Netflix announced on Saturday that the much-anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson was viewed by 60 million households globally, with the event reaching a peak of 65 million streams, as per their statement.

Nearly 50 million homes also tuned in live for the co-main event fight featuring Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano. The platform will release additional viewership stats, including total viewers, early on this week.

The bout between the 27-year-old social media influencer-turned-prize fighter Paul and the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, which Jake Paul won, was streamed live on Netflix.

In addition to household viewership, Netflix partnered with Joe Hand Promotions to distribute last night's sports spectacle to more than 6,000 bars and restaurants in the U.S., setting the record for commercial distribution of a combat sports event in the company's over 50-year history.
