Yesterday, probably the most popular show in the history of Netflix, the Tyson-Paul boxing match, went down yesterday, which according to the streaming service was watched by 65 million people, that is, they would have only watched it sometimes.
It’s a strange perversion of humanity that we like to watch two (or more) wild strangers beat each other in the head under conditions that are considered sportive at best. It is no coincidence that the linear viewership record of Netflix’s existence so far was brought by a boxing match.
Namely, the weekend’s Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul’s game, which at the peak was streamed by 65 million households worldwide, thus beating last year’s Christmas NFL games, which were watched by “only” 30 million people each.

In the fifth station of the series on December 12, we will present the AWS CodeCatalyst platform and the open source Dagger.
Netflix probably didn’t expect such a large interest either, as the servers at this point already had a hard time keeping up with what was happening in the ring: more than a hundred thousand people complained about Netflix’s stuttering, buffering stream on Downdetector.
Netflix itself admitted that the quality of the broadcast may have left something to be desired for some, regardless, the company sees the event as a huge success, which by the way was not far ahead of last year’s record holder, the final of the Cricket World Cup, which was watched by 60 million households at the same time.
