As a seasoned movie reviewer with a lifelong passion for the big screen and a knack for predicting box office success, I must say that Netflix has truly outdone itself with this latest production – the much-anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. With an estimated 60 million households tuning in globally, it’s safe to say that this was no ordinary movie premiere, but a full-blown cultural event.
Approximately 60 million homes worldwide tuned in to watch the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, with a staggering 65 million viewers watching simultaneously at its peak, as per data provided by Netflix.
Additional data will become available soon, encompassing total viewership figures, as the streamer announced. Furthermore, Netflix shared that approximately 50 million households worldwide tuned in live for the co-main event of Serrano vs. Taylor 2. The streamer anticipates this event could potentially set a new record as the most watched professional women’s sporting event in U.S. history once all results are compiled.
Regarding the primary bout, following eight hard-fought rounds, Paul, aged 27, emerged victorious against the previous world heavyweight champion Tyson, who is now 58 years old, via a unanimous decision.
According to Netflix, the fights between Paul vs. Tyson and Taylor vs. Serrano 2 have been recognized as setting a new US record for the largest boxing gate outside of Las Vegas, with the Paul vs. Tyson fight earning over $18 million. This figure surpasses the previous Texas record for combat sports in both boxing and MMA by double, breaking Canelo Álvarez’s record of $9 million.
From a passionate moviegoer’s perspective, let me tell you about an electrifying event I recently watched unfold. Beyond the highly-anticipated Paul vs. Tyson showdown, the main card was also graced by a much-hyped rematch between undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor and unified featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano. In this sequel, Taylor managed to secure another victory over Serrano, although the decision was met with controversy, much like their first encounter where Taylor edged out Serrano via a split decision. The night also saw Mario Barrios and Abel Ramos face off for the WBC welterweight world title, resulting in a split draw. Lastly, Neeraj Goyat triumphed over Whindersson Nunes after a unanimous decision. Quite a thrilling cinematic experience, if I may say so myself!
The occasion marked another step in Netflix’s expansion into live events, which includes stand-up specials by Chris Rock and Joe Rogan, the golf tournament known as The Netflix Cup, the tennis event called The Netflix Slam, a reunion special for “Love Is Blind” Season 4, among others. Coming soon, Netflix plans to broadcast two live NFL games on Christmas Day in 2024, and WWE’s popular weekly live show “Raw” will move to Netflix starting January.
It’s challenging to make precise comparisons between Paul vs. Tyson and other Netflix live events in terms of viewership, since Netflix rarely shares detailed ratings data, only providing weekly top-ten lists on a global scale.
It’s worth noting that Joe Rogan’s special had been listed on the English language TV Global Top 10 for two consecutive weeks, racking up 2.5 million views in its debut week and 2.9 million views in its second week before falling off the list. In contrast, Dave Chappelle’s special appeared only once on the Global Top 10 chart, which was prior to Netflix starting to report total views instead of just hours viewed. During that one week, Chappelle’s special garnered 17.79 million hours watched. Given that Netflix defines a view as the total hours watched divided by the runtime (in hours), this translates to around 15.47 million actual views. Events such as the “Love Is Blind” live reunion did not manage to make it onto either the Global Top 10 or US Top 10 lists.
During the Paul-Tyson Friday fight broadcast – Netflix’s largest live production yet – viewers reported numerous technical difficulties such as lagging and buffering. In fact, these issues were also experienced during previous Netflix live events. For instance, the “Love Is Blind” reunion special, which was intended to air live, didn’t become available on the platform until the following day.
