Paul’s unanimous-decision victory over Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday has netted a gate of $18,117,072, a number that Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions says shatters the U.S. record for a boxing or MMA event held outside of Las Vegas.

Netflix says it will reveal further viewing figures on Tuesday and Most Valuable Promotions hinted there could be more Jake Paul fights streamed on the platform.

Their fight is being promoted by Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, and co-founder Nakisa Bidarian says a Netflix deal was agreed before Tyson was chosen as the opponent.

Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, said the hope is that tens of millions of people tune in to Netflix for the fight.

The event featuring the Paul-Tyson fight, taking place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is a partnership between Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions, a company that Paul co-founded.
