Netflix Plagued by Major Streaming Issues During Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul Match – Jake Paul added another win to his record with a unanimous decision over boxing legend Mike Tyson in an eight-round bout on Friday night in Arlington, Texas. Despite the pre-fight buzz, the contest lacked excitement, and the overall night was overshadowed by widespread streaming issues on Netflix.
Judges scored the fight 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in favor of Paul. Tyson, at 58 years old, entered the fight with a knee brace and visibly slowed as the rounds progressed. Paul also appeared fatigued in later rounds. The lack of dramatic exchanges between the two fighters led to boos from the audience, disappointed by the subdued action.
Technical problems plagued Netflix’s broadcast, starting during the co-main event rematch between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor. Many users reported buffering, outages, and low-quality video, which created a storm of complaints on social media. These issues are particularly concerning for Netflix as they prepare to broadcast an NFL game on Christmas Day and launch WWE programming in January.
During his post-fight promo, Jake Paul claimed the fight garnered 120 million viewers worldwide, though this figure remains unverified. Despite the technical troubles, the event likely drew substantial global attention, surpassing expectations for other upcoming sports broadcasts on the platform.
Tyson, who holds a professional record of 50-7, refrained from announcing his retirement. Logan Paul, Jake’s brother, proposed a match with Tyson, which the boxing icon accepted without hesitation.
The night wasn’t without its lighter moments, as Tyson accidentally flashed the camera during a backstage interview, creating an unintended viral moment.
Originally set for late July, the fight was delayed due to Tyson’s health issues in June. The contest followed modified rules, including eight two-minute rounds with 14-ounce gloves. While the fight itself may not have lived up to the hype, the aftermath ensures the Paul-Tyson saga remains in the headlines.
