The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight was supposed to be the biggest spectacle of 2024, until Netflix decided, not today! The real casualty of the boxing match between Paul and Tyson was the streaming service, which crashed just as fans were gearing up for the fight.
Viewers were left staring at buffering screens instead of watching the spectacle unveil. Following the incident, users on social media started coming up with hilarious memes and jokes that turned frustration into laughter.
Billed as the fight of the century between Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson, as the action heated up inside AT&T Stadium, Netflix's servers seemed to give up.
Viewers reported everything, from pixelated images to complete service outages, leaving them feeling more like they were watching a slideshow than an epic boxing match.
As fans vented their frustrations online, the situation turned from frustration into comedy. One popular meme featured a picture of Mike Tyson looking bewildered with the caption, “When you realize your fight is less exciting than Netflix’s buffering circle.”
Here are some of the funniest memes related to the Netflix crash:
