if this is the most watched boxing event in the last 15-20 years. It seems like boxing has been watched only a fraction of what it was during the Tyson / Holyfield / Sugar Ray Leonard era.
Recently, many of these boxing matches seem come and go, and no one I know even watches them. Yet this one seems to be the most watched event in a very long time, even though Tyson's actually a pretty old man. It's not like many people watched all of those other Jake Paul bouts, but this one is drawing a lot of eyeballs - Netflix is really smart, and laughing all the way to the bank. So much theater.
