Turned it off. It just sucked. Plus Netflix is shit. Way to reassure the NFL that you're ready to stream games.

That was exactly my thought.

Jake deserved to win. Mike looked just as old as he is. This fight was a bad idea from the start. We should all be grateful that Jake didn’t really try to knock Tyson out because he absolutely could have from about the 4th round on.

It’s still absolutely stunning to me that Jake Paul continues to put on the biggest events in boxing with side-show match ups. I’m not a hater - good for him for cracking the code - but I can see why better, still relatively unknown fighters following the traditional path fucking hate the dude.

Total joke of a decision. Those judges need to be investigated. Serrano won the last fight too.

seriously how do they let this shit still happen in boxing? The fight wasn’t close. Add in the deduction and it’s like what??!!
I’m not tuning into another Paul fight unless he fights a real ranked heavyweight.

Yah if he wants to be considered as a legit fighter, he is going to have to start fighting real boxers. What's sad is that a top contender or champ wouldn't even make nearly the amount of $$ he made last night. I give him credit though, he is a tireless self-promoter. The main event was more like a WWE Wrestlemania fest.
 
I’m pretty surprised how many people are upset about the Paul fight or expected anything other than what we got. Like @TheNextStep said, it’s fortunate that he didn’t really try and hurt Mike. What surprises me is the number of pro fighters that disregard everything they know about size, weight, how MMA skills really translate to pro boxing, etc. because Paul gets in their head and they want to be the one to humble him. Dude wouldn’t last long against a legitimate pro fighter but he has worked himself into enough of a boxer that his physical advantage in these fights is hard to overcome.

Also, Katie Taylor just gave the world a masterclass impersonation of every Holyfield fight ever. People wonder why Mike got pissed and bit his ear, those head butts are exactly why.

he tweeted he’d fight MMA style vs McGregor but not lose weight to do it. Maybe interesting?

Perfect....What a great makeup call by Netflix and let those that subscribed...from what I hear is in the thousands...just for this fight......give the 15 back or let anyone subscribe for your next foray into PPV sports....

Got a great fight Idea for NETCRASH....

Mark Davis vs RuPaul.

I'd pay 30
 
Netflix
@netflix
Nearly 50 million households globally tuned in live for the co-main event of Serrano vs. Taylor — the bout is likely to be the most watched professional women's sporting event in U.S. history.
 
If I’m Netflix and the NFL, I’m going to a DEFCON 1 state of urgency after the disaster that was the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing match Friday night.

Let’s start with the good news: Paul said an amazing 120 million worldwide streamed the event online from AT&T Stadium. That’s a testament to the enduring appeal of Tyson and the sweet science. On Saturday afternoon, the media and technology company said its total audience count peaked at 65 million concurrent viewers. For context, last season’s NFC championship game between the 49ers and Lions had an average viewership of 53.6 million (over a much longer period) and peaked at 59 million.


But to call Netflix’s production a trainwreck would be an insult to trains. Netflix’s glitchy stream was plagued with buffering issues, freezes, long lag times, and poor screen quality. The stream lost audio at times and was slow to reload. Viewers were livid and had every right to be. There were over 88,000 reports of streaming problems, according to the website Downdetector.

In short, Netflix’s biggest live sporting event was a technical flop. That doesn’t bode well for the giant streamer’s upcoming showing of two NFL games on Christmas Day, including the Super Bowl champion Chiefs vs. the Steelers. Not to mention its upcoming coverage of WWE Raw starting in January.

That was just the technical issues.

On a commentary level, the team of play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo, boxer Roy Jones Jr., and actress Rosie Perez added little to the production. Before the main event, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis joined Kate Scott for an interview. But Holyfield couldn’t hear Scott’s questions. So Lewis had to comically relay them to the former champ to get his answers. Naturally, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was on hand for an interview from Jerry World. But Jones’s mic didn’t work. That’s entertainment. Oh, did we mention Netflix also gave us a nice shot of 58-year-old Tyson’s butt cheeks from the dressing room?

When Netflix’s social media team gamely tried to gauge fan reactions on X (Twitter still to some) they were ratioed into oblivion by the 283 million worldwide Netflix subscribers in 190 countries who, thankfully, didn’t have to pay extra to watch.

“How about instead of tweeting you fix the stream?” asked one frustrated viewer. “It seems that Netflix is failing miserably in their first live-streaming sports event. My images are grainy with frequent freezes and buffering. Even as I delayed the broadcast several seconds, the image still seems as if it is coming over a dial-up line,” wrote another. “You would have thought servers would have been your first investment,” tweeted a third.
 
Arthur Beterbiev calling out JP. Shit is going to JP's head now. lol

I remember this fight. Was in high school over at a friend's house with a black box. Dude missed half the fight getting something from the kitchen.

Recall reading a story after this where some guy spent a massive amount on front row seats and missed the whole fight when he went to take a leak or get a drink or some shit. Tried to get a refund and was told to pound sand.

Yeah, you couldn't risk blinking during a Tyson fight. Ali said something to the effect of "He'd have to catch me to hit me. But if he did...😴"
