Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul: 'The Problem Child' SMASHES Canelo, it's OFFICIAL

Jake Paul continues to call out boxing’s PPV cash cow ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, and now he has PROOF that he is an even bigger draw.

‘The Problem Child’ threw down with living heavyweight legend Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington,Texas last Friday night – the palatial home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

The card, featuring that eight-round Tyson vs Paul showdown, supported by Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 2, shattered viewing records everywhere, peaking at an astounding 65million streams. It’s estimated that 60million households watched the main event, with 50million watching Taylor/Serrano 2 to make it the most viewed women’s sports event in US history.

Paul though also made some records in the arena itself, with the live gate producing a new record for any fight in Texas, and anywhere in the world outside of Las Vegas.

Another record for Jake Paul

His new ‘Lone Star State’ mark of $18.1million obliterated all previous numbers, notably those held by Mexican megastar Canelo. The highest Alvarez had produced was $9million for his win over Billy Joe Saunders, also at AT&T Stadium, back in 2021.

Paul vs. Tyson and Taylor vs. Serrano 2 had an average ticket price of $304, marking a 123% increase over the previous AT&T Stadium record held by Canelo Álvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders, which had an average ticket price of $136. In total, 72,300 fans were on hand last Friday night.

“Paul vs. Tyson and Taylor vs. Serrano 2 rewrote the record books, solidifying Most Valuable Promotions as a trailblazer in combat sports,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions.

We’re proud to have partnered with Netflix to deliver an event that brought fans together worldwide and broke many records.

“The UFC, which I believe to be the greatest combat sports organization of all time, has been in business for 30+ years and they have never put on an event of this magnitude. We established MVP three years ago and are just getting started. This is what it means to push the boundaries of what’s possible in sports entertainment.
