The Netflix-streamed boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has become a hot topic of discussion. While the event attracted significant attention, it also sparked controversy, with some critics suggesting the fight appeared one-sided and even scripted, according to reports.
The bout featured 27-year-old social media star-turned-boxer Jake Paul against 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Paul emerged victorious, but questions surrounding the match’s authenticity have fueled debates among fans and analysts.
The event also included a historic co-main event between Ireland’s lightweight champion Katie Taylor and Puerto Rico’s featherweight champion Amanda Serrano, which Netflix reported was watched by nearly 50 million households. “The bout is likely to be the most-watched professional women’s sporting event in U.S. history,” the streaming platform stated.
Despite the success, technical difficulties marred the experience for some viewers. Outage tracking website Downdetector reported that over 90,000 users faced issues with the live stream at its peak.
As the discussions continue, the fight remains a focal point for both its entertainment value and the controversies surrounding it.
