The highly anticipated bout drew 65 million concurrent streams but faced criticism for underwhelming action and technical issues.

The November 15, 2024 fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson set a new Netflix record with 65 million concurrent streams and 60 million households tuning in globally.
Despite its commercial success, the fight failed to surpass historic viewership records, such as Muhammad Ali’s fights, which drew billions of viewers worldwide.
Jake Paul won the fight via unanimous decision, but many fans criticized the lack of action and Tyson’s limited performance, with the 58-year-old landing only 18 punches.
