The true champion of Netflix’s Tyson-Paul bout? You and me, for enduring all that buffering

Nicely, that was definitely a weird and truthfully unsatisfying reside boxing match that Netflix gave us tonight, bringing collectively Jake Paul and Mike Tyson to face off in entrance of an viewers numbering greater than 72,000 within the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

However whereas Paul — who’s mainly clickbait within the type of a human being — was declared the winner of the eight-round match, I feel we are able to all agree who the true champion of the night time was: It was the Netflix subscribers who caught it out, who wished to see a fairly clear and secure feed of this insane occasion. An occasion, by the way in which, that introduced out tons of celebs starting from Charlize Theron to Shaq to a random Jonas brother seen within the crowd. I’m certain there have been extra well-known faces than that, however the always freezing and stuttering feed made it really feel at occasions such as you had been watching the whole lot via a foggy, grease-stained window.

Added another user on X: “Me attempting to grasp how netflix a billion greenback firm and nonetheless having buffering points throughout the tyson combat.” And but, based on Netflix, 60 million households watched the Paul vs. Tyson predominant occasion reside around the globe, peaking at 65 million concurrent streams.

By the top, although, it felt like the one completely clear footage from the night time that everybody was speaking about got here on the finish of that interview when Tyson mooned us all. At one level tonight, Downdetector confirmed greater than 97,000 experiences of individuals having issues with Netflix. I noticed somebody on-line at one level joke that the Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out NES online game from again in 1987 had higher picture high quality than what we received tonight from Netflix. Can’t argue there.
