Many Netflix viewers faced issues while watching the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight and the undercard bouts, including the stream glitching and losing sound
From nearly the start of the undercard bouts from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the streamer has been freezing, losing sound and proving slow to reload.

Can't even get the Tyson/Paul fight to load. This will be devastating for AOL, which I assume is what Netflix used for this.

The Netflix stream of the Tyson fight is a disaster. Frozen screen. Loading for minutes at a time. Some audio.

Is the Netflix stream (for the Tyson fight) freezing for everyone or do I just have bad internet service? It seems like this happens often with Netflix live events/high demand shows.

Why do I have this feeling that this Tyson fight is going to be remembered not for the fight, but as a Netflix buffering debacle?

Trying not to jinx myself but my stream is 1080p and flawless and we've got it on 3 devices. (Gigabit fiber through a provider that typically has its shit together tho)

Netflix has 6 weeks to identify the issue and fix it before the NFL on Christmas Day. It's one thing for there to be angry viewers during an exhibition boxing match. It's another to piss off the NFL>

This sort of reminds me of when I watch the Pacquiao and Mayweather on meerkat and periscope off of strangers pay per view. The interesting stuff was what happened online, not the fight itself.

Netflix had a bunch of issues during tonight's fight. Tens of thousands of people had problems watching. Those who did watch complained about the caliber of the main card. And yet... the viewership numbers will be huge. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
