Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul: 'The official line from Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano is that they are thrilled to costar in the Friday night fights in the Dallas Cowboys stadium. But the unspoken truth is that the next chapter of their old-school boxing rivalry, based on ferocity and respect, has legitimised the strange and voyeuristic contest between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, the social media celebrity who concocted the entire affair.
The November evenings are chilly in Dallas and Paul, not for the first time, may have wildly overestimated his personal appeal by booking the AT&T stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys, for an outdoor event that was originally scheduled for July. The promoters are claiming that 70,000 people will truck it out to the big field in Arlington for an event that will be streamed live on Netflix. But tickets are still available as the hours count down and prices have fallen radically: $420 was the standard-seat cost last July. Now, tickets are going for under $70 and ringside seats are available at $1,475, down from the initial pricing of $40,000, according to World Boxing News'.
