Fans are showing little interest in the upcoming controversial boxing match between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis, as ticket prices have been cut in half. The exhibition showdown is scheduled to take place in Miami on November 14, with criticism stemming from the significant weight difference between the fighters. Paul, who typically competes at cruiserweight, moved up to heavyweight for his victory over Mike Tyson last November.
Davis, on the other hand, is primarily a lightweight fighter. Amid confusion regarding the event’s rules, it has been revealed that the exhibition will consist of a 10-round bout with three-minute rounds, limiting the fighters’ weight to 195lbs. Both contenders will wear 12-ounce gloves during the match.
Despite the details of the fight, ticket sales have been sluggish, with prices dropping significantly just over two weeks before the event. Ticket options are available through platforms like Ticketmaster, Viagogo, and StubHub. For instance, on October 15, the cheapest Viagogo tickets were priced at £139 ($186), with the most expensive ringside ticket reaching £4,043 ($5,413).
Ticket prices have fluctuated in the following weeks, with the cheapest Ticketmaster admission ticket now priced at £69.58 ($91.50). The most expensive ringside ticket on Ticketmaster costs £2,080 ($2,736), while the Diamond VIP Package is priced at £22,807 ($30,000).
The highly anticipated match is set to occur on November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Florida, with specific fight times to be announced closer to the event. Coverage of the event, including the main event between Paul and Davis, will be available on the streaming platform Netflix, accessible through various subscription plans ranging from £5.99 to £18.99 per month.
