According to the post of Netflix,

60 millions household has watch it, including myself, so that is already a record. And yeah, it buffers, and I thought that I will not able to watch the fight. It's good thing that Netflix has mitigation risk and so the experience is seamless.

Same here. Although I’m not a fan of the fight, I still watched it on Netflix, hoping that Mike Tyson and Jake Paul would be safe. The rules of 2-minute rounds and wearing 14-ounce gloves help ensure the fighters’ safety.

There was a post also claiming Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight earns more than the Jon Jones Vs Stipe Moicic fight. People all over knew Trump will be on Jones vs Moicic fight but it's a flop. Mike really proved to be one of the most legendary fighter that every one wants to see.

I didn't watch since I have no Netflix account. But I was tempted to avail because of their fight. YouTube never failed it's users though.

Its a huge success. Imagine: Netflix claimed there were glitches when they were doing the telecast, but they managed to generate 60 million households, beating any UFC main events. Considering that UFC is a thirty-year-old company, the ending is not something that we expect, but we are still glad that Tyson was not hurt; he deserves to live long and get the praise of many generations to come.

I cant say that those gloves makes a huge difference in fighters safety. The difference is in punch resistance, but when such heavyhitters punch, it does not matter if they wear 10, 12 or 14oz gloves. Because it even hurts when they block the punch. But, 2-minute rounds indeed made a huge difference. Shorter round means more action, as it will be stupid to sit in defense all the time. To win the round, a boxer must show in 2 minutes, what others show during 3. More action, more risk. I am also not a huge fan of boxing, but I have googled fight results on purpose and even watched highlight.

I've added a poll to check what's the dominating opinion on whether or not the fight was staged.

I honestly cannot tell. On one hand, I wouldn't be much surprised if it was, given the shady business model of Paul's boxing enterprise and the rumours relating to his previous fights regarding strange clauses and NDAs. On the other hand, Paul was a favourite anyway and perfectly capable of winning against a nearly 60 year old Mike. He knew that all he had to do was to avoid brawls and that time was on his side as Mike didn't have much in his gas tank.

Anyhow, it's over now and hopefully we can focus more on real boxing fights.

I voted no, I do not think that it was stage at the beginning, if it is then the outcome should be at least a draw if they want to preserved Mike's legacy. And I was trying to look at the instructions of their corner, and I will say that Mike's corner seems to be genuine in giving Mike instructions on how to win the fight. It's that he can't really pull the trigger and he has gas out after 2 rounds. But they keep on egging him and motivate him to win the fight despite what it seems a very impossible task.

Voted for "don't know" as i don't think it was staged, it's just Jake Paul was not throwing too many punches that could hurt Mike Tyson when the latter was out of gas. Maybe out of respect to Mike Tyson, Jake doesn't want to hurt him which is also good because Mike Tyson could be easily hurt if Jake had the intention.

I also observed that, and I was under the impression that he really doesn't want to hurt Mike or even win by a knockout and so he did pullback and held some because it could have been in the contract that there are going to be no knockout or knockdown.

Nevertheless, we are not entertained, because of that, but in the end, we can fault everyone for really hype in this fight and then no action at all. So now that this is over, there are a lot of speculations on which one Jake Paul will be fighting next.

rumors are coming which they are sued already for rigging the fight. i don't know if its true but a lot of pro boxers noticed what Mike did in the ring. pulling back when he could potentially blow Jake once and for all to punish the joker. bettors put their money on Mike but disappointed to see how he ended up like not even trying.

they hyped it too much that they sanctioned it to be a pro. but they know its just for Jake benefit. its Netflix that is being blamed which there is also  rumors they'd be sued for this hype.

IMO, Mike Tyson gave his best in the first two rounds and never have hurt the younger Jake Paul and that's it for Iron Mike, i mean he is only good for two rounds considering his age. Fortunately for him that Jake Paul was somewhat hesitant to throw punches that could hurt Mike. If there is someone that needs to be sued, that is Jake Paul, just my thought.

Apparently there are some rumours about Saudis offering Mike $700m for a rematch:
https://www.marca.com/en/boxing/2024/12/03/674efe75ca474115218b459d.html

It sounds like it was more of a casual comment by Turki Alalshikh than any official offer, and he also mentioned that it would be contingent on Tyson KOing Paul within 3 minutes:

"[Alalshikh] stating, 'Jake Paul is a joke. I am giving Mike Tyson $700 million if he agrees to fight Jake Paul this time in a real fight and wins by KO in a maximum of 3 minutes.'"

So yeah, I don't expect we will actually see a rematch, and that's probably for the best.

And with that, comes a lawsuit,

Mike Tyson, 58, made his professional boxing comeback last month when he had a bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Texas. However, despite raking in millions (around $20m (£15.6m), the boxing legend now faces circumstances where he could lose a percentage of his earnings.

This is because Tyson is being sued in a London court for nearly $1.6 million (£1.25m) for allegedly breaking a deal to promote a gambling company after agreeing to fight Paul.

"Medier, a Cyprus-registered company that promotes online casino and betting company Rabona, is suing the former heavyweight champion and his company Tyrannic for allegedly reneging on the deal, which was agreed in January," reported Reuters.

It's not big of money as compare to what he get fighting Jake Paul. But still a million is a million. So who knows, maybe Tyson will try to make the rematch as the amount being offered to him is huge.
