Piracy continues to plague the world of boxing and sports at large. Illegal streamers continue to land crushing blows to athletes’ livelihoods by robbing them of their hard-earned money. And when it comes to high-profile fights like Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, the consequences are far more devastating, with the potential for multi-million dollar losses.

While prominent platforms like DAZN, ESPN, and Amazon Prime constantly battle illegal streaming, smaller broadcasters often lack the resources to effectively tackle this issue. Even larger promoters like Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), burdened with $900 million debt, cannot afford to spend additional resources in this war against piracy anymore. However, in the nick of time, streaming titan Netflix gears up to become boxing’s knight in shining armor – heralding a brighter future for the sweet science.

Can Netflix save Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul from multi-million dollar financial loss?

Netflix is investing heavily in promoting Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, as seen in its bold billboards and eye-catching advertisements, even taking over New York’s iconic Times Square. Similarly, the streaming mogul is sparing no expense in its battle against piracy too, as reported by a renowned X page named Boxing Kingdom.

In its recent post about Tyson vs. Paul, Boxing Kingdom stated, “The anti-piracy department at Netflix will be preventing illegal online streams circulating for Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul. This department is massive and has offices across multiple continents. Analysis on cyber lockers and data streaming sites has already been performed.”

With this large-scale anti-piracy effort, Netflix aims to prevent illegal streams from circulating globally. Geolocation restrictions forced boxing broadcasters and streaming giants to tolerate piracy outside their territories for years. Now, Netflix’s global reach will bring a game-changing solution—casting a new ray of sunshine inside the square circle.

Why you can’t miss watching Tyson vs. Paul

Netflix isn’t the only one going all-out with its promotion. Mike Tyson’s chilling warnings, Jake Paul‘s pregnant belly antics, and their stardom have drawn significant attention to the event. Additionally, Tyson vs. Paul is not the only fight everyone will be jumping on Netflix to watch. The co-main event, Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano II, will be another high-stakes boxing match.

Previously, Claressa Shields, alongside Taylor and Serrano, held the record for the highest fight purse in women’s boxing history – around $1 million each. The highly anticipated rematch surpasses previous purse records, with Taylor set to earn $6.1 million and Serrano poised to take home a slightly larger chunk. Although the Puerto Rican star failed in rallying for 12 3-minute rounds, the stakes remain higher than ever as Taylor puts her undisputed crown on the line in this epic battle for supremacy.

Additionally, the stacked undercard will feature two more title bouts. Mario Barrios will defend his WBC welterweight title against Abel Ramos, while Shadasia Green faces Melinda Watpool for the vacant WBO women’s super middleweight title. Lastly, rising stars Neeraj Goyat and Bruce ‘Shu Shu’ Carrington gear up for their bouts against Whindersson Nunes and Dana Coolwell, respectively.

With a stacked undercard, which fight are you most excited to watch on Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight night? As Amazon Prime also steps into boxing, do you think streaming giants like Netflix can help eradicate the sporting world’s plague known as piracy?
