Netflix streaming issues leaving Mike Tyson-Jake Paul viewers livid

Netflix isn’t built for it.

The streaming conglomerate is on the ropes in the eyes of many due to various issues.

And many complaints believe that Netflix could be down for the count following their showing, with over 88,000 reports of streaming problems made to Down Detector on Friday night.

“So the reports are in. #netflix wasnt ready for this,” Barstool Sports honcho Dave Portnoy posted on X. This is unwatchable.”

Fans have been pointing out lagging issues, the stream dying out entirely, and just overall quality and buffering issues have persisted.

Buffering screens were prevalent for many across the viewership.

Others posted about how unenjoyable the evening has been as a result.

“Seriously @netflix should be embarrassed right now,” one user wrote, adding a GIF of a buffering screen. “As soon as people actually want to use their service, THIS IS WHAT WE GET.”

“@netflix should not have been given the opportunity to host something of this magnitude,” another viewer posted. “Constant lagging and buffering. The most unenjoyable fight night we’ve ever watched.”

And of course, others had jokes.

The issues really surfaced during the co-main event between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for the women’s Undisputed Super Lightweight Championship.

Taylor won a controversial unanimous decision over Serrano, with scorecards of 95-94 on all three cards.

The bout was a rematch of their Madison Square Garden classic from April 2022, which Taylor also won, via split decision.
