Netflix faced a storm of technical difficulties during its highly anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight on Nov. 15, 2024. Despite being the world’s largest streaming platform, Netflix struggled under the weight of consumer demand, with users reporting glitches, prolonged loading times, and outright freezing—even before the fighters stepped into the ring.
Mike Tyson, a boxing legend at 58, entered the match against social media star turned boxer Jake Paul, 30 years his junior. Fans hoped Tyson’s experience would shine through, but Paul ultimately emerged victorious after eight contentious rounds. There’s no way to out train father time, it seems. Seeing a 58-year-old Tyson struggle in the ring was obviously tough for many boxing fans.
Anyone with 2 eyes could see that was scripted. All a show for Netflix. THAT’S why it was free
