As Netflix faced prolonged issues with its stream of the Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul fight on Friday night, Antonio Brown made a clutch decision to ensure everybody could see the fight.
Netflix had severe buffering issues that froze the screen or just flat-out did not show anything leading up to the fight.
That is where Brown showed up.
The former Steelers wideout, who was in attendance at the fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, decided to set up a live stream from his phone and trained his camera on the big board in the stadium.
With that decision, people decided to tune away from Netflix and turn their full attention to his stream.
More than 6.6 million people locked in on his stream at its peak.
It was actually bigger than that.
Antonio Brown revealed early Saturday morning that the video had received 7.6 million views, his best mark ever.
Jake Paul saw what was going on and responded to Antonio Brown getting millions of people to watch his stream.
He even took a shot at the NBA.
Antonio Brown Is Likely To Pull A Stunt Like This Again
Antonio Brown likes attention.
On Saturday night, he got the most attention he’s gotten since he was in the NFL.
As buffering issues threw Netflix’s viewers of the Paul-Tyson fight into fury, Brown took to his X account to livestream the match from his seat.
The former Steelers and Buccaneers wide receiver posted up in a suite at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and got as many as 7 million people to tune in.
Because it was successful, Brown is likely to do this again in the future.
