EXCLUSIVE: Netflix‘s Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight was pretty uneventful in the moment, but that didn’t stop viewers around the world from flocking to the tussle in Texas.
Data from TV insights company PlumResearch shows that Brazil, the UK, Germany and Australia were the biggest viewers watching the 27-year-old Paul soundly defeat former world heavyweight champion Tyson, 58, outside the U.S..
Brazil contributed 7.1 million live or near-live viewers, with the UK close behind. Germany took 5 million with Australia just behind that number. Given the fight happened in the early hours of the European day, the figures are all the more notable there.
