Fans are not showing much interest in the upcoming Jake Paul versus Gervonta Davis fight, as ticket prices have been cut in half. The exhibition match is scheduled for November 14 in Miami, sparking criticism due to the significant weight difference between the fighters. Paul, who typically competes at cruiserweight, moved up to heavyweight for his victory over Mike Tyson last year.
On the other hand, Davis, known for his lightweight status, will face Paul in a 10-round exhibition bout with three-minute rounds and a weight limit of 195 pounds. Both fighters will wear 12-ounce gloves during the event. Despite these details, ticket sales have been slow, with prices dropping significantly within a short period.
Ticket prices vary across different platforms; Viagogo offered tickets starting at £139 ($186), while StubHub had tickets from £131 ($223) up to £9,480 ($12,686) for ringside seats. Ticketmaster’s prices ranged from £69.58 ($91.50) for standard admission to £22,807 ($30,000) for the Diamond VIP Package.
The fight, set for November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Florida, will be streamed on Netflix. Paul expressed his eagerness for a knockout victory, while Davis emphasized his speed advantage over Paul. The main event is expected to begin around 4 am UK time.
