  More people watched a social media influencer box against a 58-year-old than watched the final of the World Series, NBA Finals or Wimbledon.

  Breaking: The Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight on Netflix last night peaked at 65 million concurrent viewers, I'm told. That's up from 1.8 million concurrent streams for the Tom Brady roast earlier this year. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

  a remarkable number of people tuned in to watch what was simultaneously one of the most depressing and boring spectacles in recent memory

• @lucas_shaw Lucas Shaw on x

  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>

  Update from Netflix: 60M households watched the fight. (Peaked at 65M concurrent.) Bigger than just about everything but the Super Bowl, the Olympics and maybe some soccer/cricket.

  My excitement was misplaced.

• @lucas_shaw Lucas Shaw on x

  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/...

  Just missed round 2 of the Tyson vs Paul fight bc of all the buffering.  Thanks Netflix.  Who else is having to restart Netflix every 30 seconds??

  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.

• @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social Joaquin Castro on bluesky

  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.

• @juliuskim.bsky.social Julius Kim on bluesky

  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?

• @peteryared Peter Yared on x

  I used to run tech for CBS which included streaming the Superbowl. Core issue for Netflix is that they operate their own CDN which is not built for live. They don't have the operating capability and vendor relationships to do large scale live streaming.

• @lucas_shaw Lucas Shaw on x

  The Netflix fight last night had 65M concurrent viewers. That would make it one of the most-watched events in the world this year.

• @deggans @deggans on x

  We'll see. Netflix has a worldwide footprint. They may wind up drawing that many people on Xmas, when sportsa fans don't have a lot of similar options.

  Netflix CTO to employees on streaming issues: “This unprecedented scale created many technical challenges, which the launch team tackled brilliantly by prioritizing stability of the stream for the majority of viewers. I'm sure many of you have seen the chatter in the press and

  So is Peacock the standard bearer for streaming big events now?

  And yes Amazon you do a good job too. Jeez!

• @kantrowitz Alex Kantrowitz on x

  Bad fight, but the night was great spectacle. Undercard was terrific. Netflix better fix those streaming issues. It has the NFL coming next month.

• @film_girl Christina Warren on x

  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.

• @richontech Rich DeMuro on x

  I don't know who has to hear this but if you're streaming Hot Frosty on Netflix right now, it can wait

  Respect for Hotstar engineers through the roof today. Holy cow this Paul Tyson fight stream on Netflix is awful.

• @erratarob Robert Graham on x

  I ask because I've seen problems with TVs running a Netflix app, but not within the browser.

• @erratarob Robert Graham on x

  For those of you experiencing “buffering” issues on the Netflix TysonPaul stream, is the problem on a TV, iPad, iPhone, or web browser on a PC/laptop?
