On Saturday, the final match between boxing champion Tyson and 27-year-old influencer boxer took the internet by storm, with over 65 million people watching the live broadcast.

The live broadcast of this match on the platform netflix made a huge profit, and the subscription count in the fourth quarter is expected to further increase.

The legendary final battle.

On Saturday, the 58-year-old legendary boxing champion Tyson (Mike Tyson) had his first official match since 2005, facing off against 27-year-old influencer Jake Paul.

The boxing match lasted for eight rounds, with each round lasting two minutes. Tyson fought all eight rounds but ultimately lost to his opponent.

In the final moments of the last round, Paul bowed to Tyson to express his respect for the legendary boxing champion.

At 58 years old, Tyson is the youngest world heavyweight champion in boxing history, with a professional record of 56 fights, 50 wins, and 6 losses, including 44 knockouts, showcasing an extremely aggressive fighting style.

This is not Tyson's first return to the ring after retirement. In 2020, he had an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr., where the two fought to a draw after 8 rounds.

However, this match against Paul is a real professional boxing match, with the outcomes affecting both fighters' professional records.

After the match, Tyson posted about the fight and his physical condition:

"This is the kind of match where you lose but also win. I am very grateful for this night, my last time on stage, and I have no regrets.

In June, I nearly died, losing 8 pints of blood. In the hospital, I lost half my blood volume and dropped 25 pounds. I had to work hard to recover my health to participate in the match, so I won in that regard.

For my kids to see me in a packed stadium, fighting against a talented boxer who is only half my age, and to go the full eight rounds is an experience that no one has the right to demand. Thank you all."

27-year-old internet celebrity Jake Paul is one of the highest-paid YouTubers in the world, with over 20 million subscribers on his channel, and is known for creating various comedic videos in his early years.

He later entered the professional boxing arena, achieving 10 wins and 1 loss in 11 career fights, including 7 wins by KO.

According to related media reports, Tyson's appearance fee for this match is expected to exceed 20 million dollars, while Jake Paul's appearance fee is expected to reach as high as 40 million dollars.

Netflix hit the jackpot.

The match between Tyson and Paul has garnered widespread global attention, attracting enormous traffic.

The match was streamed live on the video streaming platform Netflix, attracting 65 million viewers globally, but it also sparked numerous complaints from the audience.

Due to its popularity, Netflix's servers were overwhelmed, with many users complaining about blurry quality, frequent buffering, and even disconnections.

The network status monitoring site Downdetector.com stated that Netflix resumed running after approximately six hours of disruption in the USA, while viewers were watching the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Data shows that there were over 90,000 reports of failure regarding Netflix during the most severe time.

Even Jake Paul stated after the match: 'Our website crashed, this is the biggest event.'

Tyson's comeback to face Paul has brought immense traffic, likely becoming a major driver of netflix subscription growth.

According to Bloomberg data, netflix's fourth quarter subscriptions are expected to increase by 10 million, which is 11% higher than expected.

As of the end of the third quarter, netflix had approximately 0.283 billion subscribers, with advertising subscriptions increasing by 35% quarter-on-quarter.

jpmorgan analyst Doug Anmuth expects that the number of netflix advertising tier subscribers will reach 35 million by the end of 2024 and 52 million by the end of 2025, equivalent to 77 million and 113 million monthly active users, which is considered a conservative estimate.

netflix is currently jpmorgan's preferred stock, rated 'shareholding', with a target price of 850 dollars, implying a potential increase of 3% compared to Friday's closing price.
