Mike Tyson admitted to having a “biting fixation” after repeatedly gnawing on his glove during his boxing match against Jake Paul on Friday night.

The highly anticipated event was streamed live on Netflix, drawing an astounding 60 million households and setting new records for viewership and engagement.

During his points defeat to 27-year-old Paul, the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion was seen frequently biting his glove as the controversial match unfolded at AT&T Stadium.

Tyson addressed the peculiar habit in the post-fight interview: “Oh, I have a habit of biting my gloves, yeah. I have a biting fixation.” Many interpreted this as a nod to his infamous 1997 disqualification against Evander Holyfield, a night remembered for Tyson biting his opponent’s ear.

Paul dominated the fight, securing a unanimous decision with judges scoring it 80-...

Netflix’s livestream of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight wrestled the attention of 60 million households, peaking at 65 million concurrent streams, per the streamer.

Nearly 50 million homes also tuned in live for the co-main event fight featuring Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano. The platform will release additional viewership stats, including total viewers, early on this week.

In addition to household viewership, Netflix partnered with Joe Hand Promotions to distribute last night’s sports spectacle to more than 6,000 bars and restaurants in the U.S., setting the record for commercial distribution of a combat sports event in the company’s over 50-year history.

#PaulTyson was the No. 1 trending topic worldwide on X yesterday with #Serrano following No. 2 in the U.S. The fight dominated social conversation, accounting for all of the Top 11 trending topics in the country. As noted on social media last night, however, viewers experienced a slew of...

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson’s boxing match brought in 60 million households around the world — a record-breaking night for Netflix, where the bout streamed. The fight peaked at 65 million concurrent streams, and the entire night produced the biggest boxing event outside of Las Vegas in United States history.

Joe Hand Promotions, a premium live sports and entertainment programmer for the out-of-home market, also distributed last night’s event to over 6,000 bars and restaurants in the U.S., setting the record for commercial distribution of a combat sports event in the company’s 50+ year history.

#PaulTyson was also the top trending topic worldwide on X on Friday with #Serrano at No. 2 in the U.S., Brazil, Spain, and Canada. The fight dominated conversation on social media and accounted for 11 of the Top 11 trending topics in the US.

Celebrity attendees included Evander Holyfield, Shaquille O’Neal, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jerry Jones, Charlize Theron,...

Netflix’s live, Friday-night presentation of Most Valuable Promotions’ bout between Jake “El Gallo” Paul aka The Problem Child (11-1, 7 KOs) and “Iron” Mike Tyson aka The Baddest Man on the Planet (50-7, 44 KOs) at times appeared on the ropes, from a technical perspective.

Buffering/freezing and sound issues occasionally compromised the live streaming event, which was held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in front of an audience of 72,300. (The match was originally supposed to take place in July, but an ulcer flare up forced Tyson’s doctors to intervene.)

Jake Paul proved victorious against Mike Tyson on Friday night in Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions’ (Mvp) heavyweight boxing mega-event, streaming live globally on the platform.

The ‘Problem Child’ maintained a consistent lead against ‘Iron Mike’ at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, landing 78 hits against Tyson’s 18 during the eight two-minute rounds. Paul threw 278 (28%) punches against Tyson’s 97 (18%).

Friday’s match between Tyson and Paul, which was prefaced by Katie Taylor Vs. Amanda Serrano 2, was the biggest boxing gate outside of Las Vegas in US history, surpassing $17.8 million. More than 70,000 were in attendance at the match.

“Breaking records like this is exactly what Mvp was built to do—bring the biggest, most electrifying events to fans worldwide,” said Mvp co-founder Nakisa Bidarian. “Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano and Mvp are redefining what’s possible in combat sports, and we’re thrilled to partner with Netflix to make history at AT&T Stadium.

Jimmy Fallon used Thursday night’s “Tonight Show” monologue to take aim at the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, which gets underway on Netflix on Friday night. But he kicked off with a joke that doubled as a piece of NBCUniversal synergy for the upcoming “Wicked” movie.

“Tomorrow night on Netflix 58-year-old boxing legend Mike Tyson is coming out of retirement to fight 27-year-old YouTuber Jake Paul. And to make sure people watch, one will be dressed as Glinda and the other will be dressed as Elphaba.”

Fallon then cracked one about the fight streaming on Netflix as a live event: “The fight is on Netflix so around the fifth round I think we’re gonna find out that Mike Tyson is actually made of cake.”

The host turned his ire towards the 30-year age gap between Tyson and Paul, making a pretty striking comparison.

Once upon a time, Sylvester Stallone hosted his own reality television show called The Contender, much to the dismay of former president Donald Trump. The Rocky legend teamed up with Sugar Ray Leonard, well known as one of the greatest boxers of all time, on a series that gave 16 young boxers the chance to become the next big contact sports sensation. The Contenders was nominated for two Primetime Emmys, but that did not stop Trump from reportedly talking trash about Stallone's performance as a TV host.

