Paul vs. Tyson Breaks Texas Gate Record

Millions will be watching Paul vs. Tyson on Netflix - the streaming service's first live sporting event -live from AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. There was doubt online in the days leading up to the fight that the venue would be filled, but the numbers says otherwise with the event's gate surpassing $17.8M, according to a press release from Most Valuable Promotions.

Making History

The $17.8M gate sets a new combat sports record, making Paul vs. Tyson the biggest boxing gate outside of Las Vegas in U.S. history. The gate beats out Canelo Alvarez, who held the previous state record for a $9M gate against Billy Joe Saunders in 2021.

Outside of UFC 205: Conor McGregor vs. Eddie Alvarez, Paul vs. Tyson reportedly did a better gate than any non-Las Vegas UFC event.
