Jake Paul defeats Mike Tyson in Netflix's first live boxing event watched by 60 million households

Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in a highly publicized boxing match that attracted 60 million households on Netflix, marking it as one of the most-watched combat sports events ever. Tyson, 58, fought all eight rounds but lost by unanimous decision. The co-main event featured Amanda Serrano against Katie Taylor, drawing nearly 50 million viewers, potentially making it the most-watched women’s fight in history. However, many viewers experienced streaming issues during the event. The fight generated over $18 million in ticket sales, the highest for a combat sports event in Texas, with 72,300 fans attending at AT&T Stadium. This was Netflix's first live boxing event, and the success may lead to more combat sports programming in the future.
