Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in an eight-round boxing match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday. This event marked Netflix's first live boxing event, with Paul winning by unanimous decision. Judges scored the fight 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73. The match was originally scheduled for July but was postponed due to Tyson's medical issues. Both fighters wore 14-ounce gloves, which is heavier than the standard 10-ounce gloves used in heavyweight bouts. Tyson, 58, last fought professionally in 2005. This event is part of Netflix's strategy to expand into live sports, complementing its existing content. The company recently reported strong financial results, with revenue of $9.825 billion for the third quarter, a 15% increase from the previous year.
