Despite streaming issues ... tons of people from all corners of the world flocked to Netflix to catch Jake Paul and Mike Tyson throw down Friday night -- with an estimated 108 million people streaming the bout!!

Paul and Tyson, according to Jake's Most Valuable Promotions, have become the most streamed sporting event ever with 65 million global concurrent streams ... with 35 million coming from the good ol' U.S. of A.

The fight reportedly had an average minute audience of 108 million live viewers .. with that number jumping to 125 million over the weekend.

Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury II might be on the horizon ... 'cause the only guy to ever beat El Gallo in the boxing ring says he's ready to run it back in a rematch!!

Fury was asked about his nemesis during a press event for his upcoming bout against former UFC fighter Darren Till ... when he revealed there's unfinished business with Paul.

"[A rematch] with Jake Paul? In a heartbeat," Fury said to ESPN on Tuesday. "Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, I think me and him are set in stone."

Philadelphia 76ers' rookie Jared McCain still makes time for social media and Spotify streaming -- and is adding his 2 cents to the All-RapCaviar Teams debate!!!

RapCaviar's editors recruited JM to vote for his 2024 Rapper and Rookie of the Year ... likely a much more fun task than Tuesday's team meeting where the 76ers argued about being last place in the Eastern Conference!!!

Arguments are flying left and right over the selections ... Drake is Spotify's top rapper in terms of streams but was only selected to the 3rd Team, and the 2024 Rap Wars were an undeniable factor!!!

The streaming quality during the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight was so bad, Netflix has actually just been hit with a class-action lawsuit over it, TMZ Sports has learned.

Court documents we obtained show Ronald "Blue" Denton filed the suit in Florida on Monday ... just three days after he says he and thousands of others struggled to watch Netflix's broadcast of El Gallo's big win over Iron Mike.

Denton claims that as soon as he and others tuned in to the broadcast at around 8 PM ET on Friday -- they "were faced with legendary problems, including: no access, streaming glitches, and buffering issues."

Mike Tyson isn't the only nearly 60-year-old former boxing champion returning to the ring ... Oliver McCall -- known for shocking the world with his knock out of Lennox Lewis in 1994 -- will be fighting at 59 years old!

McCall -- who last fought in 2019 -- will face 54-year-old Stacy Frazier in a four-round sanctioned fight at the Troubadour Theater in Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday.

The two men faced off with each other at weigh-ins on Tuesday, with McCall tipping the scales at 251.2 pounds ... and Frazier coming in at 228.4 pounds.

Post Malone is heading back to the desert -- the superstar singer is headlining Coachella 2025 before taking his show on the road for a "Big Ass" stadium tour.

Posty revealed his upcoming slate of gigs on Tuesday ... and the first two dates in the lineup are April 13 and 20 in Indio, CA -- which fall on Sundays of Weekends 1 and 2 at the massive music festival.

We're told the "I Had Some Help" crooner is, in fact, one of the three main acts for Coachella ... which means he will likely close out the whole shebang.

The stars of "Gladiator 2" turned the Hollywood premiere into their own Colosseum showdown, strutting down the red carpet like warriors -- and every one of them brought their A-game to claim the spotlight.

The scene at TCL Chinese Theatre Monday night was pure glam, with actors Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal, and director Ridley Scott soaking up the vibes -- snapping pics, signing autographs, and setting the stage for a parade of stylish celeb arrivals.

Snoop Dogg and his wife, Shante Broadus, were all smiles on the red carpet, serving major couple goals in matching white outfits.

Chicago Bulls legend Bob Love has passed away following a battle with cancer, the team announced. He was 81 years old.

"Bob is one of the original Bulls greats," Jerry Reinsdorf, Chicago Bulls chairman, said in a statement. "During his nine seasons with the Bulls, Bob became a cornerstone of the franchise, and his tenacious defense set high standards for competition and toughness."

