Netflix's boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul attracts record 108 million viewers

Netflix's first live sports event, the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, attracted 108 million viewers globally, making it the most-streamed sporting event ever. This surpassed the viewership of Super Bowl 56, which had 101.1 million U.S. viewers. The co-main event featured Katie Taylor defeating Amanda Serrano, setting a record as the most-watched women's sporting event in U.S. history. However, both main fights faced criticism for being unexciting, particularly the Paul-Tyson match. Netflix plans to continue live sports broadcasts, with WWE's Raw debuting on January 6 and two NFL games scheduled for Christmas Day. The success of this boxing event indicates strong interest in Netflix's sports programming.
