As a longtime sports enthusiast who has witnessed countless battles between titans in the ring, I must say that the recent spectacle between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson was nothing short of electrifying! The fact that 108 million people worldwide tuned in to watch this event is a testament to the enduring allure of boxing.
Netflix is boasting about having a massive, multi-million viewer base worldwide for the November 15th boxing event featuring Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
108 million people globally are reported to have tuned in to watch boxer Paul, a social media sensation previously known for something else, defeat the 58-year-old ex-heavyweight champion. This figure is derived from viewership statistics within the U.S. provided by analytics company TVision and Netflix’s own data for international viewers. Two days ago, Netflix announced that approximately one in five of its subscription holders worldwide (around 60 million households) watched the fight, with a peak of 65 million simultaneous streams at once.
Before the Paul-Tyson match, a highly anticipated title fight between women’s super lightweight champion Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano took place (with Taylor winning a contentious unanimous decision). This event attracted 74 million viewers worldwide, among which 47 million were from the United States. According to TVision’s average minute audience data (similar to linear TV measurement), it was the most-watched professional women’s sporting event in U.S. history.
Over the course of three days (Friday through Sunday), the total number of views on Netflix for this particular event amounted to 46.6 million, setting a new record as the highest viewership for any Netflix live presentation lasting that duration.
Even with some technical hiccups causing buffering issues and audio troubles during the matches, I still managed to draw a crowd.
The Paul-Tyson fight was the most-watched sports event online in history; however, it didn’t surpass some massive global sports broadcasts, despite the fact that viewing figures on a global scale can be uncertain. For instance, the NFL stated that approximately 186 million people worldwide watched Super Bowl LVIII in February (with about 123.7 million of those being domestic viewers). Additionally, FIFA asserted that over 1 billion viewers tuned in to watch the 2022 men’s World Cup final between Argentina and France. Another significant heavyweight fight, between Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua in 2017, also boasted a global audience in the hundreds of millions, with estimates suggesting as many as 500 million viewers worldwide watched it.
