“From setting the highest gate outside of Las Vegas in U.S. history for a combat sports event to becoming the most streamed sporting event in U.S. history, this event is a testament to the global impact of Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, and the incredible athletes on this card,” MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said in a statement.

The bout is by far the Los Gatos, Calif.-based streaming giant’s biggest sports event yet, and will probably be its highest-profile effort in live streaming to date.

The retired Army officer suggests that staging the world’s largest sports event isn’t so different.

That group putting on the $7-billion sports event, LA28, said it was still $1 billion short of hoped-for sponsorships last year, but it has not released new financial details recently.

Costing £800m, it was the most expensive sports event hosted in the UK since the 2012 Olympics.
