Netflix reveals record-breaking Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson viewership

As an avid sports enthusiast with a knack for historical perspective, I must say that the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul bout was a spectacle like no other. The anticipation and hype surrounding this event were palpable, and it’s not every day we witness numbers that rival Super Bowl viewership!


The fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul attracted more than 60 million viewers worldwide, which is an incredibly large audience and contributed, in part, to the problems experienced with their live-streaming service.

Despite numerous postponements, including one due to an unexpected threat to Mike Tyson’s life, there was no doubt that fans were eagerly anticipating this long-awaited clash. I, for one, was more than ready to patiently wait for the moment when these two legends would finally step into the ring together.

According to a leaked internal memo from Netflix, they proudly announced that the number of viewers for the recent fight reached an impressive peak of 65 million. This figure is consistent with what Netflix has previously declared in public, stating that more than 60 million viewers tuned in to watch the event.

The figures are impressive, yet they don’t even come close to the 1.5 billion peak viewers claimed by FIFA for the 2022 World Cup. Nevertheless, they’re certainly noteworthy, unlike the match itself.

A significant number of people who watched the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul match felt let down because Iron Mike didn’t live up to the high expectations set for him. During the initial rounds, he didn’t display a strong resistance, allowing Jake Paul to dominate their encounter.

After his victory, Mike Tyson hinted at potentially fighting Logan Paul again. In response, Logan Paul said something along the lines of, “I’ll knock you out, Mike.

Nevertheless, Jake asserted that Tyson served as an “inspiration” for him after their match, and he continues to admire him greatly even though he defeated Tyson in the ring. Time will tell whether or not Iron Mike will return to the ring once more.

Only a privileged handful witnessed these events in real-time, as Netflix struggled to keep up with the live stream because an overwhelming number of people simultaneously tried to tune in. Given the enormous audience of 65 million viewers, it’s understandable that Netflix’s servers would be under immense pressure.

To add to this, Netflix verified that approximately 50 million viewers watched the Serrano vs Taylor match, which places it among the top female sports events viewed by the greatest number of people ever.
