mike tyson has changed. probably for the better. t i feel like deep down, a lot of us were hoping that if tyson knocked this kid out, the universe would've corrected itself. it didn't. donald trump is still president-elect. he didn't attend the tyson fight, though his presence was definitely felt. but he was at ufc 309 at madison square garden saturday. trump took a much-needed break from raiding insane asylums for cabinet picks for a little proud boys night out with these guys. >> republican party well represented here at ufc 309. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: dork, dork, goose, another dork. that's don jr., eric, vivek ramaswamy, and ufc superfan mike johnson. oh, man, does mike johnson love mixed martial arts. he never misses a match. they flew in with dondre the giant, who was spotted with two of his bigliest fans, kid rock and elon musk. there they are, three guys who'll all have top-level security clearance in two months. after the fight, trump loaded the whole "grab 'em by the posse" on his plane. there is a lot going on in this phot

i also watched the jake paul mike tyson fight when they did have those streaming issues, some sort oftop start, kind of freezing up issues didn't not that i saw last night or yesterday. i didn't see it happen. so did it hit or miss? it's it's mark. >> you know, i, i enjoyed it, but i do understand that there were some glitches for different people. and so i've been hearing through the grapevine the different critics and other people responding there, giving it a b+ in terms of its ratings. but the the main goal, as you just pointed out, was to make sure that the beyoncÉ bowl went off without a hitch. and by the time it was time for queen bee to perform, everyone was more than happy with what they saw because there were no glitches. unlike the jake paul and mike tyson fight that you just referenced a few moments ago. >> yeah, i mean, that show it was and it was super bowl halftime show worthy. i mean, frankly, i thought better than a lot of the most recent ones. anyway, it was fantastic. >> no, you're right about that. you're right about that. jim, let me say this one thing. i do belie

internet sensation and the historic side of watching mike tyson at his age come out and fight. game on christmas day and beyonci■at halftime, but it does -- >> beyonce may get more viewership? >> look, if you look at the way the super bowl works, the peak time is during halftime. those are the big events. netflix is brilliant in terms of bringing in a musical act to really spike, pun intended, halftime performance, but i still think it is a smaller event. i think what is surprising to us, the thing that we never anticipated. when netflix started talking about their live event strategy, we thought it was all about driving advertising. advertisers love the event. you were over in paris for the olympics. advertisers warm up on live events. they want live programming. that is what we thought what is the parrot -- about that when you look at peacock and paramount+ and netflix during the fight, they have added more subscribers from these major sporting events than we ever anticipated and i think that is what has been really surprising. even for netflix and their scale, adding 1 milli

signed on two more years for holiday games and the near trouble free game after the glitch filled mike tysonnk netflix has redeemed itself? >> i think so. obviously, they will continue to get better. i never thought i would be saying on cnbc i agree with al michaels, but what he said just before the segment is exactly right. amazon figured it out. netflix will figure it out. these are just technology issues on the back end. they'll figure it out. we see strong upside potential for 2025. it remains a position and we capitalize on any goals in the maximum stock. >> you would hold this position knowing disney and others are pouring more money aggressively into their streaming platforms? >> yeah because in short they are better and better at producing content and more efficient manner than any of the other networks or studios. >> what is your balance? are you trimming positions or rotating away from the under performers this year? >> we have been trimming semis like we just talked about. as you look into 2025, really, the themes we're investing in is about decentralization of currency. we are le

as for the technical part of the games after the mike tyson and jake paul glitches, the ceo and nfl commissionern good talks. back over to you, frank. >> let's talk more about netflix push into live sports and the media rights and other content with the tech media and telecom analyst. great to have you here. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> ted says netflix after years of not getting into live are now getting into live because people love it. you know what people don't like? glitches and problems and issues with the games. what is the expectation with the games on christmas day? not to mention the mariah carey concert and beyonce concert. a lot going on here. >> a lot going on. it will be a blockbuster event. everyone will want to tune in. you hit the nail on the head. it is all about delivering for fans on a global basis. this will set netflix up for future success not only in live, but particularly in the area of sports in general. you know, they are steadily built up to the moment in the well documented issues that have been talked about. it has addressed some of those issues. now

