Famous boxer Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions may not be linked to Netflix exclusively for long. A recent statement by MVP’s co-runner Nakisa Bidarian suggested that while Netflix is their priority collaboration, potential partnerships with a number of major media companies like Amazon and Fox Corporation need to be witnessing what they have been doing, especially with the recent MMA cards. This may or may not have indicated that the promotion might be looking for partnerships outside of the Netflix ecosystem. 

The reveal has sparked speculation as to where Jake Paul’s future boxing events can be held next. 

Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions, officially launched their foray into mixed martial arts with MVP MMA 1 at Intuit Dome. It was highlighted by Ronda Rousey’s 17-second submission of fellow women’s MMA pioneer Gina Carano. While Netflix hosted the first MVP MMA fight card, Bidarian said MVP is not bound to doing shows only on Netflix. 

"My hope is that we do it with Netflix, but there's also Amazon, Fox, and many other players who hopefully saw what we did tonight and are excited about the opportunity to work with us," Bidarian told ESPN. 

MVP does have a long-term relationship with Netflix, but Bidarian said the deal is structured to allow MVP flexibility. This is because the boxing side of the operation works with Netflix and recently announced a multiyear deal with ESPN for the MVPW. For context, Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions has a close strategic relationship with Netflix. They have co-promoted massive global combat sports events together. This included the 2024 mega-fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson and the historic Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua bout in late 2025, as well.

As Paul continues expanding MVP’s reach, the promotion’s growing ties with major streaming platforms have positioned it as a rising force. 

Jake Paul co-founded Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) to create a new type of boxing promotion. It is centred around entertainment, digital reach, and high-profile fight events, while taking a renewed stance on the fighters' importance and attention to them. Since its launch, MVP has promoted several major boxing cards and helped Paul establish himself as one of the sport’s biggest pay-per-view draws.

MVP also received added mainstream exposure through its partnership with Netflix. It brought live boxing events to a worldwide streaming audience. The deal also signalled Netflix’s increasing foray into live sports programming and a much larger international platform for MVP. The deal has further sparked discussion about the future of boxing broadcasts in the streaming age. Meanwhile, comments from Nakisa Bidarian suggest that the promotion is staying flexible as it continues to grow.

With companies like Amazon and Fox Corporation now entering the fray, MVP appears to be more interested in expanding its reach across multiple platforms, rather than being tied to a single broadcaster.
