This Friday, November 15, Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) will take on his biggest challenge yet when he takes on boxing legend Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas . The event could be the biggest in boxing in terms of viewership, attendance and gate sales.
Whatever your opinion of Jake Paul, one thing that is undeniable is that he is a marketing genius. The Youtuber turned boxer now holds one of the biggest stages to showcase his talents, Netflix.
A streaming service with global reach in over 190 countries and an estimated 270 million paid subscribers. Jake Paul and Most Valuable Promotions co-promoter Nakisa Bidarian are also aiming to break the US indoor boxing attendance record set by Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Sanders at 73,126.
The record was set at this stadium in May 2021. If Jake can produce the numbers he is targeting, it will be a truly amazing achievement. He’s already made history with a remarkable $2 million fan experience package that was sold recently. The ticket was purchased by TorkLaw, a national personal injury law firm.
The 3-day package includes the following:
1. Exclusive Ringside Access:
- (2) Ringside Apron seats and (4) Row 1 Ringside seats
- Post-fight in-ring experience with photo opportunity
2. Unmatched VIP Experiences:
- Position on stage during ceremonial weigh-in
- Signed boxing gloves by Jake Paul and Mike Tyson (1 glove per seat) or access to the VIP lounge at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory for weigh-in and press conference, complete with top-notch food and beverage service
3. Meet and greet with legends:
- Pre-fight locker room visit with Jake Paul and Mike Tyson for two guests, including a photo opportunity
- Post-Weigh-In Meet & Greet with Jake Paul, Mike Tyson and other professional fighters
4. Luxury transport and accommodation:
- Private VIP entrance for all events
- Two nights luxury accommodation at the Loews Arlington Hotel
- Private VIP Green Room on Fight Night with an open bar and all-inclusive menu
- Dedicated host/concierge and personal security escort for the duration of the event
A fan package of 2 million dollars for a Jake Paul fight is truly remarkable. The event itself will feature entertaining bouts, none more so than the highly anticipated rematch between two of the best female boxers in the world, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.
The two had an epic match in Madison Square Garden, where Taylor undoubtedly won by split decision. The much-anticipated clash will be featured as the co-main event and should be the highlight of the night, hanging as big as the first one. There are different views on the main event.
Some believe a 58-year-old legend should not get in the ring with a 27-year-old. The great Bernard Hopkins boxed competitively until he was 51 when he retired. In his last match against Joe Smith, he initially decided it would be his last match and would retire regardless of the outcome. He suffered a bitter defeat by an 8th round knockout.
Will Tyson suffer a similar fate? Or is he going to score one himself? The unpredictability of the game may be why so many want to tune in.