. >> as for concerns about technical glitches in last month's mike tyson/jake paul fight, the nfl commissioner is confident in that netflix has the streaming capabilities and is in couch with netflix's ceo. >> thanks to julia for that. my next guest says shares have performed much better and growth is likely to low down. he has a neutral rating for the stock. the stock is trading at $930 right now. let's bring in barton. great to have you on board. >> happy holidays to you. >> $680 price target, the stock is trading at $930 right now. i don't imagine that your price target is hinging on the nfl game, but you're a little bearish on the company. so first question for you, do you think netflix can pull it off? >> look, i think that this is a really big test, and, look, they did really surprisingly well with the audience that they pulled in for this tyson/paul fight, over 100 million views globally. 35% share in primetime of 18 to 49. like half a super bowl but twice a regular season nfl game in this country. so the question is, can they elevate sports that they carry generally, like they did with

overall, the streaming giant didn't suffer the same issues we saw during that infamous jake paul mike tyson> it was a real pain at that time, watching that fight, for sure. the early matchup saw the steelers hosting the chiefs. this one was all kansas city who relied on a big game from their star quarterback and tight end patrick mahomes, of course, and travis kelce. then the two celebrated in the locker room in christmas style. and they were also joined by santa claus, who was actually chiefs head coach andy reid. kansas city won 29 to 10 and locked up the number one seed in the afc. >> we know that our work isn't done for sure. we know we're going to celebrate this, but we we're going to get right back on it. we've got a good denver team that we're going up to play, and we've got the playoffs coming up. >> so you know it's a it's a it's an honor to be the number one seed. but at the same time we know from last year anybody can can beat somebody anywhere. so it's just being focused knowing that we got to be smart with the time that we have and finish this thing off. >> meanwhile, ravens qu

overall, the streaming giant didn't suffer the same issues we saw during that infamous jake paul mike tysonting the chiefs. kansas city won 29 to 10, according to netflix. people from more than 200 countries watched the game, making it the second most popular live event on netflix.

plus people see the jake paul mike tyson fight couple weeks ago have had technical issues. so it's smart of netflix to do, but they're spending a lot of money. so there is some risk that the from plus one. yeah, pretty expensive. and a lot of people did tune in for that, some of my family. >> also tuned in. okay. let's talk about some that may be a little hungry mcdonald's are offering 10 piece chicken nuggets for just a buck. yeah. >> what what i got out of this story once you have to have. and like kids this that they went crazy, psycho get so so we got $10 for one dollar for 10 chicken nuggets. now, not thp healthiest food, but it's all about the app. and once they have your app, they're going start pushing more messages come back for a quarter pounder comeback for a free coke. so again, restaurants, they're having a tough time of it with a higher food costs to new. and i'd be a little bit tougher with our wants to open him up. so things like this really creates loyalty. and mcdonald's has had some problems this year food quality. and therefore, i think it's a good way f

netflix, they come up with things like jake paul versus mike tyson. and it did huge viral and numbers. i tried -- what the hell was that where it didn't work? at least where i was trying. didn't matter. millions watched it. we're ten days from the start of "squid game 2." take that, "fire country." we watch all -- hell, fire -- we had all sort of programs from other countries because we've been taught by netflix to like subtitles. it's insane how good this company is. honestly, convincing americans to read subtitles may be the most important cultural event of the 21st century. ♪ [ applause ] >> yet wall street doubted netflix the whole way when it came to the ad-supported subscriptions tier. they didn't get it perfect out of the box. many who followed the company presumed it was a bust. it was hardly a bust. it's going to get bigger and bigger. it's easy to say that i wasn't -- anyone could have had it, but those who spend their lives examining this company thought otherwise. they said stay away. and they're the professionals. who are we to doubt the

there were a lot of questions coming into this, particularly coming off the mike tyson and jake paulith streaming issues there. what's the verdict on how the streaming giant pulled it off? >> there were no technical difficulties. if some people experienced them, it was minor. nothing like the buffering and freezing we saw for the tyson/paul fight. we don't know exactly how many people tuned in. we know that last month, over 65 milln concurrent streams for that boxing fight. unclear if the nfl games brought in that many. beyonce -- >> i was waiting for this. >> bringing the heat. this felt like the super bowl. i was with my husband's family. there were 15 of us watching the screen. i can't tell you how many of them kept saying, this feels like the super bowl. she had post malone, she had her daughter make an appearance. it was really impressive. she's teasing a surprise for january 14th. >> we will watch. a lot of people saying the performance, the highlight of both games. >> 100%. maybe of the end of the year. >> we will see. thanks so much. >>> if you are not happy with what santa o

