Streaming giant Netflix said that 108 million people worldwide watched last Friday’s bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, calling it the “most-streamed global sporting event ever” in a post on social media.
The claim comes despite highly publicized issues with the stream during the fight on Friday and just days after the streamer claimed that 60 million of its member households across the globe had tuned in for the fight.
The data of the 108 million figure came from figures from analytics company TVision, which tabulated the U.S. Viewing numbers, and Netflix first-party data, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
