$2M VIP Tickets, $12M+ Record Purse, and 3 More Key Points for Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul Netflix Fight

We are just a week away from the biggest event of 2024, when Jake Paul will take on Mike Tyson on 15th November at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This event has been in the making for nearly a year now, and finally, we will get answers to all our questions.

From putting a 58-year-old former champion against a 27-year-old YouTuber turned boxer to completely abolishing the pay-per-view charges through Netflix, Paul and Tyson alongside MVP have done everything opposite of a typical boxing event. While the Paul-Tyson match has been the talk of the town, there are many things to look forward to other than the fight.

'MVP Owner's Experience' for Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul at $2 Million! Earlier the fight was supposed to take place on July 20, but due to Mike Tyson suffering an ulcer flare-up, it had to be postponed. The fans had to wait for almost 6 months and to make up for that, MVP has released an exclusive VIP package worth $2 million. The package titled "MVP Owner's Experience" promises to give you a VIP experience. The package includes two seats in a ringside suite, just six feet away from the ring, which is the closest seat in Texas boxing history.

Other benefits include four first-row floor seats and four second-row floor seats, a locker room visit with Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, and a chance to be present on stage at the official weigh-in. Further prizes include boxing gloves signed by Paul and Tyson, a personal concierge, and security detail for the week. The bidding war for the package has already started and MVP will announce the winner soon. Considering that we are going to see a record-breaking fight, $2 million might not be that expensive.

Record-Breaking Fight Purse of over $12 Million for Amanda Serrano vs. Kaytie Taylor While Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are the main attraction of the event, the match between Katie TaylorAmanda Serrano might be the show stealer. The two champions will continue their rivalry after a historic match at the Madison Square Garden in April 2022.

Last time, Serrano lost the fight narrowly and would like to exact revenge on the undisputed super lightweight champion. While the match will be a showstopper, it was the details about the paycheck of both these fighters that left the fans flabbergasted.

According to the reports, Katie Taylor will receive the largest payday in the history of women's boxing and will make over $6.1 million. Fans were wrapping their heads around the news when 'The Real Deal' dropped an ever bigger bombshell stating that her paycheck is even bigger. The exact number of Serrano's earnings is not revealed, but if she is earning more than Taylor, the purse split of the fight is clearly north of $12 million. If what Serrano said is true, it will be a record-breaking purse split in women's boxing.

Undercard replacement for Tyson vs Paul fight card While everything was going smoothly for the event, another disaster struck when Corey Marksman had to pull out because of an untimely injury. Marksman was supposed to face Lucas Bahdi on the undercard and Most Valuable Promotions had to find a replacement quickly.

Well, it looks like they did a great job as Italian Armando Casamonica will replace the injured Marksman. Even though it is a last-minute replacement, this 10-round lightweight clash between two undefeated fighters promises to be an interesting match.

This will be Bahdi's first fight since his upset victory over Ashton Sylve earlier this year. On the other hand, Casamonica will compete out of Italy for the very first time in his professional career. This match can hugely boost their career as they will be fighting in front of 80,000 fans and we might even see a record viewership considering the fight will be free for Netflix subscribers.

First prominent boxing event without a PPV model Netflix will livestream the entire Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson event for its subscribers without requiring additional pay-per-view charges. With Netflix streaming the fight free for its subscribers, this match might break a decade-old record in terms of viewership.

The subscriber base of Netflix globally is approximately 260 million households. Several reports have stated that this fight can attract almost 500 million viewers worldwide. While the prediction might not come to fruition, it can still break the record held by the fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. Manny Pacquiao with approximately 4.6 million PPV buys in the U.S.

With the fight free of any additional cost, it might not only attract the general audience but might also tackle a problem that has plagued modern boxing.

Is Tyson vs. Paul saving the boxing world from billions of dollars worth of losses? In today's boxing world, piracy seems to be the biggest blow to athletes' livelihoods. The bigger the fight, the higher the consequences and eventual losses dealt by the promotional companies because of piracy. While the streaming platforms have tried various reforms to tackle this problem, promotional companies struggle in this department. Recent reports indicate that even the PBC lacks the resources to combat piracy.

Well, Netflix does not want the same fate, and that is why its anti-piracy department will spare no expense to prevent the piracy of the fight. According to a report by Boxing Kingdom, the anti-piracy department of Netflix is massive and has offices across multiple continents. The report further stated, "Analysis on cyber lockers and data streaming sites has already been performed."

For years, boxing broadcasters have been failing in their war against piracy due to geolocation restrictions. But if Netflix is successful in this war, this might open new possibilities for every streaming giant and might even save boxing's future.

With a stacked undercard including a record-breaking fight, a fiery main event embroiled in personal hate, and new VIP packages by MVP, this event has become a must-watch for every fan. What are you most excited about on Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight night?
