Netflix crashing for thousands as Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson overwhelms platform

As a long-time Netflix subscriber and avid boxing fan who’s been through countless streaming hiccups, I must say this Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight has taken my patience to new heights. It’s like Netflix is playing a cruel game of Whack-a-Mole with the stream quality – just when you think it’s all smooth sailing, another crash pops up!


Man, I’m really hyped for the Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight, but it seems like Netflix can’t handle all the excitement! The platform’s been crashing left and right, and I’m one of thousands who are having trouble streaming the main event. Hopefully, they sort this out soon so we don’t miss a single punch!

Following several months of excitement and build-up, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will finally meet in the boxing ring on November 15. This highly publicized match has dominated news outlets throughout much of 2024, and now, it’s time for action to unfold.

On the other hand, Netflix experienced a significant impact as it entered the arena to engage more users. Being the initial live broadcast on their platform, and arguably the most substantial one so far, millions have flocked to Netflix in anticipation of this thrilling competition.

Even from the second fight on the main event, many potential viewers have been encountering issues while streaming on the platform, whether they’re using smartphones, computers, or televisions. Despite the global anticipation for the match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, Netflix seems to be having trouble handling the influx of viewers.

It’s true that TopMob has encountered difficulties while streaming Netflix content on our television. Although it appears relatively smooth on desktops, for now, the TV viewing experience has been less than ideal due to occasional interruptions or the stream stopping.

Several viewers from various social media platforms have echoed similar sentiments, stating that the streaming service encountered issues just as the fight became engaging. One viewer expressed their frustration during the preliminary rounds, saying, “As soon as this fight got interesting, Netflix crashed again, and I’m getting really frustrated.

I splurged on streaming what was touted as the best boxing match ever, but unfortunately, three bouts preceding the main event had technical issues.” Another person added their observation.

Instead, for certain individuals, the makeshift solution is to rewind the stream slightly and watch with a minor time lag. Although not instantaneous, this approach enables certain viewers to bypass buffering delays.

It seems that the disruptions are affecting Netflix services on a broad scale, which means that even those who were not initially intending to watch the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight are experiencing interruptions.

Netflix hasn’t made any comments regarding the issue, but it seems likely that the streaming service may encounter challenges until the end of the broadcast. Rest assured, we’ll provide updates on this matter as they become available.
