A lot of people signed up for Netflix to watch Jake Paul fight Mike Tyson
Briefly

Netflix's strategic investment in live events is yielding positive results, as highlighted by recent subscriber increases during major events. According to new data, the platform gained 1.43 million subscribers during the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight and 656,000 around NFL Christmas games. Although these numbers are small relative to Netflix's 300 million total subscribers, they represent a diversion from a steady daily signup rate post-password-sharing crackdown. Netflix plans to focus on high-profile programming and raised subscription prices to fund these initiatives, acknowledging that live events' unique appeal may enhance member engagement and company revenue.
