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.

Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions declined to reveal the financial terms, though Bidarian said Tyson and Paul are each being paid in the eight-figure range.

But despite his critics, Serrano – who is signed to Paul's Most Valuable Promotions - says he is "misunderstood" and feels he deserves more credit for championing women's boxing.

“I’m just happy that he knew — and I told his wife this — that every single time I saw him I told him I loved him,” said Allen, whose career achievements include a Heisman Trophy, season and Super Bowl most valuable player honors and a bronze bust in Canton, Ohio.
