Netflix’s 41 million boxing breakthrough: What it means for live sports
About this episode
Terence Crawford and Canelo Álvarez’s title fight helped Netflix draw a record-breaking 41 million viewers — a milestone that could reshape the future of live sports. In this episode of StreamTime Sports, co-hosts Nick Meacham and Chris Stone explore how Netflix is disrupting traditional pay-per-view models and challenging the status quo of sports broadcasting. The conversation also spans Ligue 1’s subscription experiment, Amazon’s surprising partnership with The Masters, and the WNBA’s impressive growth this season.
Key Points:
- Is Netflix about to make pay-per-view obsolete?
- Will platforms like YouTube and Netflix become the new gatekeepers of live sports?
- Can Ligue 1’s new €15-per-month platform survive?
- Why did Amazon choose The Masters, and why did Augusta choose Amazon?
- How significant is the WNBA’s viewership growth, even with Caitlin Clark sidelined?
