The Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson professional boxing match is the talk of the town. After months of cheeky banter on social media between YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul and former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson, they are finally battling it out in the ring.
While the match was scheduled for November 15, 2024, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, viewers could enjoy a live stream of the same on Netflix.
However, as people were preparing to watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson on the platform, it looked like Netflix was not yet ready for a streaming event.
The app has major technical issues and does not even load the fight in some areas. People have been outraged on various social media platforms, blaming Netflix for poor management and infrastructure.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson is probably the biggest event happening right now, with tickets costing up to $2 million each. For viewers who did not wish to spend such a hefty amount, Netflix came as a savior, live streaming the match for the audience.
