ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jake Paul cruised to a unanimous decision over Mike Tyson in a fight where a 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-prizefighter defeated a 58-year-old heavyweight legend.

It was a generational clash that drew more than 70,000 fans at AT&T Stadium to the tune of an $18.1 million gate and streamed live on Netflix to hundreds of millions of viewers across the globe amid buffering problems throughout the broadcast. The in-ring action may not have thoroughly entertained those watching, but it delivered a once-in-a-lifetime pop culture experience.
