With a boxing stream, a Twitch streamer broke the previous record for most concurrent watchers. There is no denying the popularity of boxing streams and YouTube events during the past few years. Humans are extremely basic creatures, and they enjoy witnessing physical violence. When event organisers pair streamers and content makers, the fact that there is a significant culture surrounding them makes for a perfect pairing. Naturally, over the past few years, boxing matches between influencers have grown immensely popular as a kind of entertainment. Although some of these incidents are the subject of considerable doubt as to their veracity, it hasn’t stopped people from being fascinated by them.
Ibai, a Spanish Twitch streamer, broke the platform’s previous record with his “La Velada del Ao II” boxing event, which peaked at 3.3 million concurrent views. In other words, there was a tonne of interest in the event even before the big marquee moment because the record was set before the major event was ever broadcast. TheGrefg previously held the record with 2.4 million viewers during a webcast in which he unveiled a Fortnite skin of himself. It goes without saying that there is a significant difference between the content being streamed and the numbers provided by the two streams.
It’s unclear if Ibai will be able to surpass these statistics with a subsequent boxing event, but it’s not impossible. Ibai is quickly becoming as one of the greatest ways to watch these boxing matches, and after breaking this record, it’s likely to keep upping the ante, luring in bigger artists, and doing a lot more. It also wouldn’t be surprising if other influencers began hosting boxing events after learning about the phenomenal success the Spanish Twitch streamer has had with his. This demonstrates Twitch’s growth into a significant platform for activities other than gaming, despite the network’s beginnings as a game-only website.
