Netflix buffering issues: Boxing fans complain about Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

Everyone here talking like this something unique netflix had to deal with. Hotstar live streamed india va Pakistan cricket match with zero issues with all time high live viewership ever in the history of live telecast. Why would viewers paying $20 month want to think about their technical issues, they dropped the ball pure and simple. Tech already exists for this, it’s been done before even by espn, nothing new here.

The Independent reports 35m viewers of that cricket match [0].

Rolling Stone reported 120m for Tyson and Paul on Netflix [1].

These are very different numbers. 120m is Super Bowl territory. Could Hotstar handle 3-4 of those cricket matches at the same time without issue?

The Games Awards claims to have 118 million livestreams [1], and went off without a hitch.

I watched it for the game trailers, actually shocked that it's also superbowl viewership territory.
