Netflix’s live fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul delivered big numbers for the streamer, but the volume of viewers also causedthroughout the event. Many viewers had to deal with frequent buffering throughout the night, while others weren’t able to watch the fight at all. That understandably caused many wrestling fans to wonder about WWE’s upcoming Raw on Netflix debut, which will happen in January of next year.
Netflix will take over Monday Night Raw at the beginning of the new year, and it is a major shift into the realm of live programming or the streaming giant. Netflix has taken on several other live events, including comedy specials and roasts, but the Tyson vs Paul fight was clearly the biggest in scale, bringing in over 60 million viewers and reportedly hitting a peak of 65 million viewers. By comparison, the Tom Brady Roast hit a high of 1.8 million viewers.
According to the report, the email read, “This unprecedented scale created many technical challenges, which the launch team tackled brilliantly by prioritizing stability of the stream for the majority of viewers. I’m sure many of you have seen the chatter in the press and on social media about the quality issues. We don’t want to dismiss the poor experience of some members, and know we have room for improvement, but still consider this event a huge success.
