Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has responded to widespread claims questioning the legitimacy of the Paul vs. Tyson event, refuting baseless accusations and reaffirming the integrity of the match.

The fight, sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR), was a professional bout where both fighters competed without restrictions or limitations. MVP emphasized that rigging a professional boxing match is a federal crime in the United States, and any agreement suggesting otherwise would violate TDLR rules.

MVP also criticized the unfounded speculation, insulting the fighters’ dedication and the sport itself. “Trash talk and speculation are common in sports,” they said, “but suggesting anything other than full effort from these fighters is not only naïve but an insult to the work they put into their craft.”

The promotion pointed out the absurdity of such claims, particularly given the event marked MVP’s first collaboration with the world’s largest streaming platform in a move toward live professional sports. MVP reiterated its commitment to fair competition and the principles of the sport, dismissing any notion of foul play as “illogical and inane.”

“This is not the first time Jake Paul has faced unfounded skepticism or outright disbelief as a professional athlete, and frankly, the claim that his bout must have been rigged is just the latest backhanded compliment to come his way,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions. “From day one in this sport, people have doubted his abilities—unable to reconcile how someone with his background has accomplished so much in such a short time. Jake has not only proven himself repeatedly, but he has continuously set historic records that speak for themselves. This event, which broke attendance and viewership milestones for a professional sporting event, is yet another example of his ability to deliver on the biggest stage. As long as Jake continues to exceed expectations, there will always be those who try to discredit his achievements. We embrace the doubt—it only fuels Jake to work harder and achieve greater success.”

Jake “The Problem Child” Paul and “Iron” Mike Tyson’s heavyweight boxing mega-event at AT&T Stadium has made history, becoming the highest-grossing combat sports gate outside of Las Vegas in U.S. history. Hosted by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the event generated $18,117,072 in gate revenue with an average ticket price of $304, smashing the previous Texas record of $9 million set by Canelo Álvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders in 2021. Over 72,300 fans attended, making it the highest-earning combat sports gate ever at AT&T Stadium.

The event also shattered streaming records, with over 65 million households tuning in, making Paul vs. Tyson the most-streamed sporting event in U.S. history. The co-main event between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano drew over 50 million viewers, becoming the most-watched women’s sporting event in U.S. history.

MVP provided over 4,500 complimentary tickets to veterans, students, and youth boxing gyms, with service organizations like the USO and the National Medal of Honor Museum in attendance. VIP seating sold out, attracting buyers from Texas and international locations like the UAE, Spain, and Brazil.

“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. “From setting the highest gate outside of Las Vegas in U.S. history for a combat sports event to becoming the most streamed sporting event in U.S. history, this event is a testament to the global impact of Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, and the incredible athletes on this card. 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. Congratulations and thank you to our team and our fans.”

The preliminary card was also streamed massively, with 4.8 million views on MVP’s YouTube channel and 5.4 million on Netflix Sports and Tudum. The event underscored MVP’s ability to deliver groundbreaking moments in sports entertainment.

Netflix Sued Over Streaming Quality During Mike Tyson Vs Jake Paul Fight

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul was the boxing event to end all boxing events. At least, in 2024. The former, a sports legend, and the latter, a social media sensation, did their parts to build up the hype. Unfortunately, things did not go smoothly come fight night. Fans were disappointed with the quality of the fight, and the ways in which both fighters seemed to be dancing around each other in later rounds. Well, those who got the chance to see the later rounds, that is. Netflix’s live stream buffered repeatedly during the fight, and now the platform is being sued!

The suit was filed by Ronald “Blue” Denton. The Florida native claimed that he struggled to watch the fight, along with thousands of others, due to the poor quality of Netflix’s stream. He specifically cited “legendary problems, such as: no access, streaming glitches, and buffering issues.” Denton feels that Netflix breached their contract agreement to stream the fight. He is consequently seeking unspecified damages from the streaming titan. Denton’s complaints should come as no surprise to anyone who tried to watch the Mike Tyson Vs. Jake Paul fight themselves.

Social media was swamped with complaints from users who couldn’t tell what was happening in real time. It got so bad, in fact, that Netflix CTO Elizabeth Stone sent an email to employees addressing the issues. She acknowledged that there were unforeseen problems with the stream, while at the same time noting that Netflix drew record breaking viewership during the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight. “We don’t want to dismiss the poor experience of some members,” Stone explained via email. “Know we have room for improvement, but still consider this event a huge success.”

