Fans express frustration over Netflix's live coverage of Tyson vs Paul fight
nme.com —
Netflix faced backlash during its live coverage of the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight on November 15. Viewers reported significant technical issues, including buffering and audio problems, leading to widespread frustration on social media. The fight marked Netflix's first foray into live combat sports, but many fans deemed the event a failure. Tyson, 58, fought Paul, 27, in his first professional match in 19 years, which was free for Netflix subscribers. Despite the technical difficulties, Netflix plans to expand its live sports offerings. Starting in January 2025, it will exclusively stream WWE's weekly show, Raw, marking a shift from traditional television.
