There’s no doubt about it. Friday night’s Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight means big money for everyone involved.
How big? For starters, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has a capacity of 80,000 people who will be there in person to watch the fight live. Also, there are a variety of VIP packages – complete with ringside seats – ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. And then there’s the one-of-a-kind MVP Owner’s Experience, which is valued at a whopping $2 million.
And that doesn’t even include the revenue generated from the fight being broadcast live on Netflix.
Of course, the participants in the main event will be taking home their fair share as well.
