The much-hyped Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing event streaming on Netflix faced criticism due to issues with video streaming quality, pixelation, stuttering, and crashes on the platform. Users reported problems with Netflix’s website, with over 88,700 reports around 10:30 p.m. ET on the day of the fight. Despite the technical difficulties, the fight between Tyson and Paul began shortly after midnight. Social media lit up with complaints and gifs of pixelated videos, sparking hashtags like #NetflixFight, #buffering, and #netflixcrash. Netflix had no immediate comment on the situation. The marquee event between Tyson and Paul faced some technical issues during its broadcast, but the number of reports decreased compared to earlier in the evening. Tyson, a former heavyweight champion, and Paul, a social media star turned boxer, finally faced off at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas after a postponement due to Tyson’s health issues earlier in the year. Despite the technical difficulties, the event attracted attention and created buzz on social media.
