People on social media are saying this one fan has more money than sense after being stunned at how they were watching the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fan fight.
With the massive hype behind it, the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight was watched by millions around the world.
According to Netflix, 60 million households around the world tuned into to watch the former heavyweight champion and the YouTuber turned boxer go at it.
Unlike most sporting events, tuning in was as simple as just having a Netflix account.
However, some fans wanted a more close-up view of the fight so bought tickets to be in the AT&T Stadium in Texas on Friday.

While the fight may have been disappointing for many as Paul ended up winning via unanimous decision, people in the stadium had the best view - especially those who paid for VIP seats.
A clip has begun circulating on social media showing just how close these $2 million seats bring you to the action. But fans can’t believe how one fan chose to view this fight despite paying for these seats.
An occupant of the exclusive ringside booth was spotted watching the boxing on a TV screen rather than looking at the action right in front of him.

Yup... literally only a few feet from the blows and he was caught watching the swings and misses on screen.
Writing on Twitter, one person commented: “$2m and the dudes still watching the screen, that's absolutely wild!”
As another added: “'More money than sense, that's why.
And one user joked: “Everybody in the first row at a boxing match needs to be arrested. We'll figure out the charges soon enough.”

The $2 million tickets also come with some other perks that you would hope would help justify the price tag.
These perks included the chance to visit both fighters backstage before the fight, an open bar and gourmet all-inclusive food menu, and the chance to have an in-ring photo opportunity after the bout.
It also came with some mementos, including a signed glove from each fighter as well as a personal security escort and entrance to various events throughout fight week.

In addition to this, the two seats in the private ringside booth package also included a further eight seats across the first two rows of the venue.
Now, if you had an extra $2 million lying around, would you spend it on this package to see Tyson and Paul go head-to-head?