listen we saw mike tyson.e had to take the fight, maybe not win the fight but he was in a dire situation. no one thought jim carey was in that situation. people are looking at this like how can i retire if these guys can't retire? >> well, it's a very difficult thing to do for apparently not only normal everyday americans, but for celebrities, and it's because of the nature of money like elvis presley, prince, i mean, howard hughes at the time the richest person on the planet, they were very miserable, very unhappy. you know, you had jim carey said i have enough, i've done enough, i am enough but apparently he doesn't have enough, and he has to go back and work like many people that go into retirement thinking they have enough. and they don't. charles: so but we know to your point, more people are working longer. they are coming back out of retirement so is it a myth? is there a path to really retiring comfortably? >> there is a path but it's a difficult one, and a lot of danger. so, i always tell people, look

netflix's concurrent viewers globally were watching and that viewership was behind only the jake paul-mike tysont viewers of any christmas than in the past four years thanks to those games. now netflix is bringing in an estimated $150 million in ad revenue for yesterday's two games which is the same it reportedly cost to license them, though that does not include the cost of beyonce's halftime show. all that spend is expected to bring in not just the ad dollars but more subscribers and keep current subscribers happy. netflix is continuing its investment in sports just five days ago signing a deal to show the fifa women's world cups in 2027 and 2031 and in january netflix launches its wwe shows with its live wwe raw shows on monday night. and netflix is using its sports investments to promote its original series like "squid games" second season which premiered today on the heels of the nfl games. this is the last quarter that investors will know whether or not these programs bring in new subscribers because netflix is going to stop reporting subscriber numbers starting next year as the company wo

i'm sure we all remember the jake paul/mike tyson fight just a month ago.rised everybody, i think, by pulling off these nfl broadcasts without all the technical glitches that marred the boxing broadcast. so in terms of inevitability, i think that, you know, it was necessary for netflix to start moving more into this space. i don't know that the migration of the nfl and sporting events necessarily had to happen that fast, but it was definitely going to happen eventually. >> yeah, so it was a painful day. i was a steelers fan, i didn't want to watch much after the first game. the other question i have is, we see more and more live sports moving to streaming events. you've got nbc that's carrying premier league. you've got the nba is moving to different streaming platforms. one of the concerns that a lot of consumers have is, will wait a minute, i may not be able to see my local team as much, if they are being caught up on these streamers. but they are concerned that as more of these sort of pay to play streamers get involved in sports, that fans will have act

overall the streaming giant did not suffer the same issues it did during that infamous jake paul mike tysonht. the early matchup saw the steelers hosting the chiefs. this one was all kansas city, which relied on a big game from star quarterback patrick mahomes and tight end travis kelce. then the two celebrated in the locker room christmas style. there was also and there were also joined by santa claus, who was actually coach. head coach andy reid. kansas city won 29 to 10 and locked up the number one seed in the afc. >> know that our work isn't done for sure. we know we're going to celebrate this, but we we're going to get right back on it. we've got a good denver team that we're going up to play and we've got the playoffs coming up. >> so you know it's a it's a it's an honor to be the number one seed. but at the same time we know from last year anybody can can beat somebody anywhere. so it's just being focused knowing that we got to be smart with the time that we have and finish this thing off. >> meantime, ravens quarterback lamar jackson continued his big season and ran all over the tex

it's the latest foray into sports this year after the jake paul ersus mike tyson fight.ia boorstin has the details, and we are expecting the numbers any minute now, right julia? >> any minute now, melissa. i was just checking to see if they had come in. nielsen is going to be reporting how many people watched nfl's -- the netflix nfl games, but early indications, just from what we've heard so far from netflix are positive. netflix reporting that nearly 200 countries tune into the pregame show and netflix reported that during the chiefs versus steelers game, nearly a third of all of its concurrent viewers all around the world were watching, with more concurrent viewers than any christmas in the past four years, and viewership only behind the tyson/paul fight. the nba christmas games averaged 5.25 million viewers per game in the u.s., the league's most-watched christmas day in five years. the lakers/warriors match-up with 8 million viewers. those numbers are notable, because it's bouncing back from a 20% decline in nba ratings up until this past week. now, netflix is bring

yeah, i think we all witnessed it with that mike tyson paul fight a couple of weeks ago, and our scottes to find out when it comes to these big ticket events, that millions of people will watch. it gets even trickier. good morning. on christmas day, netflix will stream not just a football game, but football game with a big star at halftime. there are also games on nfl plus and paramount. streaming is fundamentally different than broadcast because with broadcast like you're watching now, it makes no difference if another person joins in to watch or a thousand people or a million people. it's all the same to tv stations. we just send out one signal. streaming is far different. it matters how many people watch, because the more that watch, the bigger the load on the servers. video from our peacock streaming service from our first try at a streaming a game last year, it went just fine. big christmas ahead. are all the computers ready? yes they are. well, you know, i tell you, it's the internet. that's the challenge. i think there's a lot of capacity that can be built on the back end of the

