FANS have slammed the tickets for Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul after it was announced that one VIP package would cost a whopping $2million (£1.6m).
The cross-generation fight is taking place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas on July 20.

Jake Paul’s promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions, have announced a number of high-end VIP packages including the £1.6m ‘MVP Owner’s Package’.
The incredible package will offer “unparalleled seats, access and amenities during fight week and on fight night”.
Those who are willing to fork out the cash for the insane package will bag themselves two ringside apron seats (owner’s seats), four first row floor seats, and four second row floor seats for the event.
