Tickets for the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are listed for up to $8,000 through online ticket brokers.

The tickets officially go on sale May 16, according to Paul, but tickets are listed through StubHub, Vivid Seats and Gametime for the heavyweight fight scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium, the 80,000-seat facility in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys. People who sign up for the presale will get access to tickets May 14, according to Paul.

Gametime, which bills itself as the leading app/site for last minute tickets, has released ticket price details that include $8,067 for ringside seats, according to public relations specialist Glenn Mandell.

The lowest price ticket through Gametime is $575, according to Mandell.

Ticket prices on StubHub range from $323 to $2,184 and tickets on Vivid Seat range from $247 to $3,140.

Joe Trahan, Director of Media Relations & Corporate Communications at Dallas Cowboys, referred questions to fighting officials.

Bryce Holden of Holden Boxing LLC, the promoter for the fight, declined to comment.

“You may see a ticket listed on StubHub before an event’s pre-sale or on-sale date,” StubHub said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports. “This is because tickets are distributed across venues, sponsors, key players and individuals involved with the event, who knows they have tickets and can’t always use them.

“It’s important to note there is no incentive for a seller to post a ticket on StubHub they can’t deliver. As part of our seller policies, we prohibit sellers from listing a ticket they can’t provide.”
