Tyson increasingly loses energy - and ultimately the fight.

With the broadcast of the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, Netflix wants to show that the streaming provider can also broadcast major live events. Netflix doesn't get knocked out, but it does take a beating.
No time? blue News summarizes for you
- Netflix has been busy promoting the boxing match between former world champion Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.
- The whole thing is also an indication that Netflix wants to shake up the sports market with live broadcasts in the future.
- However, in the first real "endurance test" in this area, the streaming service provider loses due to a technical knockout.
- Netflix reaped scorn and ridicule on social media and also had to endure comments from angry citizens. Subscribers have so far waited in vain for an apology. Perhaps because the pain at Netflix is still too great to think clearly?
Even before the boxing match between former world champion Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, there were several interruptions in the streaming provider Netflix's transmission. During the preliminary fights, the picture stopped for many viewers, and sometimes only the sound continued.
Numerous users posted photos of error messages on X and complained about poor resolution. But things didn't improve during the main fight either. There was initially no public response from Netflix. Instead, thousands of frustrated viewers took to social media. Many wrote things like: "Tyson vs Paul? The real fight was Netflix vs. its subscribers."
There was also a reaction from Paul, who is now 40 million US dollars richer. "More than 120 million people on Netflix, we paralyzed the site," said the winner after the fight.
The winner went on to say that he spared Tyson, who will still receive 20 million US dollars, towards the end: "I wanted to put on a good show for the fans. I didn't want to hurt anyone unnecessarily. The longer the fight lasted, the more Tyson's age made itself felt. The brutal toughness he had at the beginning diminished from round to round." It was unfortunate that so many viewers did not get to enjoy the show, as the broadcaster, unlike Tyson, was repeatedly on the floor, to use boxing parlance.
Reactions on social media
And as usual, when something goes wrong somewhere, there is a hail of criticism on social media. Some of it is so antisocial that it makes you wonder what's wrong with humanity right now. But there are always posts that bring a smile to your face.
