Tyson vs Paul: Netflix Loses In Technical Knock-Out

The streaming was terrible. They could not handle the bandwidth I don't think.

They better get it right for Christmas Day and the 2 NFL Games. Otherwise the Grinch will be firing a lot of technical staff.

Didn’t notice any problems streaming on Verizon FiOS.

I’ve seen better fights at a Waffle House...

It was buffering really bad for me during the earlier fights but streamed just fine during the Tyson/Paul fight. A lot of people were reporting buffering issues on social media. I talked to my brother in Denver who said he hadn't had any issues whatsoever. Others on social media also reported no problems.

Go figure.

I’d guess the entire thing was a way to get new Netflix monthly subscribers.

The best fight of the night were the two chicks!

Word on the street is that Jake Paul has mad respect for Mike Tyson and knew he was hurting for cash (Tyson's spending problems have followed him throughout his career).

He thought of a chance to offer Tyson one last big $20 million payday to help a friend out.

Paul clearly held back. He didn't want to hurt the guy. Tyson was winded by the second round.

I have FiOS in NJ and was getting alerts on my phone that Paul won while I was watching the sixth round. Even worse, the son of my next door neighbor (who has FiOS also), came home from watching the match while he had it on in the 4th round. Like someone says above, they better get it together for those games on Christmas Day, although I know my mother-in-law will not allow it to be on!

I had a lot of buffering problems in the earlier fights, but I have to say there were some really good fights, especially women’s super lightweight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, those ladies were amazing.

The “AI” Large Language Model is not anywhere near as important as the Internet networking upgrades that are in the works to support whatever becomes of “AI.” (IMHO)

Yep. I was watching in San Diego and seeing the final results here and on Twitter while I was watching the 7th round.

It's great to be in the "cool kids" club again!

I noticed he has a tat of Che on his belly. I wonder what that is all about.

It all goes back to the net neutrality argument several years ago. Netflix and the rest of the streaming services were never paying for the final mile so to speak to the house. If you wanted excellent service, they would’ve had to charge more money for a month. Because they had such an interesting high rating thing in it pretty much crashed the bandwidth. It’s analogous to everybody turning on their water at the same time when you do that the water pressure goes way way down.

so who ‘won’?