While at the TV market Mipcom, the co-editor-in-chief of Variety, Ramin Setoodeh, revealed how he observed the convicted former president crafting his reality TV persona and how Trump still speaks ill of Stallone to this day. He interviewed Trump several times after his presidency, discovering that The Apprentice holds a disdain for Stallone after appearing in The Contenders, which shared Mark Burnett as a producer.

We know Kendrick Lamar and Drake will throw more shots, levy more seedy allegations, and might even drop more all-out diss songs from here. But the bulk of the war has been fought, and the crown goes to Compton. In hindsight, the way Drake poked the bear with Instagram Stories provocations and his “Taylor Made” freestyle seems masochistic. Over the past week, Lamar hit Drake with a relentless volley of diss songs that comprehensively dismantled his opponent’s character and, with “Not Like Us,” may make him the punchline of the summer.

Longtime boxing commentator Larry Merchant was rushed to a hospital in Los Angeles last night and is in the critical care unit, according to a report.

The 92-year-old broadcaster, best known for his long stint with HBO, was taken to a Los Angeles hospital around 6 p.m./Pt Thursday, according to TMZ, which sites sources with direct knowledge of the situation.

Adapted from a short story and an old Twilight Zone episode, Real Steel starred Hugh Jackman as an ex-boxer who becomes a trainer after human boxers were replaced by robots. The film became a surprise hit in 2011, and there are still rumblings about a potential sequel — either as a new movie or as a streaming series — to this day. To give the film a greater sense of realism, Jackman trained with a real-life boxing champion, Sugar Ray Leonard, to work on his own moves in the ring.

Donnie Yen is the premier martial arts showman on Earth. He is the heir to Jackie Chan, who was Bruce Lee's successor, and, like those legends, his fighting style is a fluid amalgam of hand-to-hand combat techniques. Watching Yen ply his craft is like listening to a vintage De La Soul track. His fight scenes are an exhilarating, expertly choreographed blur of disciplines. Yen samples from Tai Chi, karate, Taekwondo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, aikido, wrestling, judo and so much more. And when you spot a reference to a patented punch, kick, or feint from another film or a notable fighter, you get every bit as giddy as the first time you heard the Beastie Boys blend John Williams' "Jaws" theme with Bernard Herrmann's legendary "Psycho" cue in the song, "Egg Man," on their "Paul's Boutique" album.

And in Price’s corner, amid the television cameras and cigar smoke, sat Price’s manager, Marvin Gaye, feeling like his whole life was on the line.

Gaye often spoke in boxing metaphors,...

Exclusive: Artists First on Friday announced its signing of boxing Hall of Famer, Sugar Ray Leonard.

Leonard enjoyed an elite, 20-year career in the ring before being inducted into the International Boxing Hall Of Fame in 1997, winning three National Golden Gloves titles, two Amateur Athletic Union championships and the 1975 Pan-American Games crown. He first got into boxing at age 14 and turned professional after winning a gold medal at the 1976 Olympic games, in a last-ditch effort to help his family with medical bills incurred from his father’s hospitalization with meningitis.

Leonard won his first professional fight at age 20, then going on to defeat some of the greatest boxers of the modern era, from Wilfred Benetiz to Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvelous Marvin Hagler, from whom Leonard won the world middleweight title. His boxing career also saw him win world titles in the welterweight, junior middleweight, super middleweight, and light heavyweight division,...

"Rocky" has endured as one of the most uplifting sports films of all time thanks in large part to its heartfelt portrayal of two social misfits falling haltingly in love as one of them trains for an unlikely, yet plausible shot at the heavyweight boxing title. Sylvester Stallone and Talia Shire give lovely, lived-in performances that are painful to watch at times because Rocky has no idea how awkwardly his gregariousness lands, while Adrian seems terrified that anyone would find her worthy of affection.

For most of its runtime, "Rocky" is a human drama about losers. It soars to life during its Bill Conti-scored training montage that explodes the film into its exhilarating third act. Interestingly, the final match isn't all that long. From the opening bell to the end of the fifteenth round, it occupies a scant eight-and-a-half minutes of screen time. But it feels like trench warfare...

Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race, and country singer Dierks Bentley, came out on top on Pickled, a celebrity pickleball competition hosted by Stephen Colbert. The special was a fundraiser for Comic Relief, featuring 16 celebrities divided into teams of two. Phil's team name was called “When Harry Net Rally.” Phil is currently hosting The Amazing Race season 34, which has five teams left in the competition.

