Netflix says the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight was ‘the most-streamed sporting event ever’

Of those simultaneous streams, 38 million were from households in the US, and the TVision data says it accounted for 56 percent of TV viewing between midnight and 1AM that day.

Meanwhile, the match between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano broke the record for the “most-watched professional women’s sports event in US history,” with 47 million average viewers nationwide, according to Netflix. Even with record viewership numbers, many NFL and WWE fans are concerned about whether Netflix can handle the large audiences tuning in for future live events.
