That is to say, despite having the whole year to get prepared, apparently Netflix may have not been ready for the influx of viewers that were going to watch this bout.

Even Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy had something to say, as he posted on X:
"I'm in the classic torture chamber where I can't tell if my internet keeps going out or whether #netflix is just constantly buffering and unwatchable for everybody."
Then after a bunch of people also reported having the same problem, Portnoy knew it wasn't his wifi's fault after all.
So the reports are in. #netflix wasnt ready for this. This is unwatchable. https://t.co/aajYTaesXL

Other viewers also showed how much effort they went through to try and make the stream work.
I’ve just disconnected 18 appliances-7 Alexa devices -3 computers - a garage door-6 video cameras - 3 iPads - 4 door locks and a dog food bowl. Now praying maybe this fight will stream #TysonPaul #netflixcrash

Needless to say, some Netflix interns are trying very hard to fix this server problem in time for the battle between 58-year-old former heavyweight champion of the world Tyson (50-6; 44 KO's) and 27-year-old former YouTuber Paul (10-1; 7 KO's).
