Jake Paul and Mike Tyson boxing match draws record viewership despite technical issues

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson faced off in a highly anticipated boxing match on Friday night in Arlington, Texas. The event experienced technical issues, including audio problems during the broadcast, but still drew significant attention. Despite mixed reactions to the fight itself, which saw Tyson endure all eight rounds against the younger Paul, viewership numbers were impressive. The stream peaked at record levels, making it one of the most-watched events in recent history. Netflix reported that the event doubled the previous viewership record in Texas, highlighting the strong interest in celebrity boxing matches. This success comes despite earlier backlash and a mid-summer postponement.
