·1 min
The much-anticipated boxing match between a prominent social media influencer and a legendary former heavyweight champion ended in disappointment at a major stadium in Arlington, Texas. The influencer was declared the winner after eight uneventful rounds, as the former champion appeared fatigued. Spectators both in the stadium and watching at home expressed their dissatisfaction, with the streaming service airing the fight facing technical issues.
### A Made-for-Streaming Spectacle
Despite the underwhelming main event, it was part of a grand spectacle spread over several days. An incident at their weigh-in added drama, and after the match, the fighters appeared to reconcile. The influencer, with an impressive boxing record since 2020, secured victory against the former champion who last fought officially in 2005.
To enhance the viewing experience for over 280 million subscribers, the streaming service featured thematic content, including characters from an upcoming series update and a trailer for an anticipated movie release.
