1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: You're on News Talk CB. It is twenty seven minutes

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: after five. I felt bad watching those eight rounds in

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: the ring with Mike Tyson de Duw. I felt bad

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: for him, the fifty eight year old. What on earth

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: was he doing in there? Twenty million US dollars from

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Netflix Apparently that's what they paid him. That's what he

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: was doing there. His net worths about ten million. He

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: went bankrupt a few years ago. Of course we went

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: to prison. Was worth three hundred million. Anyway, he needed money,

10
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: poor old Mike Tyson. And Netflix paid the other guy,

11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: Jake Paul forty million dollars. Gate ticket sales. Gate ticket

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: sales are from AT and T Stadium brought in close

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: to US eighteen million dollars and seventy thousand fans. And

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Netflix will they won the fight with sixty five million

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: viewers at peak. It's part of a new strategy that

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: they've got to get live sport events to their subscribers,

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: including those that are paying less but getting fed ads

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: on the platform. This is their clever strategy. So their

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: ad supported flip platform now accounts for fifty percent of

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: their new sign ups. It's grown to seventy million new

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: US in newss in just two years. It's credible. These

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: big tech bro Silicon Valley giant media companies, you know,

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: YouTube's all of those types. They're just going from strength

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: to strength, aren't they. And they're the ones that have

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: our attention. There are one, two, and three most streamed

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: in New Zealand and yet we here in New Zealand

27
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: and Australia are trying to force them into news content

28
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: deals with us. We're battling with taxpayers cash to reinvigorate

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: failing state media companies to compete with these guys and

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: are doomed to fail battle. We're like the fifty eight

31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: year old Mike Tyson who apparently nearly died before entering

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: the ring. They are the annoying twenty seven year old

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: new to boxing but bringing in the eyeballs Jake Paul,

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: these big tech companies. So what do we need to do?

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Keep fighting, get more bloodied, get more bruised, or create

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: partnerships and try and get our content to their eyeballs.
