There was plenty of criticism surrounding Friday’s much-hyped Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing event streaming on Netflix, but it had nothing to do with the boxers in the ring.
Issues with video streaming quality, pixelation, stuttering and even outright crashes lit up social media well before the main event at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as undercard fighters slugged it out.
Tracking website downdetector.com showed a surge of reports of problems with Netflix’s website beginning just before 8 p.m. local time.
The hashtags #NetflixFight, #buffering and #netflixcrash trended on the social media platform.
Paul, 27, gained fame as a social media star before he began training and boxing.
