Paul vs Tyson

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was a professional boxing match between YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul and former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson. 



Jake Paul and Mike Tyson‘s heavyweight boxing match was viewed by an estimated 60 million households globally, peaking at 65 million “concurrent streams,” according to data shared by Netflix.

More data will be released in the coming days, including total viewer numbers, the streamer said. Also, Netflix said 50 million households globally tuned in live for the co-main event of Serrano vs. Taylor 2, which the streamer predicted would “likely be the most watched professional women’s sporting event in US history” once final results are tabulated.

As for the main card, after eight rounds, Paul, 27, claimed victory over former world heavyweight champion Tyson, 58, in a unanimous decision.

Per Netflix, Paul vs. Tyson and Taylor vs. Serrano 2 repped “the biggest boxing gate outside of Las Vegas in US history,” as the Paul vs. Tyson gate has surpassed $18 million, “double the previous Texas gate record for combat sports in both boxing and MMA, topping Canelo Álvarez’s record of $9 million.”

Aside from Paul vs. Tyson, the main card also featured a highly-praised rematch between undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor and unified featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano, which saw Taylor once again defeat Serrano by a controversial unanimous decision. Taylor previously won the initial bout between the two via a split decision. Other fights included one between Mario Barrios and Abel Ramos for the WBC welterweight world title that ended in a split draw, and Neeraj Goyat defeating Whindersson Nunes via unanimous decision.

The event was the latest in Netflix’s push into live events, following stand up specials from Chris Rock and Joe Rogan, golf tournament The Netflix Cup and the tennis event The Netflix Slam, and a “Love Is Blind” Season 4 reunion special among others. Next up, the streamer will air two live NFL games on Christmas Day 2024, while WWE’s flagship weekly live show “Raw” is moving to Netflix in January.

Exact comparisons of Paul vs. Tyson to other Netflix live events in terms of viewership is difficult, as Netflix does not typically release regular ratings information beyond their weekly Global Top 10 lists.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona

 Barcelona demolished Real Madrid at the Bernabeu to take a six-point lead in La Liga. Hansi Flick’s side were rampant at the home of their fierce rivals, frustrating Kylian Mbappe with their well-organised offside trap in the first half and then striking four times after the break. Robert Lewandowski scored in the 54th and 56th minutes, his 13th and 14th goals in La Liga this season, to put Barcelona in control. Then Lamine Yamal scored his first Clasico goal in the 77th minute before the in-form Raphinha added a fourth with six minutes left to play. The result takes Barcelona to 30 points at the top of the table, six clear of Madrid. Here, our writers analyse the key talking points. How Barcelona caught Mbappe offside again and again As many expected, Barcelona’s offside trap was a key talking point in the first half. Barca caught Bayern Munich offside just twice in the first half in midweek, but they quadrupled that number in the opening 45 minutes at the Bernabeu, with Kylian...