While Mike Tyson nor Jake Paul have commented on the streaming debacle, other celebrities have weighed in. Howard Stern, for example, blasted Netflix and urged them to get things under control before their plan to stream football games on Christmas Day. Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul may have resulted in a lawsuit, but a botched NFL broadcast would be, in Stern’s mind, an even greater debacle. “You f**k people’s football, there is hell to pay,” the radio host told Sirius XM fans. “You better not. I don’t know how this stuff works, but you’ve got to make sure it works.”

Mike Tyson Hit With Massive Adult Website Offer Following Hilarious NSFW Mishap

Mike Tyson fought against Jake Paul this past weekend in a Netflix boxing match that had millions of people watching. Overall, it was a fight that a lot of people were dreading. Not because of the lack of entertainment, but because people did not want to see Tyson get destroyed by a younger man. Moreover, the fact that the younger man was Jake Paul made things a whole lot worse. However, in the end, it was not nearly as bad as some thought it would be.

Tyson was able to last all eight rounds and there were times where he appeared to be the better fighter. However, he simply could not withstand Paul’s stamina, which makes a whole lot of sense given the age factor at play here. Ultimately, it was an intriguing fight for a lot of reasons. We even got a viral moment before the fight in which Tyson’s bare butt was displayed for millions of fans. This has subsequently led to a lucrative offer from the Adult Film website, CamSoda.

Essentially, the brand is offering Tyson $250K to show off his butt for an hour during a live stream. “I understand this offer may be a far cry from what you just raked in from the fight, but let’s face it — maybe it’s time to hang up the glove,” Vice President of CamSoda Daryn Parker said. “I think this offer is the perfect way to still get in front of people and perform in a different, less strenuous way. Plus, you don’t have to worry about anyone biting or going after your ears.”

It is highly unlikely that Tyson is going to accept this offer. Ultimately, it feels extremely unserious. CamSoda is known for taking advantage of viral trends with these kinds of offers, and the Tyson situation is absolutely no exception. As for boxing, Tyson believes he will get in the ring again and may even fight Logan Paul. If anything, this will make a whole lot of money.

Jake Paul Calls Out Conor McGregor With MMA Fight Offer After Taking Down Mike Tyson

Jake Paul called out Conor McGregor on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday morning, after defeating the legendary boxer Mike Tyson on Friday night. In doing so, he offered to fight him in MMA with no weight class. “Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170lbs,” he wrote. “That’s never happening. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like how it used to be done. But you won’t.”

The post has been causing a stir on social media. In response, one fan joked: “You’re gonna pull out when you realize Conor is under 45 years old.” Another wrote: “Connor McGregor is done with fighting unfortunately. He took the money and he ran. Why don’t you fight an ACTIVE boxer around your age and height/weight? Oh, you did. It was Tommy Fury and he beat you.”

Jake Paul Has Some Strong Words For Gervonta Davis After Boxing Challenge

Jake Paul is on a very high horse after beating Mike Tyson in their long-awaited boxing match in Texas on Friday night (November 15). A lot of people within the combat sports world and outside of it continue to react to the showdown, whether in positive or negative ways. Also, this led to plenty of challenges and reflections on both boxers’ actual talents, such as superstar lightweight Gervonta Davis saying that he would “beat the brakes” off of Paul if they ever stepped into the ring together. When a reporter asked the content creator-turned-fighter about this, he let out a small chuckle, and his colleague posited that Davis needs Paul, presumably for attention, money, status, or a real challenge.

“Yeah, I mean, I’d be down,” Jake Paul responded to Gervonta Davis’ boasting. “Let’s run it. Like, I’d be super, super down. Is there a height limit in boxing? […] Yeah, [Conor McGregor] will never do that, though,” he answered when asked if he sees a bout with the skilled combatant happening in the future. “He knows. He knows way, way, way better than that. He’s not his own boss.” “One, he’s under contract. And two, he won’t do it,” Paul’s colleague added.

Jake Paul Responds To Gervonta Davis

With all this in mind, we know that Jake Paul must feel like he’s on top of the world after proving many of his haters wrong. A lot of people bet against him in his Mike Tyson fight, including a losing bet from Drake that cost him $355K. They say success is the best revenge, and since it’s a dish best served cold, we don’t doubt that the Ohio native will talk a lot of smack to anyone ahead of his next moves.

Meanwhile, we wonder how Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will talk about their matchup in the coming days, as they already provided some preliminary statements on the matter. Maybe they give each other the props they deserve or their feud continues beyond the boxing ring. One thing’s for sure, though: more and more challengers will want to step up to the plate. The only question is what common ground they will find to make it happen.
