Whether you're tuning in on Netflix or showing out in person, whether you're team Paul or team Tyson, or whether you're a lifelong boxing fan or watching your first fight, you're not going to want to miss this event."
During a livestream on March 8, 2024, Adin Ross claimed that Jake Paul was "getting a lot of hate" for the upcoming event. Referring to the 27-year-old as his "brother," the Kick ambassador said:
"Guys, Jake is getting a lot of hate for this, and I think it's really funny because not a lot of people can have an opportunity to fight Mike Tyson. And you guys cannot tell me you're all not watching this. So, you guys can say what you want about Jake. My brother Jake is a f**king real fighter and he's going against one of the hardest-hitting people of all time, and we're all going to tune in to watch."
