Thousands of Netflix users report outages during Tyson-Paul boxing match
(NEXSTAR) — Just as thousands of Netflix users flocked to the app to stream Friday night’s head-to-head boxing match between champion Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, the stream crashed.
According to Downdetector, which tracks outages in real-time, at least 98,000 people reported Netflix outages on Friday night.
The event began at 8 p.m. ET and featured a variety of smaller matches ahead of Tyson and Paul’s. The much-anticipated match between the 58 year-old Tyson and 27 year-old Paul is expected to draw major viewership for Netflix, though the amount of traffic may or may not have crashed the platform before that fight even began.
The match-up was originally scheduled for July 20, according to CNET. Friday night’s match is being held at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The match featured a star-studded audience, including actors Simu Liu (“Barbie”) and Joe Manganiello (Peacock’s “Deal or No Deal Island”), in addition to boxing greats like Lennox Lewis and Sugar Ray Leonard.
