Netflix has traditionally been known for scripted shows and documentaries, but lately, they've been venturing into the world of sports programming.## Their recent documentary series like "Formula 1: Drive to Survive" and "Last Chance U: Basketball" have been well-received. This success is underscored by their upcoming partnership with WWE to stream their flagship show "Raw" live, starting in 2025. This move marks a significant strategic shift for Netflix.## Furthermore, Netflix is set to globally stream a highly anticipated heavyweight boxing match between YouTuber Jake Paul and former undisputed champion Mike Tyson. This is a major milestone for the streaming giant. ## During a recent press conference, UFC president Dana White commented on the possibility of working with Netflix. ## "In my opinion, Netflix should have gotten into live sports a long time ago," White said. "They're a bit behind the curve, but they're a powerhouse. Look at the global reach they have... You guys saw that show Reacher I posted about? I love it! I generally hate TV and rarely watch shows or movies anymore, but Reacher is fantastic. ## The beauty is, I can watch it whenever I want - at home, next week, whenever. Live sports, like this event tonight, are different. You have to watch them as they happen. As these massive streaming services continue to grow, getting involved in live sports is inevitable. Let's just say, I'm sure we'll be talking to them when our TV deal is up for renewal, along with everyone else." ## The streamer is leaning more into sports, another tactic in boosting its audience and holding onto subscribers. While they haven't gone all-in on live sports yet, their recent moves suggest they see potential in the market." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is scheduled to return to the ring for an exhibition match against YouTuber Jake Paul on July 20, 2024. The bout, which will be streamed on Netflix, has raised eyebrows in the fighting world, with UFC president Dana White expressing his reservations. ## White, a long-time friend of Tyson, has previously voiced his disapproval of the former heavyweight champion's return to boxing. During the UFC 299 post-fight press conference, White reiterated his concerns, highlighting the significant age difference between the 57-year-old Tyson and his 26-year-old opponent.## "He gets mad when I do this," White said, "but Mike's 60, man. I don't know what you guys think about it, who cares what I think, it's not my fight." ## Despite acknowledging their personal friendship and admiration for Tyson, White emphasized his worry: "I don't like to see guys fighting at... A 31-year age difference in that fight, you know." Whether Tyson can defy expectations and pull off a successful return against a much younger opponent remains to be seen. The fight has certainly generated buzz, but White's concerns echo a wider sentiment of unease surrounding the veteran boxer's comeback. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
