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

Netflix: [image] X: Peter Yared / @peteryared : 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 : 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 : 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. Mark Gurman / @markgurman : 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 Joe Flint / @jbflint : So is Peacock the standard bearer for streaming big events now? Joe Flint / @jbflint : And yes Amazon you do a good job too. Jeez! Dave Portnoy / @stoolpresidente : Things are going bad to worse. #netflix #tysonpaul [video] Alex Kantrowitz / @kantrowitz : Bad fight, but the night was great spectacle. Undercard was terrific. Netflix better fix those streaming issues. It has the NFL coming next month. Christina Warren / @film_girl : 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. Rich DeMuro / @richontech : I don't know who has to hear this but if you're streaming Hot Frosty on Netflix right now, it can wait Taylor Soper / @taylor_soper : Yoooo come on Netflix Christina Warren / @film_girl : 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) Ashlee Vance / @ashleevance : Oh fuck. Netflix broke Rich DeMuro / @richontech : The only knockout in this fight was Netflix's reputation [image] Larry Madowo / @larrymadowo : Nearly 3 million people watching the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight on Twitter! 🤯 https://x.com/... Robert Graham / @erratarob : 🧵So let's talk about the difficulties Netflix is having streaming the Tyson v Paul fight, how the stream gets from there to your TV/computer. This will a longish thread. Rat King / @mikeisaac : please Netflix no more slo mo replays of jake paul panting like a dog Alex Konrad / @alexrkonrad : First round goes to the buffering wheel #TysonPaul [video] Rat King / @mikeisaac : holy moly the streaming crapping out right as Tyson walks in how does this happen Tanmay Bhat / @thetanmay : Respect for Hotstar engineers through the roof today. Holy cow this Paul Tyson fight stream on Netflix is awful. Robert Graham / @erratarob : I ask because I've seen problems with TVs running a Netflix app, but not within the browser. Robert Graham / @erratarob : 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? Rat King / @mikeisaac : ill tell you what isnt so gallantly streaming my Netflix connection!!! Joe Flint / @jbflint : Get it together. [image] Joe Flint / @jbflint : Where's the buffering when I need it? [image] @eyesaymeme : Mike Tyson's Ass Frozen on my TV 🙄 THANKS NETFLIX! #PaulTyson #NetflixStreams [video] Kevin Adams / @kevinadams26 : Netflix really fumbling tonight. My TV has frozen and buffered about 15 times so far. Sound cutting in and out. What a shit show. Alex Sherman / @sherman4949 : Remember, Netflix has Christmas NFL games this year Alex Sherman / @sherman4949 : The big winners so far tonight are cable and broadcast networks Ludwig / @ludwigahgren : netflix finding out livestreaming is harder than a 9-5 Forums: r/television : Netflix's Live Mike Tyson Vs.

    Hey @netflix, I have 400 mbs internet, and your live stream of the PaulTyson fight is garbage quality.

    Someone at Netflix is being fired tomorrow lol Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul
  • @tori_q_18 @tori_q_18 on threads
    The real fight is between Netflix and its servers... Paul vs. Tyson
  • @raina_burks_ Raina Burks on threads
    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??
  • @melissajacobs.bsky.social Melissa Jacobs on bluesky
    Netflix honoring the Tyson era by using dial up service tonight.

    Thanks Netflix for giving me the real 480p experience of a Mike Tyson fight like it's 1986

    Maybe Netflix can just mail us the fight. #tyson #netflix
  • @garywhitta.bsky.social Gary Whitta on bluesky
    Everyone blaming Netflix for the Tyson fight streaming issues but the real problem is too many people watching Hot Frosty.

    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.

    Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul versus Netflix doing an impression of 1990s dial up Internet.
  • @rexchapman.bsky.social Rex Chapman on bluesky
    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?
