Mike Tyson<\/a> and Jake Paul<\/a> met in New York on Tuesday for their official press conference ahead of their July 21 fight, with their notable age difference a topic reporters found difficult to ignore.<\/p>\n

Yet there wasn't much reaction to the obscene amounts of money Paul's promotional company is demanding for a VIP package to attend the event and the gatherings in the lead up.<\/p>\n

For those interested in the "VIP package", it costs over $3 million AUD, giving fans "unprecedented access" to the July bout.<\/p>\n

The package, released through Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, has been titled the "MVP Owner's Experience" according to Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP.<\/p>\n

With the hefty price tag\ufeff comes a pair of ringside apron seats – which is a first in boxing – four first-row floor seats and four second-row floor seats.<\/p>\n

The fight will be held in AT&T Stadium, one of the NFL's largest venues, which can hold 80,000 people seated and 100,000 people standing.<\/p>\n

The seven-figure price tag will also give fans access to a top of the line open bar with an all-inclusive food menu, boxing gloves signed by Paul and Tyson, a two-night stay at the same hotel as Tyson and Paul, a spot on stage for the weigh-in and "more".<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime event that literally touches six generations," Bidarian said.<\/p>\n

Secondary ticket sites have the most expensive\ufeff ticket at over $90,000 and the cheapest $215.<\/p>\n

According to the promoter, 120,000 fans signed up for presale access.<\/p>\n

As for their media conference in New York, Tyson and Paul were jovial when they were asked to face off on stage, with the former heavyweight champ throwing playful punches.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Earlier, Tyson responded to claims he should not be entering the ring with someone 30 years his junior.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"I think the people that said that wish they were up here," Tyson said. "Because no one else can do it.<\/p>\n

"Who else can do this? Who else can shut the sporting world down? No one else can do it. You've got the both of us, and we're gonna do this."\ufeff<\/p>\n

Paul said he's been doubted ahead of the clash, telling those in attendance he's been fighting at a "super high level" during his four years in the sport.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"A lot of people are doubting me," Paul said. "I go onto the Instagram comments and I see them all saying, 'If Jake wins this fight, it's rigged' because of how incredible he looks. Age doesn't matter.<\/p>\n

"Age is just a number. He's a killer, he's a warrior, he's been doing this his whole, entire life, so it's second nature to him. I've been doing this for four years, and I've been doing it at a super high level.<\/p>\n

"On July 20th, I'm gonna show the world that I can outbox Mike Tyson and prove everyone wrong and show everyone that I will be the one doing the killing."<\/p>\n

When asked if the pair share a friendship, Tyson said: \ufeff "We're friends. There's no doubt we're friends, but in that ring we're not gonna be friends.<\/p>\n

"That's just what it is."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
