Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis are less than a month out from their exhibition bout, but the matchup in Florida is not drawing the crowd they might have hoped for.

After failing to secure a venue in Atlanta, Jake Paul and WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis moved their fight to the Kaseya Center in Miami. Despite that adjustment, tickets are not moving quickly.

Both fighters have tried to drum up interest with pre-fight predictions, but so far, it has not translated into strong ticket sales.

In fact, prices have dropped significantly as organisers look to boost what has been a fairly slow response from fans.

The Kaseya Center in Miami holds just under 20,000 people, but so far, Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis are not coming close to filling it.

With sales lagging behind expectations, the cheapest tickets have dropped from $223 to just over $91.

Ringside seats have also been reduced by half, now starting at $2,736 for a spot right next to the action.

Music star predicts a loss for Jake Paul against Gervonta Davis

Even though it is a non-official bout, Paul is expected to face his toughest opponent yet.

He picked up his first win of the year this summer, outpointing former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. That came after a controversial fight with Mike Tyson nearly a year ago.

But there are doubts about how he will fare against Davis, with Cardi B backing him to come up short this time.
