Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul VIP fight package costs a whopping $2M. Here's who bought it.
The highly anticipated bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is taking ringside seats to another level.
There are a variety of VIP packages available for Friday's bout at AT&T Stadium, ranging from the VIP Contender Package ($5K) to the VIP Champion Package ($7.5K) and the Ringside VVIP Package ($20K). But they all pale in comparison to the MVP Owner's Experience, which is valued at a whopping $2 million.
The price of the MVP Owner's Experience may be a knockout blow to anyone's wallet, but not to the national personal injury law firm, TorkLaw. Most Valuable Promotions and Elevate announced Wednesday that the Los Angeles-based law firm purchased the one-of-a-kind package.
The MVP Owner's Experience offers unprecedented access to the fight, highlighted by a ringside suite built right outside of the ring. The two-person suite, which will be visible during Netflix's exclusive broadcast, "marks the closest patron seating that has been historically approved by Texas boxing regulators," according to Most Valuable Promotions.
"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," Korosh Torkzadeh, a partner at TorkLaw, said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports. "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."
The multimillion-dollar VIP package also comes with eight ringside seats, an onstage spot at weigh-in, a locker room visit with both boxers ahead of the fight, as well as an in-ring photo opportunity after the fight and multiple pairs of autographed gloves.
The MVP Owner's Experience not only grants you access, but includes accommodations — a personal car service, security and a two-night stay at the Loews Arlington Hotel are included.
“TorkLaw has gone beyond traditional fan involvement by purchasing the MVP Owners Experience, allowing them to be at the very heart of this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle," said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions. "Their choice to engage so intimately with this historic event underscores TorkLaw’s commitment to embodying the spirit of 'Champions of the People' by diving into unique and significant cultural moments.
"We are delighted to welcome TorkLaw into this exclusive experience, celebrating together the passion and drama of this extraordinary match. Thank you to our partners at Elevate for bringing Jake Paul, Mike Tyson and MVP’s vision to innovate the fan experience to fruition.”
Tyson vs. Paul is streaming exclusively on Netflix. The main card for the event will start at 8 p.m. ET.
