Sat Nov 16 22:45:30 IST 2024: ## Tyson Loses to Paul in Netflix-Crashing Bout
**Texas, USA** – Boxing legend Mike Tyson, in his first professional fight in 19 years, lost to 27-year-old Jake Paul in a much-anticipated match held at AT&T Stadium in Texas. Paul secured a 78-74 victory over the 57-year-old Tyson, despite Tyson dominating the first two rounds.
The fight, streamed live on Netflix, caused a significant outage for the streaming giant. UserDownDetector.com reported over 100,000 users in the US and India experiencing service disruptions for approximately six hours. The disruption affected a significant portion of Netflix’s 270 million global subscribers, including over 10 million in India alone.
The bout boasted a total prize purse of $60 million (approximately ₹506 crore), with Paul earning $40 million (approximately ₹338 crore) and Tyson receiving $20 million (approximately ₹169 crore).
Tyson, the youngest heavyweight champion in history, last fought professionally in 2005. His pre-fight slap of Paul added to the event’s drama. The substantial age difference of 31 years between the two fighters was a prominent talking point leading up to the match. Despite his early dominance, Tyson ultimately succumbed to Paul’s strategy in the later rounds.
