ARLINGTON, Texas — Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) announced the undercards for the highly-anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson / Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 2 co-main event.
The fights will happen at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20 and be exclusively streamed on Netflix. Any Netflix subscriber will be able to watch this live event without any additional cost – no pay-per-view.
Tyson and Paul are reportedly earning tens of millions of dollars just for participating in the fight. However, the city of Arlington is hoping to be the biggest winner after the bell rings. Few dollar figures surrounding the Netflix-carried fight have been disclosed, but state records give a glimpse at the incentives involved in bringing the fight to Arlington.
The state of Texas and city of Arlington agreed to spend about $1.8 million in total incentives to offset the costs of bringing the event to Texas, according to a document from the state's Event Trust Funds program. The city itself will likely contribute about $247,000 and the state could pay about $1.5 million. Those incentives could change based on final attendance numbers.
Netflix and MVP announced three fights on the undercard: H2O Sylve (11-0, 9 KOs) vs. Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield (17-0, 12 KOs), former WBC middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (53-6-1, 34 KOs) vs. UK UFC star Darren Till in Till’s professional boxing debut, and India’s number one boxer and MVP’s first international signee, Neeraj Goyat (18-4-2, 8 KOs) vs. Brazil’s multi-talented superstar Whindersson Nune (2-2-1, 1 KO).
The undercard announcement comes just days after Paul, Tyson, Taylor and Serrano faced off for the first of two times this week in New York. Tickets for the fight will go on sale to the general public earlier that same day.
