**Historic Boxing Event Breaks Records Outside Las Vegas**

In a groundbreaking achievement for the sport of boxing, more than 70,000 spectators are expected to fill AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday night for the highly anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. This notable event, promoted by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), has generated an impressive $17.8 million in ticket sales, breaking previous records for events held outside of Las Vegas.

AT&T Stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys, boasts a seating capacity of 80,000 and is set to host this monumental bout, which has garnered unprecedented interest and revenue. The previous non-Las Vegas record was held by the 2021 match between Canelo Álvarez and Billy Joe Saunders at the same venue, which brought in $9 million in gate receipts.

This fight not only highlights the continuing rise of Jake Paul, a 27-year-old YouTube influencer-turned-boxer, but also marks the return of the 58-year-old boxing legend, Mike Tyson. Scheduled to air on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET, the match is available free to subscribers, a significant shift as the platform delves deeper into broadcasting live sports content. Netflix, with more than 283 million paid members worldwide, stands to benefit from this venture into live sports, offering an alternative to the traditional pay-per-view model.

The event also includes one of the most awaited women's boxing rematches in history, featuring undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor against unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano. Adding to the excitement, MVP has reported the complete sell-out of its premium packages, including a $2 million VIP experience and 375 high-end ringside seats.

This fight rivals notable past events, as the largest fight gate outside of Nevada, second only to the legendary 2015 Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao match in Las Vegas, which amassed over $72 million in ticket sales. According to Jake Paul, this landmark achievement is a testament to the event’s wide-reaching appeal, emphasizing the significant demand for this historic boxing showdown.

Tickets for Friday's bout range from approximately $58 to $1,500 on StubHub, reflecting the high anticipation and exceptional interest in this historic clash of generations.
