Streaming Issues
From nearly the start of the undercard bouts, the streamer was freezing, losing sound and proving slow to reload. Across the country, fight fans took to social media to air their grievances.
“Buffering on and off, pixelated image, muffled sound,” said in complaints that were common Friday.
“They wanted the big event, and they are fumbling it.
Tonight’s fights were the most ambitious live sports event the Ted Sarandos and Greg Peter’s run Netflix has ever undertaken.
Yet, with all the issues customers were encountering, the streamer had no comment on the technical difficulties when contacted by Deadline.
Still, Jerry Jones kind of said it all for many when the Dallas Cowboys owner’s microphone died in the 80,000 and more packed stadium and online as he was praising working with Netflix.
Netflix really fumbled tonight. My TV has frozen and buffered about 15 times so far. Sound cutting in and out.
The streaming issues are of significant note as Netflix has exclusive rights to both NFL Christmas Day games next month.
“I’ve been having streaming issues during live action on Netflix - and I’m dreading freezing and buffering during Paul-Tyson.
As well as soon to be the multi-year home of WWE‘s Monday Night Raw, Netflix will be showing live NFL games on Christmas Day.
In the lead-up to 58-year-old Tyson and 27-year-old Paul putting up their dukes in the former’s first professional-ist fight in almost 20 years, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano battled it out for IBF, WBA, WBC, and WBO titles.
Like HBO matches of years past, Netflix’s coverage of the match had a lot of self promotion with Squid Game and Cobra Kai cameos and promos getting airtime, and stars like Furoisa herself Charlize Theron, Joe Jonas, NBA legend Shaq O’Neil and NFL legend Rob Gronkowski ringside.
In that vein, digital stumbles and all notwithstanding, tonight’s fight certainly felt like the classic Tyson matches of the 1980s and 1990s - at least in terms of format.
An announcement in March revealed that boxing legend Mike Tyson would return to the ring after nearly two decades to take on YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
Will Tyson, who's the betting underdog, be able to overcome the stark age difference in his first pro fight since 2005?
