Fox executive challenges Netflix's viewership claims for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight
Fox Sports executive Mike Mulvihill has questioned Netflix's claim that 60 million households watched the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. He noted that Netflix has not provided verified U.S. viewership numbers from Nielsen, which could clarify the audience size. Mulvihill suggested that Netflix's reported figures may not accurately reflect actual viewership, as they do not follow traditional measurement methods. He raised concerns about how Netflix calculates its numbers, implying they may inflate the audience count. Without third-party verification, the reliability of Netflix's viewership claims remains uncertain. Mulvihill's comments highlight the ongoing tension between traditional media metrics and new streaming platforms.
