Seriously @netflix should be embarrassed right now. As soon as people actually want to use their service, THIS IS WHAT WE GET. pic.twitter.com/cVoKkRd5aX

However, post-fight, Paul, who is collecting a minimum of $40 million from the bout, praised Netflix for their role in the event while acknowledging the streaming difficulties that plagued viewers.
“Everyone’s ecstatic. Shout out to Netflix. Amazing partners, amazing people,” he commented on his win.
“I think it’s six times what I thought, but the numbers are still coming in. Netflix crashed, yeah. But shoutout to the Netflix engineers, we love them, they fixed it straight away. Shoutout to them.”
What are your thoughts on Netflix’s live sport debut? Let us know in the comments.
They didn’t fix shit couldn’t get it to work during the comain and main fuck em
Yeah, if you call watching the same 1st biut over 3 tiles in a role, they suck they didn’t fix it
“They Fixed it Straight Away”?!?!? I don’t think so, mate! Watching the fight on an iPhone was very frustrating.
(What about the women!?!? Wow!)
The girls fight was the best fight. Jake Paul Mike Tyson is a disgrace to the boxing world. Jake Paul start fighting people that actually box actual boxers, 10 and 1 record yeah sure what’s next for you? Taking that poor Muhammad Ali out of his grave, just stand his skeleton up in the ring and say you beat him also no disrespect to Muhammad Ali but damn how do you go to sleep at night? And actually think you’re a real boxer. I guess money does drive people crazy cause man you are in another world.
That was the worst fight of all time definitely scripted Mike didn’t do anything but stand there he should of killed him and it was like Jake didn’t wanna throw a punch they should be ashamed of them selfs they got paid millions. And couldn’t put on a real show the girls were the best out of all them. It should be pussy Tyson and gay Paul unfreaking believable so upseting to wait 6 months for a scripted fight
