Boxing legend Mike Tyson will fight Jake Paul later this year, and tickets are already selling for insane prices.
The former undisputed world heavyweight champion, now 57, will square off against the much younger Paul at Cowboys Stadium on July 21, with Netflix to stream the event live.
While tickets haven’t officially gone on sale, listings have been posted on reselling sites such as StubHub, Vivid Seat, and the Gametime app.
The Gametime app has the lowest-selling tickets listed at $575, which includes taxes and fees. Ring-side seats are currently going for $8,067 per.
Meanwhile, a representative for StubHub has explained why tickets are being listed on reselling apps before officially going on sale, pointing out that there are folks who are involved with the event who have received tickets and might not be able to use them.
“You may see a ticket listed on StubHub before an event’s pre-sale or on-sale date,” the rep said, per USA Today. “This is because tickets are distributed across venues, sponsors, key players and individuals involved with the event, who know they have tickets and can’t always use them.

“It’s important to note there is no incentive for a seller to post a ticket on StubHub they can’t deliver. As part of our seller policies, we prohibit sellers from listing a ticket they can’t provide.”
