Tyson vs Paul - A Netflix Streaming Disaster (Video)

Mike Tyson performed better than Netflix. My stream was 100% until it froze while Mike Tyson was walking to the ring. Then after a bit, it resumed where it left off (so I knew it was no longer live) until it froze again while Legiron Mike was climbing into the ring. I rebooted after waiting for a while & it worked perfectly from then on. No issues. Except for the fact that some of the guys doing the RBR were about a round ahead of me. Meaning I wasn't watching what I hadn't paid for - a live stream. As someone who only signed up to Netflix for the first time this week, my suggestion would be to watch the Western Old Henry before cancelling your subscription. I enjoyed it. Dark, grim & righteous. Old Henry takes care of business the way Mike Tyson couldn't.

 

“Netflix and chill? More like Netflix and ****!”

The streaming for me wasn’t all too bad for me and had to restart it at least 3 times during the main fight. Still doesn’t change the fact that the fight itself was indeed a total disaster as expected. But at least the 2 fights before it helped make up for having to sit through the circus show.

 

My issues started for me during the 1st fight of the main card, the audio went out and I mentioned it in the RBR, and it seemed I was the only one dealing with technical difficulties. Then before you knew it more people were complaining about issues they were starting to have in the RBR. I figured that the servers from Netflix were experiencing major overload from new subscribers trying to purchase a subscription to watch the fight as the main reason as to why we people were having buffering issues. I didn't start getting buffering issues until the Taylor-Serrano fight started.

They simply didn't anticipate the drawing power of even a 58 year old Mike Tyson. I made a comment the other day that if Tyson won he would break the internet, he didn't win and he didn't break the internet but he sure as hell Broke Netflix and their servers on this fateful night. It reminded me of the issues the cable companies were having fulfilling last minute orders for Mayweather-Pacquaio, alot of people couldn't order that fight with their remote or on the internet and were forced to call a cable operator to order flooding the phone lines, hence the delay before the Main Event. Lol

 

Maybe I just got lucky but I didn't experience a single issue, not so much as a stutter. I did tune in late though, missed the Barrios fight

 

Well Lucky you!

 

Sorry lol

Maybe it's because I'm in the UK and it was about 5am my time? Compared to primetime US hours.

 

People were clowning me In the RBR thread, thought I was making it up! They thought I was smoking that OG one hitter quitter...

I'm from California and the Buffering was terrible during the Serrano-Taylor fight and even worse during the Tyson fight. when I was finally able to watch bits and pieces I was delayed a round or 2, it was a terrible experience being that I have a premium 4k account and was only able to watch in 480I quality.

 

The memes were hilarious, CST was posting a bunch of them after the fight ended. I was also in contact with a few friends of mine also during the broadcast and they were having streaming issues as well here in California. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one suffering from TysonMania disorder.

 

I am in the UK and had terrible problems

 

In germany it was even worse .

The livestream crashed during the co event so i lost a very interesting fight and returned AFTER the paul-tyson event . I found a private livestream at x and was able to watch on my phone until the stream was blocked at rd3 .

I was only able to watch both fights an hour after the actual event .

I see this as a fraud since i pay for the netflix account and will demand my money back .

German newspapers already reported about millions of people in germany not able to watch .

 

Freezing, buffering, and when it did play, the picture was in glorious 144p!
It will be fun to check Netflix' stock prices on Monday.
