Netflix has officially released the numbers for just how many people tuned into the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight … and it is staggering.
According to the streaming giant … last night’s big live event drew in a massive 60 million viewers globally … peaking at 65 million concurrent streams.
The Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight was viewed by 50 million households globally … making it likely to be the most watched professional women’s sporting event in US history, so says Netflix.
Of course … that gigantic audience also meant headaches for Netflix … with it being widely reported there were viewers having issues, such as the app freezing or crashing.
Just prior to the streamer releasing viewership numbers — something pretty rare for Netflix — Tyson broke his silence about his loss to Paul … saying he’s actually feeling like a winner.
The boxing legend took to X to share more thoughts on his comeback bout … and, while some might be disappointed with how it all shook out, Tyson says he’s got no regrets — ’cause it’s a situation where even participating in the brawl felt like victory.
Tyson explains he nearly died in June … revealing he needed eight blood transfusions and losing 25 pounds during this difficult period.

Tyson looked shaky after a couple of two-minute rounds with Paul … and, Jake has already admitted he took it easy on Tyson down the stretch because he worried about seriously injuring him.
Nevertheless … Tyson had plenty of people cheering for him to be in the ring one last time … and it’s evident by the numbers Iron Mike is still considered by most to be among the boxing GOATs.
