Jake Paul believes the massive audience for his fight against Mike Tyson will never be matched.
“I brought boxing and combat sports to Netflix and had the most-viewed sporting event streamed ever,” Paul recently said in an interview with Front Office Sports. “And I don’t think it’ll ever be broken.”
Netflix estimated that the November 2024 fight drew an average minute audience of 108 million viewers globally. Viewership peaked at 65 million concurrent streams and roughly 60 million household viewers. The streaming giant credited the U.S. audience alone with 38 million concurrent streams.
But those figures came with a significant caveat.
Unlike ratings for most major U.S. sporting events, Netflix’s global audience figures were not independently audited by an established measurement company, such as Nielsen. The U.S. figures were compiled with help from advertising technology firm TVision.
