33M watch Paul-Joshua

January 7, 2026 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Netflix reported that 33 million subscribers watched the Jake Paul-Anthony Joshua fight on December 19th.

The fight was down from the 41.5 million subscribers that tuned in to watch Terence Crawford take on Canelo Alvarez.

The fight did draw the largest gate in Kaseya Center history. It eclipsed UFC 299 in March 2024 which drew $14.1 million.

Paul lost via KO in the 6th round of the fight. Despite the loss, its clear that Paul is someone that viewers will watch and falls in neatly with Netflix’s strategy of bringing in tentpole events to its live broadcasting stable.

@Josh_HokitUFC You’re gonna cry you were cancelled by the left for “free speech”. And then you’ll post 200 times a day on Twitter until fox and friends invites you on to “tell your story”. And after that you’ll run for congress and your campaign will be centered on white grievance.

This is

Real question. Was this announced or is there an intern somewhere that is taking note of ever fighter’s follow and unfollow?

Ian Garry unfollowed PFL fighter Alexei Pergande after a clip resurfaced of him taking down Garry in sparring:

"Ian Garry is lying about me... I'm not sure why he made up a lie [about me filming him without permission]."
