In a major announcement, Netflix has revealed a groundbreaking partnership with Most Valuable Promotions for live sports events. The streaming giant is set to host a highly anticipated boxing match between legendary fighter Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-fighter Jake Paul on July 20 in what is being touted as a “boxing mega-event.”
The event will be streamed exclusively on Netflix from the iconic AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, marking Netflix’s ambitious foray into sports programming and live entertainment. This move comes on the heels of Netflix’s recent 10-year deal with WWE for exclusive rights to stream “Raw,” a deal valued at over $5 billion.
Both Tyson and Paul have expressed their excitement for the upcoming fight, which promises to be a clash of titans. Tyson, known for his ferocious boxing skills and controversial personality, will be facing off against Paul, who has risen from internet influencer to boxing pro in recent years.
The fight is the result of the partnership between Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions, solidifying Netflix as the go-to destination for sports content with a mix of documentaries and live events. With this latest venture, Netflix continues its push to be the premier at-home viewing destination in the US, offering a diverse range of entertainment options for audiences worldwide.