Phil is no stranger to tough competitions. But he and Dierks ended up winning the entire Pickled competition, which was a bit of an upset, as judges’ favorites Emma Watson and Sugar Ray Leonard, aka “The Volley Ranchers,” were strongly expected to take first. But they were eliminated in the semifinals, leaving “When Harry Net Rally” to face off against “Party ‘Til You Cuke” (made up of Tig Notaro and mystery guest Will Ferrell) in the final round. Phil's team emerged victorious, with a...

Stephen Colbert has a new game that many TV networks might like to play.

With pickleball all the rage and the demand for sports programming growing fiercer by the day, CBS has teamed up with Colbert and Funny or Die to produce a celebrity tournament airing Nov. 17. The two-hour event might seem like a goof — and remind viewers old enough of “Battle of the Network Stars” in the ’70s — but it carries serious ramifications for an industry increasingly reliant on sports in all its forms.

In “Pickled,” Colbert joins with sportscasters Bill Raftery and Cari Champion to comment on pickleball antics featuring everyone from Sugar Ray Leonard to Will Ferrell and Emma Watson. According to Colbert, who began playing the racket sport in January, the rivalries in the taped tournament are intense: “You don’t get to be fully employed in Hollywood unless you are competitive, and these people are...

CBS has announced the official eight celebrity teams for Pickled, its upcoming tournament of pickleball. The teams include Daniel Dae Kim & Luis Guzman, Sugar Ray Leonard & Emma Watson, Jimmie Allen & Max Greenfield, Dierks Bentley & Phil Keoghan & June Diane Raphael, Jamie Camil & Aisha Tyler, Murray Barlett & Kelly Rowland, and Tig Notaro alongside an unannounced partner. Named for the aforementioned teams include Volley Ranchers, Party ‘Til You Cuke, When Harry Net Rally, and the Paddle Snakes. Pickleball is a sport played with paddles on a small tennis court — and it will be played by these celeb teams to benefit Comic Relief US. CBS All-star announcers, including Cari Champion, John Michael Higgins, and Bill Raftery, add color and commentary to the matches. After the national anthem, performed by Kenny Loggins and Stephen Colbert, the eight celebrity teams take to the court to battle for the honor of being named the Pickled champions and...

Crown Royal continued their multi-year NFL partnership, which includes the “Kick off with Crown Royal” campaign by dedicating 25,000 from the Crown Royal Generosity Fund to the Southern Smoke Foundation, an organization created to take care of food and beverages workers who need it most.

Bo Jackson and DeMarcus Ware hosted a cookoff challenge

The donation is a part of the award-winning whisky’s 1 million commitment to hospitality workers, active duty military members, and veterans throughout the NFL season.

As the first-ever whisky sponsor of the NFL, Crown Royal continued their pledge to honor those who help fans celebrate gameday by partnering with NFL Legends, Bo Jackson and DeMarcus Ware, in a cook off at the Southern Smoke Festival. The Legends collaborated with local Houston restaurateurs to create two unique Crown Royal infused BBQ sauces and went head-to-head in a BBQ sauce competition. Consumers 21+ voted for their favorite sauce, raising further funds for the Foundation.

Pickleball is getting the documentary treatment.

Producer Ashley Underwood (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm) and writer-producer Craig Coyne (Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix) are teaming with Peter Berg’s Film 45 to serve up a nonfiction exploration of one of the fastest growing sports that will be co-directed by Seth Porges and Mary Pilon.

Per intel about the project, the as yet untitled documentary will use access to pickleball’s top leagues, events, players and celebrity fans to “examine the professionalization and commodification” of the sport, one that exploded in popularity amid the pandemic and continues its rise.

Case in point: Just yesterday, NFL legend Tom Brady and tennis champ Kim Clijsters confirmed that they are part of an ownership group for a Major League Pickleball expansion team while CBS revealed final details of Pickled, the two-hour CBS sports comedy special hosted by Stephen Colbert.

Emma Watson, Will Ferrell, Daniel Dae Kim and a group of other celebrities are set to battle it out on CBS’ Pickleball Tourney on Nov. 17.

The two-hour comedy special, called “Pickled,” will feature a pickleball tournament hosted by “The Late Show’s” Stephen Colbert. Colbert will join singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins in performing the national anthem. The tournament will consist of 16 celebrities who will compete in the oh so competitive sport to win the coveted Colbert Cup.

Along with Watson, Dae Kim and Ferrell, other participating actors include Jimmie Allen, Murray Bartlett, Dierks Bentley, Jaime Camil, Max Greenfield, Luis Guzman, Phil Keoghan, Sugar Ray Leonard, Tig Notaro, June Diane Raphael, Kelly Rowland, Paul Scheer and Aisha Tyler.

Filling out the celebrity roster of participants are Jimmie Allen, Murray Bartlett, Dierks Bentley, Jaime Camil, Max Greenfield, Phil Keoghan, Daniel Dae Kim, Sugar Ray Leonard, Tig Notaro, June Diane Raphael, Kelly Rowland, and Paul Scheer.
