It wasn't even just buffering issues, the feed would just stop and never start again until I paused it and then clicked "watch live" with the remote.

It was really bad. My Dad has always been a fan of boxing so I came over to watch the whole thing with him.

He has his giant inflatable screen and a projector that we hooked up in the front lawn to watch it, But everything kept buffering. We figured it was the Wi-Fi so he packed everything up and went inside only to find the same thing happening on ethernet.

He was really looking forward to watching it on the projector and Netflix disappointed him.

What did your Dad think about the 'boxing'?

Was this necessary? The comment was on a tech forum about the tech issues, do we really need to reprosecute the argument that it wasn’t real boxing here too? There are plenty of other places for those so painfully inclined to do so

I appreciated the answer by manquer. HN is tech-focused but not tech-only, right?
