JAKARTA - Netflix says that there are 60 million households watching the main Paul vs. Tyson match live around the world, with a peak of 65 million streams at the same time.

In addition, the main matches of the two boxing sports between Serrano vs. Taylor 2 have also invited nearly 50 million viewers at the same time, making it the most-watched professional women's sports match in US history.

"That night was a record-breaking night for Netflix," the leading streaming platform company wrote in a statement on its official website, quoted Monday, November 18.

In that match, Jake Paul, a 27-year-old YouTuber, defeated 58-year-old boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and was broadcast live on Netflix.

Netflix even revealed that #PaulTyson became the number one trending topic on X around the world on Friday. While #Serrano is at No. 2 in the US, Brazil, Spain, and Canada.

Unfortunately, there were some obstacles during the live broadcast of the game. Where according to the Downdetector outage tracking website, more than 90,000 users reported problems on Netflix.

However, the streaming platform re-enabled on Saturday after a blackout that lasted about 6 hours in the United States.

As reported by Reuters, in April last year, Netflix also experienced brief disruptions during a live broadcast of the Love is Blind dating reality show, which drew complaints from thousands of users.
