Austin, Nov 18 (UNI) Media giant Netflix has said 60 million households worldwide tuned in live to see American boxing legend Mike Tyson and blogger Jake Paul fight, in the streaming giant’s first foray into live boxing.
The event, which was free for subscribers, is being hailed by the tech giant as a “record breaking night”, according to BBC.
The fight , which took place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, former world heavyweight champion Tyson, 58, was beaten by YouTuber-turned-fighter Paul, 27.
However, fans hoping to watch have expressed their anger and disappointment after some reported Netflix crashed repeatedly throughout the fight.
But there was also criticism from those who were able to tune in, with many saying they found the boxing match lacklustre.
The fight attracted a huge amount of media coverage. Tyson is one of the most famous boxers on the planet, while Paul drew in a younger audience.
