The first two rounds of the fight looked mildly competitive, but by the close of the frame, it was clear Tyson had hit his ceiling for the evening and, hopefully, for his career as an in-ring fighter.

The streaming service’s ideas for presenting a boxing event were as bad as one could have predicted for a network with no experience with live sports, especially a boxing event. The personalities were an assortment of celebrities from various entertainment industries, resulting in many cringe moments. The reception was seemingly so bad throughout the country that many people struggled to see the co-main event and main event without interruption.

Even Paul said after the fight, “we crashed the site.” That might be great for him as it proved his ability to draw, but it was terrible for Netflix as it demonstrated the network could not handle significant volume for a live event.
