Introduction to Most Valuable Promotions
Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), co-founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, has made significant contributions to the combat sports scene. The organization was behind the high-profile fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson in November 2024, which shattered numerous records.
Record-Breaking Fight
The Paul vs. Tyson match set a new record for the most live-streamed sports event in history. Now, MVP is gearing up for another remarkable fight card on Netflix.
Upcoming All-Female Card
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are set to face each other for the third time in a historic event that will feature an entirely female main card. This groundbreaking fight marks the first all-women’s card at Madison Square Garden, and Bidarian shared insights with Newsweek Sports about the event.
Potential Record-Breaking Moment
“The countdown episode for Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano just dropped on Netflix, and it’s a must-watch,” Bidarian stated. “We anticipate breaking several records next week, including three undisputed championships in one night—an unprecedented feat in boxing.” He also highlighted the financial milestones for female athletes, noting that Taylor and Serrano will likely earn more than the winners of mixed-gender events like Wimbledon.
Significance of the Event
Bidarian expressed excitement about producing a landmark event, stating, “In 2022, Taylor and Serrano were the first women to headline Madison Square Garden. Now, three years later, they are leading an extraordinary lineup of female athletes.” He acknowledged Madison Square Garden’s ongoing support for women’s boxing.
Collaboration and Challenges
Regarding the challenges of organizing an all-title fight card, Bidarian emphasized the importance of collaboration with organizations like the WBO, WBC, WBA, and IBF. “It takes time and open-minded partnerships, but the fighters themselves also play a crucial role in creating these opportunities,” he added.
Future of MVP
Talking about MVP’s ambitions, Bidarian said, “We’re just beginning. Being mentioned alongside top promoters is an accomplishment for a company that’s less than four years old. We have much more to offer in women’s boxing, and we’re excited about continuing our partnership with Netflix.”
