The official Nielson ratings have now come in on various things and Netflix experienced huge growth as a company due to boxing with this, clearly.
The number one worldwide streaming giant looks set to do another boxing event again, to say the least, after the following:
That’s huge not just for Netflix but modern day streaming as a service, for any company, network or broadcaster worldwide, but big for boxing.
Boxing captures the world’s attention still when done right.
Okay the fight wasn’t great but the event had some other great boxing action, which worked.
Tyson nearly died and barely made it to the fight and Paul struggled with injury for months before the fight too.
The boxing is dead brigade will never return after that, boxing is growing all the time internationally in new markets at a rapid rate.
Boxing did the above — not the UFC.
Netflix is the biggest streaming company in the world, making it now the de facto biggest broadcaster, network and modern day TV company on Earth now.
And boxing did the above on it.
Let that sink in.
Netflix is now at over 300 million subscribers worldwide and was driven by the highest signs ups ever in a quarter (18.9 million) in the last quarter of 2024 due to Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.
That’s the power of Mike Tyson, even still.
What a win for the sport.
