Fewer than 60,000 tickets were sold for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight at AT&T Stadium last month. The event fell short of expectations, with about 6,500 tickets given away, totaling 66,103 tickets distributed. Jake Paul had previously claimed the fight would attract 90,000 spectators. The venue, which holds 80,000, required additional standing-room tickets to meet that goal. Ultimately, 59,666 tickets were sold. Despite the lower attendance, the fight generated $18.1 million in ticket sales, making it the highest-grossing U.S. boxing event outside Nevada. The total proceeds, including giveaways, reached $22 million, resulting in a tax bill of about $650,000.
