Netflix is the home of Monday Night RAW from January 6th, 2025. However, many fans are concerned about RAW streaming live on Netflix following the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event. More than 60 million watched the boxing match on Netflix with constant buffering and connection issues.
Appearing on Greg & The Morning Buzz, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque commented on the Tyson vs. Paul fight drawing a huge audience.
You mentioned Netflix, like, that’s a game-changer. That Tyson fight this past week did 60-something million viewers live. What people don’t get — that’s households. Multiply that times three on average, that’s the amount of people that were watching.
Levesque was asked if he was concerned about Netflix streaming issues.
“Look, I don’t want to flex about it, but it was buffering on my end because I was on a plane watching it. So the buffering was expected on my side. We were flying back from TV watching the fight and the signal was a little wonky. And I thought, ‘Well, we’re 40,000 feet in the air, it should be.’ But then sort of seeing it online of everybody saying it was buffering. Look, you start putting 60 million households all at once on a streaming service. Put it this way, if our first night buffers and they come and say it was 60-70 million households watching, I’ll be okay with the buffering.”
