Netflix shared its impressive viewership numbers for the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul event, but that’s only part of the story.
According to a press release from Netflix and MVP Promotions, the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul match produced record-breaking viewership numbers. Unfortunately, many subscribers may not grade their experience highly.
Paul won a unanimous decision over the boxing legend after eight less-than-tense rounds. However, most of the fights on the show’s undercard were strong, especially the co-main event, in which Katie Taylor won another close decision over Amanda Serrano.
Some of the viewership numbers won’t be available until next week, but according to the information provided, the show was watched in 60 million households, and the main event peaked at 65 million concurrent streams.
The co-main event was watched by 50 million, making it the most-watched professional women’s sports event in US history. Joe Hand Promotions reported a record for commercial distribution of a combat sports event. The organization facilitated the event’s distribution to more than 6,000 bars and restaurants across the country.
From a pure impressions and visibility standpoint, the #PaulTyson hashtag was the No.
