Fight fans slam Netflix for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson streaming issues
Fight fans and some UFC fighters slammed Netflix for the streaming issues during Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson last night.
On Friday, Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson was streamed across the world on Netflix. It was the first real combat sports event of its kind, and it’s safe to say the viewership was big. While the official figures are still unconfirmed, this felt like the kind of move that represented a shift in momentum toward streaming services.
Of course, we always knew there were going to be issues. After all, Netflix isn’t going to hit a home run straight out of the gate – no matter how much money they’ve put behind this operation. As a result, many people reported numerous issues with their stream throughout the course of the evening.
As you can see by the following reactions, it seems like they still have quite a bit to work on behind the scenes.
Hey Netflix, have you tried unplugging and plugging in the router?
