We can only hope

[Shartnado]

Watched the Netflix hype show for Tyson v Paul and I am certainly intrigued. I won't be awake by the time it happens live but I will definitely get to it when I wake up tomorrow.

Didn’t go there. It was bad enough I had to explain Howard Hesseman was.

The quality of this show from a technical standpoint gives me no faith in RAW a couple months from now. 

[Cobra Commander]

except that this has way more people watching live than Raw will have

Probably so but man even if half the people watch we will be lucky to hit 2011 HD quality 

If this is bad, then the Steelers vs Chiefs game is going to look like it was on Real Player

well, that'll be tough for all the non-PIT/KC market people, but as long as it's over the air in the home markets, a certain amount of the audience will be there and not on Netflix

If the stream is having issues during the undercard, then Netflix as a whole might go down during the main event.

Tyson giving zero fucks doing an interview with his ass for everyone to see

[Craig H]

This quality fucking suuuuuucks. On the discord a couple of us are talking about giving the pirate sites a shot to see if the quality improves or if it stops constantly buffering and crashing. Embarrassing. Good luck, WWE.

it comes in waves. i missed most of the women's fight but it was pretty decent up until then. i fear for the tyson main.

edit:
as soon as the fight ended it started flawlessly again. based on the stats, total bullshit decision too.

My feed has been generally fine. There was some blurring and freezing early in the women's fight, but it cleared up. And I'm glad, cause that fight was insane. 

[Kevin Wilson]

No offense to wrestling but I am pretty sure this boxing event will have 10+ million more live eyeballs than RAW ever will. But it is a good test for their service as its definitely the biggest thing they've ever live streamed and with NFL coming up it may give them some good data.

The stream has been fine for me for the last 30 min or so, I think they made the adjustments. But yea when the fighter announcements start its going to really spike.

[Swift]

I've been generally ok, at least compared to other accounts I'm seeing online. It was a shitty feed for the first two fights, then crashed but was perfect for the Taylor/Serrano fight but then crashed out again for the decision. So far perfect again (famous last words)

[lostinube]

So far it's fine for me but that may be because no one in Japan really cares about the fight.

[Hail Sabin]

As Phil Collins plays my TV Buffers Hard & can't get above 76% 

[Kevin Wilson]

Wonder if it matters how people are watching it, I'm just using netflix via my web browser and its been clear for the last hour or so. This was drug out so long, happy we are only five or so minutes away, I'm ready to go to bed.

[Death From Above]

The Serrano eyelid cut was fuckin' gross, even by boxing cut standards.

That it was several pictures in my 2 different text threads of the Netflix event 

[lostinube]

Oof. Mike looked old in Round 3.

[Death From Above]

That was exactly what any sane person expected it to be. Good for Taylor vs Serrano to get a 72K audience, but man.

[Kevin Wilson]

I'm somewhat sure Paul could have ended it in the 3rd when Tyson was reeling and backed off. It was a real fight, I believe they were both trying but I don't think Paul was going for the knockout, so somewhere between a regular pro fight and an exhibition. Or Paul was just overly cautious so he wasn't knocked out by a 58 year old.

[lostinube]

All I wanted was for Jake to not knock Mike out. Good enough.

[Cobra Commander]

excited for Jake Paul's upcoming fight with Larry Holmes

[lostinube]

He probably never wanted to actually KO Mike because he knows that all that would do is generate sympathy and concern for Mike.. Getting the fight and getting it on Netflix was enough of a win for Paul.
