How much does the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. fight cost? 

One of the most anticipated fights of the year is finally here. Boxing heavyweight legend Mike Tyson will put on his gloves once more for a bout against former four-division champion Roy Jones Jr. on November 28th, in Los Angeles, California.

Their fight will have eight two-minutes rounds and the California Athletic Commission bill it as a 'sparring' session. On the preliminary card, provocative YouTuber Jake Paul will box former NBA star, Nate Robinson. The event is being backed by Tyson's new entrepreneurial venture 'Legends Only League,' with which he hopes to help retired professional athletes display their skills again.

Both previously-retired pugilists are in their fifties, so the rules for the bout have been significantly redesigned to accommodate men of their age and condition. The reported rules have had mixed reactions on social media, but mostly sparking banter among fans who were expecting to see more action.
