- Netflix’s Taylor-Serrano Boxing Match Brings in 6 Million Viewers
Netflix's live stream of Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano's third boxing match drew a good-sized audience.
According to figures from VideoAmp and internal Netflix data, the Friday night bout — a majority decision win for Taylor — drew a worldwide audience of 6 million viewers from opening to closing bell. About 70 percent of that audience, or 4.2 million viewers, came from the United States.

The Taylor-Serrano fight was part of an all-women card at New York's Madison Square Garden Friday. Most Valuable Promotions, headed by boxer and social media star Jake Paul, says the event made $2.63 million at the gate, a record for a card featuring only women fighters. (Audience figures for the full card weren't available.)
Contextualizing the audience for Taylor-Serrano isn't easy, largely because there have been very few nationally televised, non pay-per-view fights involving women boxers. It's likely the fight will rank ahead of anything else that aired on TV Friday night, and Netflix says the 4.2 million viewers makes the bout the most watched professional women's sporting event of 2025 in the U.S. "Professional" is a key word there, as the NCAA women's basketball championship drew 8.6 million viewers in April, and the Final Four matchup between UConn and UCLA also had 4.2 million viewers.
Serrano and Taylor previously fought on Netflix in November 2024 as part of the undercard for the Paul-Mike Tyson bout. Netflix said at the time that 74 million people worldwide saw that fight, but since it was attached to the Paul-Tyson spectacle, that's not the fairest comparison to Friday's telecast.
