a sold out event at Madison Square Garden. The fight ended with a narrow split decision in favour of Taylor.

In regards to the rules for Taylor vs Serrano, Netflix has stated the fight will follow the traditional women’s boxing rules of 10 two-minute rounds.

Meanwhile, the two undercard fights will be Mario Barrios vs Abel Ramos and Neeraj Goyat vs Whindersson Nunes.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are just days away from their huge boxing fight streaming live on Netflix with the rules for the bout laid out in advance.

Taking place in the heart of the USA at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the mega fight will pit former world champion Iron Mike against Paul, a YouTuber turned professional boxer going by the nickname ‘The Problem Child’.

Despite the 31 year age difference, the fight is going ahead – if Tyson can clear two final tests – after being rescheduled following serious health problems for Tyson who thought he was ‘going to die’.

It is one of seven fights on the card, with six undercard fights taking place, organised by Paul’s company Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). Most notably is a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and Ring lightweight titles. The main fight has been sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, with three major conditions placed on the Paul vs Tyson bout.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson rules

Several conditions were placed on the fight between Paul and Tyson, with them making it slightly different to most professional fights you might have watched.

First up, instead of the standard 10-ounce gloves worn in a heavyweight fight, they will wear 14-ounce gloves. The heavier the glove, the more padding and the more shock absorbed by the glove, rather than the fist and point of contact on the opposition fighter.

Following this up, there will be eight rounds instead of the usual 12.

And for those eight rounds, they will be two minutes long instead of the standard three minutes you see in a professional bout.

For the fight, there will be the usual three judges at ringside who will score each round in the event of there not being a knockout, which are sanctioned. No head guards will be allowed, either.

Rules split fans

Some fans aren’t too happy with the specific rules, with one saying: “14-ounce gloves? So they’re just basically having a pillow fight?”

A second said: “No head gear? At almost 60, Mike Tyson cannot take a shot to the head. That’s a tough one.”

And a third wrote: “14 oz is heavier than amateurs. 10 or 12 oz would’ve been great.”

But another wrote: “The two minute rule is HUGE.

At Tyson’s age, a two minute sprint, one minute recovery is much easier than three on, one off.”

Another posted: “Mike Tyson will either be knocked down quickly or they will go the distance.”