. >> and said that working with you was like training with mike tyson. >> oh, it was without the biting>> you still got your ear? >> yeah. she didn't bite any ears off. no, it was like. it prime. >> and jodie, you know, you are obviously a mentor of sorts i guess for all the newcomers and younger actresses, you decided that you wanted your character, liz danvers, to be aged up. >> well, my age. yes. your age? yes. >> but putting navarro's story as the center. yeah. is that right? >> yeah. and i think he should probably wanted that too. but it was something that i really wanted to remind us that we we were doing something that really isn't done very much. just to have the central voice of the film be an indigenous voice, to be look through those eyes in a way, not just because we're doing representation, but because we really want to be in that body and really understand it from that perspective. and so for to do that, i'm just here to support. so i kind of reverse engineered my character of liz danvers to support kaylee's character's journey. >> that doesn't happen often. >> well, you k

and as the mike tyson and j paul site drew about 60 million households, these gains are seen as not justs but also subscriber retention in the u.s. where netflix adoption is so high. if tomorrow's games work technically and by reaching a new, more global audience for the nfl, it would set the stage for the nfl's continued global expansion and potentially, even more lucrative deals. these christmas games, as the nfl plans a record eight international games next year, up from five this year and the nfl says it is considering groaning to as many as 16 international gains. >> this is important, to build our sport international, we need to being the -- bring the best content, but we need to have media to reach their gains effectively, each market is different as you get into these international markets and netflix helps us get into these effectively. >> tomorrow's games are successful, it could give amazon a reason to renegotiate its contracts early, it can opt out of most of its media deals after the 28-29 season and expand partnership with netflix and create a new package of international g

kate, you know, the the mike tyson fight in november, it was literally breaking the internet.ght. they just literally was burned. right. and that, you know that was netflix. we understand what netflix is. it is also not a regular channel that can handle the overload. and so here we go with the nfl with two netflix games, $150 million, it makes a lot of sense that the nfl wants these games. that's what they are getting to put them on. but the fact is, we don't know what's going to happen when so many football fans, you know, our national pastime, nfl football, so many fans want to watch these games. in the midst of those nba games we were just talking about. so it'll be fascinating to see. i imagine there'll be some, you know, controversy. there'll probably be some people who are angry calling, who knows, who call netflix and and say, how in the world can we get these games? so we'll watch that very closely. and you're right, beyonce is a halftime show. oh boy. you know, now we are talking about a real issue for netflix. we'll see how they perform today. >> no. and that is like

ahead of friday's fight between youtuber jake paul and boxing legend mike tyson, netflix streamed a feweconds of tyson's bare butt. even worse, a full hour of jake paul's face.

noteworthy that netflix kind of had to do an exceptional job, given how poorly they did with the mike tysonaul fight from about a month ago. right. which which was not was marred by glitches by problems. and people were saying, i didn't pay all this money just to sit around and watch a bunch of, you know, watch a computer crash. and so when you have your biggest challenge, which is not actually football, it's actually beyonce coming out and putting on a 13 minute concert. they proved that they are up to the task. and so i wouldn't be surprised to see not only this kind of partnership, which runs through 2026 with the nfl, but also to see similar kinds of concert events broadcast on netflix because they've just proved that they can handle it. >> and i'll be honest, i was white knuckling it like i was worried that there was going to be more glitches throughout, but i mean, everything seemed pretty smooth. the former congressman, what was your take on it? >> yeah, look, media is changing. everything's changing. we're not going back. so i found the the concert awesome. the game's awesome. but w

after those tech issues plagued their marquee boxing match between mike tyson and jake paul.e can safely say, though, that beyonce delivered did. netflix. joining us now to discuss more about that, cnn sports analyst and usa today sports columnist christine brennan. christine, great to see you. thanks so much for being here. i want to talk about the games, but i also want to talk about the fact that we pretty much had an almost super bowl halftime show there. what did you think of how they put this whole package together? >> jessica, you nailed it. that's it. this was super bowl esque about, what, two months before the super bowl, a month and a half before the super bowl. brilliant move by the nfl, which continues to dominate the sports landscape. they get it. they've understood marketing for years. this is our national pastime. the nfl obviously football americans love it. they can't get enough of it. and and you know we've thought about super bowl sunday of course which is like a national holiday. we certainly know that the nfl has a game of the week right. they have they h
