Fans are shying away from the upcoming contentious fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis as ticket prices have been cut in half. The duo is scheduled to face off in Miami on November 14 in an exhibition match that has drawn criticism due to the significant weight difference between the two fighters.
Jake Paul, known for competing in the cruiserweight division, even moved up to heavyweight for his victory against Mike Tyson last November. On the other hand, ‘Tank’ Davis typically fights in the lightweight category. The fight rules have caused some confusion, with the event disclosed to be a 10-round exhibition featuring 195lb weight limit and 12-ounce gloves for both fighters.
Despite the anticipation for the match, fans seem less engaged as ticket prices have dropped significantly with just over two weeks left until fight night. Ticket options are available through Ticketmaster, Viagogo, and StubHub, with prices starting at £69.58 ($91.50) for standard admission and going up to £22,807 ($30,000) for the Diamond VIP Package on Ticketmaster.
Both fighters have expressed confidence in their abilities, with Paul aiming for a knockout victory while Davis emphasized his speed advantage over Paul. The bout is set to take place at the Kaseya Center in Florida on November 14, with the main event likely to start around 4am UK time. The fight will be streamed on Netflix, included in all payment plans ranging from £5.99 to £18.99 per month.
