It’s fight week for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.

AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, will host one of the most anticipated boxing events in recent history on Friday night. For those unable to attend the Paul vs. Tyson/Serrano vs. Taylor II mega-event in Arlington, the event will be broadcast exclusively on Netflix for all streaming service subscribers.

While the fight will not be available on traditional pay-per-view, some bars and restaurants have been authorized with DirecTV to show the full fight card. So if you don’t want to remember another streaming login or still want to watch the action with a crowd, there are a few watch parties in North Texas.
