Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul definitely won’t go down as the fight of the year, but it is almost certainly going to end up as the most watched combat sports event in 2024.

On Tuesday, Netflix revealed that Tyson vs. Paul topped out at over 108 million viewers for the boxing event. Meanwhile, the co-main event between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano becomes the single-most watched professional women’s sports event in the history of the United States with 47 million average minute audience as well as an estimated 74 million live viewers globally.

The Tyson vs. Paul fight peaked with 65 million concurrent streams, which set a new record as the most streamed global sports event in history. There were 38 million concurrent streams in the United States alone.

According to TVision — a company that measures TV viewing — 56 percent of all U.S. TV viewing between 12am and 1am EST was tuned into the Tyson vs. Paul fight.

The event was also No. 1 overall on Netflix for the week with 46.6 million views (total hours viewed/runtime) through Sunday night.

It’s a remarkable number for a fight that saw Tyson return to action as a professional boxer for the first time in nearly 20 years. The 58-year-old former heavyweight champion ultimately went eight rounds with Paul before losing a unanimous decision.

Paul constantly touted the selling power of the fight after he announced plans to face Tyson with Netflix signing on as the streaming partner for the event. Rather that doing pay-per-view, Tyson vs. Paul was available at no extra charge for Netflix subscribers.

Based on the most recent financial disclosure from the streaming giant, Netflix boasts 282 million global subscribers. That means over one-third of all Netflix subscribers tuned in to watch the Tyson vs. Paul fight.

Paul’s Most Valuable Promotion’s also announced the final live gate figures for the event held at AT&T Stadium just outside Dallas with total revenue reaching $18,117,072, which sets a new record for combat sports events in Texas. The event is also now the second-biggest live gate for any boxing or MMA event outside of Las Vegas.
