Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson boxing fight hits major new setback as disaster change strikes

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson's November fight has been hit with yet another setback as tickets still available drop in price. It comes as a huge blow for the promoters, who have encountered plenty of troubles this year.

The re-arranged boxing bout - scheduled to take place at Arlington's AT&T Stadium in Texas just over two weeks from now on November 15 - had been slated for July before illness meant Tyson had to pull out.

However, despite the high-profile nature of the fighters, cheap tickets are now on sale. Instead of rising in cost as many events of this magnitude would usually do in the home straight before it starts, promoters have instead cut prices of hundreds of seats - with some available for $30 (£23) - MMA Junkie reports.

With a capacity over 80,000, it is a serious blow in the run-up to fight night.
