Stepping into the ring with Mike Tyson is probably too intimidating for most boxing fans, but high rollers looking to get closer to the action than ever before can do so by spending $2 million on ringside seats for their Nov. 15 fight. with Jake Paul.

Consulting firm Elevate unveiled renderings of its premium hospitality package for the fight, a 10-ticket “MVP Owner Experience” that will seat two people in a private suite less than six feet from the action in Arlington, Texas. .

The ringside suite at Tyson’s first professional fight in 19 years is the closest to the ring that Texas boxing regulators have approved seating for patrons, according to Elevate, and features top-notch premium leather chairs.

Other benefits include a pre-fight locker room visit with Tyson and Paul, the opportunity to be on stage during the weigh-in, gloves autographed by both boxers, and personal concierge and security details throughout the week.
