Netflix has officially released the numbers for just how many people tuned into the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight ... and it is staggering.

According to the streaming giant ... last night's big live event drew in a massive 60 million households globally ... peaking at 65 million concurrent streams.

The Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight was viewed by 50 million households globally ... making it likely to be the most watched professional women's sporting event in US history, so says Netflix.

Amanda Serrano's issuing a mea culpa after accusing Katie Taylor of intentionally headbutting her repeatedly ... taking to X to tell everyone she was way out of line with her previous comments.

Here's the deal ... Amanda and Katie brawled just before Jake Paul took on Mike Tyson down in Dallas Friday night -- and, during the fight -- Katie's forehead came up and smacked Amanda right above the eye.

Taylor won the fight by unanimous decision ... and, Serrano and her trainer weren't happy with the decision -- with Serrano telling the post-match interviewer it seemed intentional 'cause Taylor does it in every fight.

Boxer Amanda Serrano posted a wicked picture of the huge gash over her eye ... right after being defeated by Katie Taylor in a classic bout Friday night at the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul event.

Along with the hard-to-look snap ... she wrote, "To my fans I’m going to always give it everything I have. I’m a ruthless warrior & Katie is my buddy but Damn her best attribute is her head. No punching power but hard ass head lol."

Kansas City Chiefs star Rashee Rice appears to be in great spirits on his road to recovery ... hitting up the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson festivities in Texas as he inches closer to getting back on the football field.

After checking out the action at AT&T Stadium, the injured wide receiver rolled through the Rayleigh Underground in Dallas ... joining names like Metta World Peace, Jon Marianek and DJ Irie at the massive event's after-party.

Boxer J'Leon Love -- one of Paul's coaches -- was also present ... and we take it he was over the moon about the big win for his team. DJ E-V, who actually provided tunes at AT&T Stadium for the fight, made an appearance as well.

Jake Paul says he eased up on Mike Tyson during their fight ... admitting he could tell the boxing legend was struggling in the ring -- and there was no need to knock him out.

El Gallo confirmed what most viewers suspected shortly after he secured the unanimous decision win at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX ... revealing he did, in fact, modify his approach after noticing the 58-year-old was no longer on the attack.

When asked if he purposely took his foot off the gas in Round 3, Jake told a reporter that was the case ... and explained his reason.

Jake Paul had a massive victory over Mike Tyson on Friday night ... and he wasted no time once again trolling Conor McGregor for an MMA fight.

Jake beat Tyson by a unanimous decision after what many considered a lackluster bout ... and immediately turned his sights to CM ... reigniting the feud.

In his early Saturday message, Jake posted to X ... "Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170lbs. That’s never happening. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like how it used to be done. But you won’t."

Jake Paul just beat up Mike Tyson ... winning his highly touted super fight with the boxing legend convincingly.

The two pugilists squared off in a ring inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday night ... and, initially, Iron Mike looked good.

The 58-year-old came out swinging in the first round ... and appeared to win it on the judges' scorecards.

Jon Jones dominated Stipe Miocic in the main event of 309 ... and then shouted out President Trump during his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.

Bones even started a "USA! USA!" chant ... and hit Trump's famous dance move, before exiting the Octagon and talking to the president-elect.

The UFC has no shortage of star power at its events -- in and out of the Octagon -- so, who's gotten the loudest pop from the crowd?!

Dana White has an answer.

"When you think about fighter walkouts, whenever a fighter walks out to the [Octagon] — I mean, the two biggest that actually shake the arena are President Trump and Conor McGregor, two of the biggest fight walkouts ever," the UFC boss told Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show (airs nightly on FS1).

Before Jake Paul showed some big-time toughness in the ring vs. Mike Tyson on Friday ... he displayed his huge soft spot on Thursday -- sweetly hosting a boy who's battling cancer throughout some of his pre-fight festivities.

El Gallo's guest of honor was Owen Obey -- a 7-year-old who was diagnosed with bone cancer earlier this year -- and TMZ Sports has learned social media influencer Samuel Weidenhofer actually helped the two link up.

Obey's mom, Chelsi, tells us Weidenhofer learned of Owen's story weeks ago ... and was so moved by it, he asked Jake if he'd be interested in meeting the youngster during fight week this week.

No one packs a punch quite like Mike Tyson, who's stepping back into the ring tonight -- and let’s be real, the man’s been ready to rumble since day one.

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are throwing down at AT&T Stadium in Texas tonight ... and, fans in the area who couldn't score tickets can enjoy the match with a stripper dancing on them.

We called up a few strip clubs in the Dallas area and asked about their fight night plans ... and many told us they've got specials and deals for patrons who want a little lovin' with their fightin'.

Spearmint Rhino in North Dallas tells us they're offering selected bottle service for $175 and lap dances for $25 ... while The Men's Club of Dallas is offering steak and lobster for $23, a $150 bottle service and just $3 for a domestic beer.

Mike landed a right-hand slap flush on Jake's face and then appeared to throw another punch below the belt that missed ... before being pushed away from Jake.

If you were looking for betting advice from Andre Ward on the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight ... search elsewhere -- the former boxing superstar tells TMZ Sports it's so close between the two, he has absolutely "no idea" how things will shake out.

The ex-champ broke it down for us on Thursday -- roughly 24 hours before Tyson and Paul will square off in Dallas on Netflix -- explaining that because of Tyson's age and background, the scrap is simply impossible to predict.

"If it's the average 58-year-old, you kind of, sort of know how this thing is going to go," Ward said. "But we're talking about Mike Tyson. If there's a 58-year-old that I'm not worried about, it's him."

Stephen Espinoza ran Showtime Sports and oversaw the two biggest PPV boxing matches ever -- Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd vs. Conor McGregor -- so, we asked the former C-suite exec how much money Jake Paul and Mike Tyson would earn Friday night.

"I think it's realistic to expect that both of them will each make $30 to $40 million each," Espinoza told TMZ Sports on Thursday ... adding they could make substantially more.

And, we're not just talking about huge checks for Jake and Mike ... Stephen also believes Jerry's World will rake in more than ever before on a fight night.

Offset's most recent Paris night ended in fisticuffs, new video obtained from TMZ Hip Hop confirms -- and there's loads of wild footage!!!

The former Migos rap star and his boys were coming out of the Hôtel du Collectionneur Wednesday night when another group of men aggressively confronted them at the entrance.

Sources in the streets say the men were part of French rapper Gazo's entourage, who grew enraged after they paid Offset $150K for a video shoot, and "laziness" caused him to fail at meeting their requirements.

Mike Tyson's proving age ain't nothin' but a number ... 'cause the boxing legend popped the hood at weigh-ins Thursday morning, and Iron Mike's living up to his moniker!

He's ripped and rarin' to go.

58-year-old Tyson and 27-year-old Paul both stepped on the scale Thursday morning in Dallas -- about 36 hours before they'll try and take each other's heads off in the ring -- a fight Mike told us would be the "biggest in the history of life."
