I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.

Despite some good undercard fights, the Paul vs. Tyson fight itself, which did not start until around midnight ET, was universally panned as terrible, and the entire event was marred by severe buffering issues with the livestream, as Netflix is very new to live events like this, and this was a huge test. It failed.
This was always going to be the #1 spot by today, and it’s no surprise that the lead-in show, Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson, is now at #2. Honestly, that’s probably more worth watching than the fight itself, a boring affair where Tyson, way too old for this, barely threw any punches at all in some rounds, and Jake won on points in the end. Both participants walked away with tens of millions of dollars regardless, so the joke’s on us, really.
We’ll see what this means for Netflix’s future as an event streaming platform. This is certainly not the first time we’ve see a “stunt fight” like this, but the real issue was how many technical problems this event had, which is a big no-no for something like say, boxing, where any second something huge could happen to end a match.
