Terence Crawford’s win against Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez to become the undisputed super-middleweight champion attracted an estimated total of 41.4 million viewers, says Netflix.However, it was well below the estimated 125 million who watched Youtuber-turned boxer Jake Paul’s bout against former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in November 2024 on the streaming platform.Because that was not for a title, Netflix described Crawford-Canelo as the “most-viewed men’s championship boxing match this century”.Katie Taylor’s win against Amanda Serrano in their second fight, which was on the undercard of the Tyson-Paul card, attracted an estimated 74 million live viewers globally and 47 million viewers in the US.Crawford-Canelo attracted 36.6 million on the day of the fight, while the rest watched it within a day of the bout.In terms of concurrent streams, Netflix said the fight had a peak of 24 million as opposed to the Tyson Paul peak of 65 million. Crawford beat Canelo on points to claim the WBA (Super), WBC, WBO and IBF super-middleweight titles as he became the first male fighter in the modern era to hold undisputed titles in three weight divisions.
