One of the most decorated and hyped-up boxing matches took place earlier today at the AT&T Stadium between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. With so much anticipation and hype, fans from all around the world tuned into Netflix to watch The Baddest Man on the Planet make his return to the ring.
The event itself featured several other bouts which had commendable hype and anticipation. However, it was an unpleasant experience if you streamed the event on Netflix as the OTT giant faced several issues throughout the stream.
Fans flooded the internet with several buffering problems and issues throughout the event facing interruptions in consistent live streaming.
Several X users stated how the stream lagged a lot and blamed Netflix for such poor service. It is certainly a worrying aspect for the OTT giant as the event featured Mike Tyson, who is probably the biggest name in history of Boxing and having such server problems in an event of this kind is underwhelming.
Image issues, flickering, buffering and irregular interruptions failed to give an optimum viewing experience to the viewers. We can’t ignore the fact that Netflix will also be streaming premiere WWE weekly shows next year and with this show of disappointment, it will be a tough task for Netflix officials to make it up.
I've been having streaming issues during live action on Netflix -- and I'm dreading freezing and buffering during Paul-Tyson. I guess servers just don't have the bandwith for the worldwide magnitude of this.

Bootleggers have better live streaming services than Netflix. Maybe if they raise there prices again it'll fix the problem. #tysonjake #Netflix
