Tyson vs Paul: Jake Paul has looked into a video camera and said 90,000 will be at AT&T Stadium to watch his fight with Mike Tyson on Nov. 15.
There appears to be no guarantee he’s right less than two weeks before the event.
Mignano said the Tyson-Paul fight already is the highest-grossing gate in the history of Texas combat sports, including UFC. She did not provide a figure, but the “live gate” for the fight between Alvarez and Saunders generated $9 million, according to Boxing Scene.
Hundreds of tickets were listed on Seat Geek for $50 or less at the time this story was written.
Seat Geek, the official ticketer for the fight between Tyson and Paul, has declined to provide information about tickets sold. MVP did not respond to questions about ticket sales.

“At this moment, the attendance would fill Dodger Stadium and would be the largest crowd ever to witness a Tyson fight,” Joann Mignano, the boxer’s publicist, told USA TODAY Sports by text Saturday.
Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul full fight card revealed
Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul is less than a month away, and now we have a full fight card to go with the controversial but colossal bout on Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions announced Thursday the complete Tyson vs. Paul undercard, topped by the highly anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) and Amanda Serrano (47-2-1, 31 KOs).
Taylor and Serrano sold out Madison Square Garden for their April 2022 thriller, which captured the Fight of the Year honors from several boxing outlets. On that occasion, the Irishwoman edged the Puerto Rican, winning a split decision (97-93, 96-94, 94-96) to retain her undisputed lightweight titles.
