While the\u2062 bout was not particularly electrifying, it was\u200c notable for its spectacle,\u2064 especially given the \u2064age difference and the \u200dcontrasting careers of\u2064 the fighters. Tyson, at 58, appeared slower, which affected his performance against \u2063the younger Paul, who improved \u200dhis record to 11-1 with the win.<\/p>\n<p>Social media reactions \u2064pointed to users being disappointed with Netflix&#8217;s \u200cstreaming capacity, with many \u2063making sarcastic comments and memes about the service&#8217;s inability to handle the event&#8217;s traffic. The event also garnered attention for the large payout each fighter received, with Paul reportedly taking home around $40 million \u2062and Tyson around $20 million.<\/p>\n<p>while the fight aimed to attract \u2063a wide audience combining both \u200bboxing \u200benthusiasts \u200band fans of celebrity bouts, the technical difficulties overshadowed the \u2063excitement, leading to a \u200cmixed reception.

Surprisingly, the issue wasn&#8217;t with the fight itself but with the streaming service, Netflix, which was hosting the event. Given the significant hype surrounding it, one would expect Netflix to be adequately prepared for such a high-profile occasion\u2014especially since streaming is their core business. Unfortunately, social media was inundated with complaints about buffering issues, slow connections, and internet outages. Additionally, Netflix&#8217;s lack of experience in broadcasting live sports events became evident when a cameraman accidentally captured an image of Tyson\u2019s bare backside during pre-fight coverage. What should have been a major success for Netflix instead became a public relations disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the fight itself did not meet expectations either. Anticipation had built up after it was postponed from its original date due to Tyson suffering from an ulcer flare-up.