"Toughness was not only a trademark of Bob’s play on the court, but also apparent in his resiliency throughout his basketball career."

Peyton Manning wasn't all that impressed with Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul .... 'cause the Hall of Fame signal-caller took a shot at the fight during the Cowboys-Texans "Monday Night Football" game!

The roasting happened during the "ManningCast" ... when a skirmish broke out in the first quarter of the game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. Bill Belichick, a weekly guest on the show, mentioned the stadium hosted a big fight on Friday ... Tyson vs. Paul, which went down at Jerry's World, too.

Manning laughed ... and offered this quip back.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was one for the record books ... as the massive event generated one of the biggest gates for any boxing or MMA spectacle in U.S. history!!

Paul's Most Valuable Promotions dropped the official numbers Tuesday morning ... saying total ticket revenue for the fight was $18.1 million -- which beat the previous Texas record of $9 milli held by Canelo Álvarez ... and is the most for any combat sports event outside of Las Vegas.

Overall, it came out as the ninth-highest combat sports gate America has ever seen.

An NHL referee was stretchered off the ice and taken to the hospital on Monday night ... but, thankfully, it appears he's going to be OK.

The scary scene all unfolded in the middle of the Avalanche vs. Flyers game in Philadelphia ... after Colorado defenseman Josh Manson accidentally crashed into Mitch Dunning near the blue line.

Manson hit Dunning in the back with such force that it caused the official to lose his balance and tumble to the ice. For several moments, Dunning then lay motionless as trainers raced to his aid.

Boxing fans want to see Jake Paul take on a "real" challenge after beating Mike Tyson ... and well, they might get their wish -- 'cause heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois just called him out for a fight.

The 27-year-old IBF title holder extended the offer to El Gallo ... saying, "Hi Jake, good business on the weekend but how would you feel fighting for the legitimate heavyweight championship of the world this is Daniel Dubois calling you out."

"Let's get it on."

Donald Trump's smooth moves have made their way to the soccer pitch ... Christian Pulisic was just seen on Monday night hitting the President-Elect's now-viral dance after a goal!!

The 26-year-old U.S. men's national soccer team star busted out the gyrations just after tickling the twine against Jamaica in the first few minutes of their tilt at CityPark in St. Louis, MO.

Pulisic -- nicknamed Captain America -- rushed to one of the corners of the field ... jumped up and down, and then began the dance that Trump's hit repeatedly while "YMCA" has blared over speakers on his campaign trail.

Late Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield's Florida estate is up for sale ... TMZ has learned.

Tim's waterfront mansion hit the market Friday ... and it's listed for $3.3 million.

Tim lived in the 4-bedroom home in Indian Harbour Beach, FL when he died from brain cancer.

Sorry, fight fans, don't expect Francis Ngannou to share the ring with Jake Paul ... 'cause The Predator tells TMZ Sports that scrap will never happen!

We caught up with the former UFC heavyweight champion following the wildly successful Netflix boxing event that saw 60 million households tune in for Paul's unanimous decision win over Mike Tyson -- and we asked him about his tweet, saying he'd slap El Gallo the next time he saw Jake.

With fans pumped at the prospect of a Paul and Ngannou fight, we had to see if there was a chance. Unfortunately, the 38-year-old wasn't having it, saying the prospect of them sharing the ring is straight up disrespectful.

AT&T Stadium is undergoing some changes after all -- but its got nothing to do with a tarp blocking the sun -- 'cause a massive piece of roof fell ahead of the Texans-Cowboys Monday Night Football game.

It happened on Monday afternoon as the retractable domed roof was opening a couple of hours before kickoff in Arlington, TX ... so fans could enjoy the night sky for the first time in two years.

Unfortunately, while the roof was opening, a humongous piece from the roof fell ... which was then documented by several reporters who shared photos and video of the big hunk of sheet metal as it lay on the sidelines.

Thankfully, no one was injured.
