Overview
- The fight is set for Saturday, June 13, at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona and will stream exclusively on DAZN as a pay‑per‑view event.
- DAZN’s PPV price has been reported at roughly $41.99–$79.99 and the service is promoting a first‑month free subscription offer for new buyers who purchase the event.
- Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez is moving up from super flyweight where he holds the WBA, WBC and WBO titles to try to win a third division crown at bantamweight.
- Antonio Vargas was elevated to WBA bantamweight champion after Seiya Tsutsumi was designated champion in recess because of injury, so Vargas holds the belt without beating Tsutsumi in the ring.
- Rodriguez is a heavy favorite on the books (DraftKings around −2500) and promoters say a Rodriguez win could trigger plans for a larger Rodriguez‑Inoue bout with reported interest from Saudi organizers and Netflix.
