It's incomprehensible to me that Netflix, one of the most highly skilled engineering teams in the world - completely sh*t the bed last night and provided a nearly unwatchable experience that was not even in the same league as pre-internet live broadcast from 30 years ago.

I had buffering issues but then backed off and let a bit of it buffer up (maybe 1 or 2 mintues?) and then it was fine for the entire Tyson Paul match. There was no reason I needed it to be live vs. a 1 or 2 minute delay.

If you had money riding on it because of legalized sports gambling in your state and sports regulators clearing it to be a thing to bet on, then it was probably pretty psychologically important whether or not there was a 1 or 2 minute delay on you seeing the results of the game.
