Michael Jackson's SuperBowl halftime in 1993 broke record for being the first show to have more viewers than the SuperBowl itself. He was the only act in history where NFL offered to pay the artist, but it went to his charity at the time 'Heal LA' which helped struggling youth.

In Super Bowl history, the 1993 halftime show remains one of the most legendary performances ever. The NFL invited Michael Jackson to perform during a time when halftime viewership was declining. Instead of viewers tuning out, his performance became so iconic that the audience during halftime actually surpassed the viewership of the first half.

From Marching Bands to Moonwalks: How the Super Bowl Halftime Became HUGE 🏈🎤 It started as a boring break with university bands, pigeons, and jetpacks in 1967. Then Fox's In Living Color special in '92 stole millions of viewers... forcing the NFL to go big. Michael Jackson's 1993 moonwalk changed EVERYTHING—ratings exploded, and it became the biggest music stage on Earth. From Prince in the rain to Kendrick breaking records, wild evolution! What's YOUR all-time favorite halftime show? And did the NFL drop the ball with this year's show?

You don’t have to beat the NFL in size to beat them in efficiency. Attention is the product. And a lot of it went elsewhere. #Superbowl #BadBunny #TPUSA

Bad Bunny’s over-the-top performance, anti-ICE stance, and Spanish-only songs show exactly who the league is trying to reach — and who it’s leaving behind.” #CultureWar #SuperBowl #BadBunny #NFL

From Someone that went to the Superbowl, I don’t think anyone liked the Halftime Show. I don’t know why anyone supports this garbage anymore. That’s coming from someone that used to watch it all the time.
