BOXING fans have been left in disbelief by the PPV price of Jake Paul’s bout with Anderson Silva.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer will lock horns with MMA legend Silva this weekend in Phoenix, Arizona.
It marks Paul’s first fight since his second victory over Tyron Woodley all the way back in December last year.
Ring-walks for the main event will take place at around 4am UK time on Sunday – meaning only the most ardent fans will be up to watch it.
And not only do British fans face a desperately early start, but they’ll have to shell out £17.99 to watch it on Fite TV.
Social media users were left flabbergasted by the price and were quick to share their rants.

And a third wrote: “If they give me £17.99 I wouldn’t watch that.”
While a fourth joked: “I’m shaving (that) night, that’s more interesting.”
