Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul: A Record-breaking Netflix Event Fraught with Streaming Issues

60 Million Households Watched, Yet Streaming Glitches Raised Concerns
Netflix's first live boxing event featuring Mike Tyson, a former heavyweight champion, and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, attracted an audience of 60 million households worldwide.

Held at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, the fight marked Netflix’s debut in live sports streaming.

Despite the high-profile match, which ended with the 27-year-old Paul defeating the 58-year-old Tyson, many viewers faced technical difficulties.

Subscribers worldwide reported buffering problems and connectivity issues, making the event unwatchable for some.

These streaming glitches echoed previous issues Netflix has encountered during live broadcasts, such as the 'Love is Blind' reunion delay.

Fans took to social media to express their frustration over not seeing key moments of the fight.

The challenges highlight potential hurdles for Netflix as it plans to expand its offerings to include more live sports, including a new deal with WWE.

Tech reporter Chris Stokel-Walker noted that the high demand for this event, driven by the celebrities involved, likely contributed to Netflix's streaming woes, emphasizing the need for stronger infrastructure to support future live broadcasts.
