Mike Tyson's boxing comeback against Jake Paul draws 120 million viewers but disappoints fans
Mike Tyson's return to boxing at age 58 against Jake Paul drew 120 million virtual viewers but ended in disappointment. Tyson lost by unanimous decision, landing only 18 punches compared to Paul's 78, leading to boos from the crowd of over 72,000. The fight, part of Netflix's live sports efforts, faced significant technical issues, with many viewers reporting buffering and frozen screens. This occurred during a popular undercard fight, causing frustration on social media and trending complaints about the streaming service. Despite the negative reviews, the event set a record for the largest boxing gate outside Las Vegas, generating nearly $18 million. Netflix aims to expand its live sports offerings, with plans to stream NFL games and WWE events in the coming months.
