Netflix's Paul v. Tyson had an unsatisfying end.
Netflix made its first big leap into live sports streaming with Paul vs. Tyson, the boxing spectacle that featured YouTube star-turned professional boxer Jake Paul vs. the iconic, world-famous boxing legend Mike Tyson. The marquee matchup set records as far as attendance is concerned, as the $17.8+ million gate brought in by Paul vs. Tyson is the highest combat sports gate ever in America outside of Las Vegas.

Paul landed a few jabs as he attempted to feel out his opponent, and kept tying up with him in an effort to tire the much older opponent out .
Round 4 Both men danced around each other to begin the round, and Paul continued to try to work jabs with his left in an effort to set up his lethal right hand. Paul landed far more punches overall in the fight, and Round 4 was where the gap really took off.
