In the battleground of streamers, Netflix is not only a titan, but is presently making sure that the honorary title gets no scope for a pass-on. The streaming powerhouse has brainstormed its way to ensure viewership expansion and extended screen-time for its already signed-up users by curating unique formats of releases like limited series and films, Netflix originals, and miniseries. For its latest efforts for an exceptional streaming experience, Netflix recently announced a one-of-a-kind drop for its July slate with its plans for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson match, making even Andrew Schulz praise the strategy.

From the looks of it, this is not just a daring move for the streaming giant, but a step forward to ensure its reign on the throne.

In the initial stretch of March, Netflix declared the once-in-a-lifetime chance for fans to witness the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson match on July 20 from the streamer’s live stream. Andrew Schulz, in a recent episode of Brilliant Idiots with Charlamagne, could not help but laud the streamer’s business genius. As Charlamagne emphasized how “Live streaming is the only way to go for most of these streaming services”, Schulz immediately reminded how Netflix “bought it” so that “you don’t have to order it”.

Both Schulz and Charlamagne gave thought to whether the tickets were already sold out or even released. However, they soon came back to where it did not matter because Netflix bought the event to stream it live. Schulz added that this was truly a “game-changer” and Netflix could have even made profits if a minimal fee of say “$20” was charged. As per him, it would have given Netflix an upper hand to compete against big-budget sports channels. But its decision to give it free also leans on heavy sponsorship, which assures its probability of becoming the “most-viewed fight in history”.

With the NAACP Awards victories for Rustin and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Netflix’s weekend already eclipsed. But now with Andrew Schulz and Charlamagne’s vouch for the upcoming live match of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, Netflix has emerged superior on all fronts. While Schulz termed Netflix as the “game-changer” leading a revolution in the streaming world, he also emphasized just how “easy” the giant has made streaming.

Especially for these big matches that sell out within minutes, it is not only a chance for its fans to relish the match but even without a tinge of concern. Schulz added that this provides the scope for users to enjoy the match from anywhere at any given point without the afterthought of how to manage it. While it is a “historical” feat for Netflix to get the stamp of respect from artists like Schulz and Charlamagne, now that it has, one only needs to wait till July for history to unfold.
