Mike Tyson’s ring return has really captured the imagination of the combat public, with over 65,000 fans expected to come to AT&T Stadium and tens of millions watching on Netflix.
And one set of supporters at ringside will be watching from seats that were valued at a whopping $2million. Tyson is set to face social media star-turned-controversial boxer Jake Paul on Friday night in a massive heavyweight clash, and tickets are a hot commodity in Dallas.
Now, one law firm has spent a pretty penny in order to bring six of their team to the historic boxing event. The package features two apron seats which are the closest commercially sold tickets in Texas boxing history, while four others will enjoy from row one of ringside alongside a host of stars.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson is set to break American gate records with 65,000+ attendance
The massive AT&T Stadium will welcome over 65,000 fans on Friday night for the return of Mike Tyson. It is expected to be the highest grossing event outside of Las Vegas in American boxing history, with a whopping $23million live gate the target to beat.
Tickets are still available for the bout and while some prices have been slashed, there is still a massive walk-up crowd expected. The event will also feature a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, whose initial bout sold out Madison Square Garden.
BAVAFA Sports, which is owned by Nakisa Bidarian, Most Valuable Promotions’ co-founder, tweeted yesterday: “Paul vs Tyson / Taylor vs Serrano is trending to have over 65,000 in attendance with a record gate for boxing in the US, outside of Las Vegas.”
$2million-value Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson ticket sells to law firm
And helping them to break that gate record will be TorkLaw, a National Personal Injury Law Firm. They have purchased a ticket package valued at $2million which features a number of prizes including pre-fight meet and greets, a custom-made ringside box and multiple other goodies.
While the exact amount spent is unknown, the ‘Owner’s Experience’ puts six lucky attendees in an unprecedented area of access next to the ring. Usually, even the best ringside seats at a boxing event are not as close as timekeepers and judges, but the commission have approved new arrangements.
“TorkLaw, is excited to have purchased the MVP Owners experience package for this historic event with MVP and Netflix, bringing a once-in-a-lifetime boxing event to audiences around the world,” said Reza Torkzadeh, Founder of TorkLaw, a National Personal Injury Law Firm in a statement today.
