Paul vs Tyson fight broke several records

The Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight broke several records. Proceeds from ticket sales totaled $18 million, beating the previous best in the state of Texas by two times.

The Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson boxing gala took place last Friday. The event took place in Arlington, Texas, USA. According to preliminary information, about 65 million people watched the peacetime duel simultaneously via the Netflix platform . Accurate results on the total viewership of the event are expected to be much higher and will be published in a few days.

Noteworthy is the record from gate receipts, ticket sales and VIP box passes exceeded $18 million. This marks a record if we take boxing events held outside Las Vegas. Above that, of course, it is also a new record for the state of Texas, which until now was 9 million achieved during one of Canelo Alvarez‘s fights.

There were 72,000 fans in the stands during the Paul vs Tyson fight. Since the second fight of the evening at this gala was the duel between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, this will be considered the official audience record for a women’s boxing fight. Nearly 50 million people watched this fight via Netflix, which is also the best viewing record as far as professional women’s sports in the US in general is concerned.

A set of accurate data is expected to be released in the coming days, and since the Paul vs. Tyson fight can still be watched from replay on Netflix, it can be expected that a +7 viewership score that covers the entire week could yield an impressive result.
