Most Valuable Promotions

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) is a boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company, established in 2021 by American professional boxer and influencer Jake Paul and his adviser Nakisa Bidarian. They primarily focus on boxing events and athlete management and are most famous for co-promoting the Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor trilogy in partnership with Matchroom Boxing, as well as hosting the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout individually.

History
In 2021, the promotion completed its first signing, with Puerto Rican boxer and seven-division world champion Amanda Serrano joining their stable. Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano, promoted by MVP with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing which was billed as "For History", took place in 2022 and was the first women's boxing match to headline Madison Square Garden. and Event of the Year by The Ring. The first event was streamed on the 26th of May and it took place in the Caribe Royale Orlando in Orlando, Florida with a fight featuring Ashton Sylve against Adam Kipenga being the main event. Sylve won the fight against Kipenga by unanimous decision. In 2024, MVP, with Netflix, promoted Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Paul emerged as the winner with a unanimous decision, with 65 million simultaneous viewers. The fight drew some criticism due to the significant age difference. The 31-year age difference between Tyson and Paul is the largest age difference in professional boxing history, much larger than the previous record of 24 years between Mike DiBiase (25) and Archie Moore (49), with Tyson being 58 and Paul 27 years old respectively at the time of the fight. Another point of criticism was how viewers watching on Netflix were met by "buffering issues", preventing many from watching. The co-feature of the 2024 card was the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano rematch for the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring female light-welterweight titles, with Taylor winning by unanimous decision and retaining the title, however there was some controversy post-fight as Serrano accused Taylor of intentionally headbutting her during the fight. Taylor was deducted a point in the eighth round after previous warnings from the referee for headbutts. Later however, Serrano retracted her accusation, tweeting "In no way should I ever had said she did it purposely, it's her style that makes for them." Taylor's responded by saying "I certainly wasn't fighting dirty. It gets rough in there. It was an absolute slugfest, a war." Amanda Serrano signed a lifetime contract with MVP in March 2025. Besides competing for the promotion, Serrano will later serve as a chairwoman for the company and look after the promotion's women's boxing initiatives. This development was prior to her next fight which was held on July 11, 2025, the latest in her trilogy against Katie Taylor. The bout took place in Madison Square Garden, and was promoted by MVP. In April 2025, MVP also signed the 27 year old Ellie Scotney, who holds the IBF, WBO and The Ring super bantamweight titles. On November 17, it was announced that MVP would promote Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua, set to take place on December 19, 2025 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, and to be broadcast on Netflix. ==List of events==
