Fans are showing little interest in the upcoming controversial exhibition fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis, as ticket prices have been slashed by 50%. The fight is set to take place in Miami on November 14, with many criticizing the matchup due to the significant weight difference between the fighters. Paul, who typically fights at cruiserweight, will face Davis, a lightweight boxer.
Amid confusion over the fight’s rules, it has been revealed that the exhibition will consist of 10 rounds with a maximum weight limit of 195lb, and both fighters will wear 12-ounce gloves. Despite these details, ticket sales have been slow, with prices dropping significantly in recent weeks. Tickets can be purchased 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.
During a press conference, Paul expressed his eagerness to score a knockout in the upcoming fight, while Davis emphasized his speed advantage over his opponent and predicted a challenging match for Paul. The fight is scheduled to take place at the Kaseya Center in Florida on November 14, with the main event expected to start around 4am UK time. The event will be broadcast on Netflix, included in all payment plans ranging from £5.99 to £18.99 per month.
