The fight was also streamed in more than 6,000 bars and restaurants in the U.S., setting the record for the sport's largest commercial distribution.
"The boxing mega-event dominated social media, shattered records, and even had our buffering systems on the ropes," Netflix posted on X Saturday.
The fight's promoter, Most Valuable Promotions, which is co-owned by Paul, told CNBC 72,300 attended the Friday night bout at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Dallas Cowboys stadium has a seating capacity of 80,000.
Gate receipts for the fight surpassed 18 million in revenue, the promoter said.
It was the biggest boxing gate in history outside of Nevada. The previous record was $9 million in gate receipts for the 2021 fight between Canelo Álvarez and Billy Joe Saunders at AT&T Stadium.
MVP said the gate is also higher than for any non-Las Vegas UFC fight, other than Conor McGregor versus Eddie Alvarez in New York City in 2016.

record setting no wonder there were buffers, I didn't think this would dominate on Netflix to this point. I hope they handled the server issues for the next record households watching Andrew tates and Tyson 🤣🤣
Andrew Tate has to be allowed out of jail or Romania first.
