That fight was more rigged than a Chiefs game. 😜
I disagree. I do think that Paul who I have more respect for as a boxer now seemed genuinely afraid of getting hit by Tyson. Tyson looked old and tired and yet still freaking scary. But he also seemed afraid in the same way people do with age, not afraid but back in the day it always seemed like he didn't care if he got hurt at all... Now he seemed like he'd prefer not too.
In my opinion though a 58 year old holding out and going the distance was actually impressive.

I just couldn’t help taking a jab at the Chiefs. Lol

Netflix sucked canal water, I couldn't watch more that 15 minutes at a time without respooling & freezes the whole broadcast.
Sports were watched on regular TV channels, now you need to subscribe to 2 -3 internet streaming providers to se what you would like to watch. Besides the regulars.

Was it Netflix or the network itself? A serious question! It was rock solid here, fwiw.

I also hate the balkanization of sports viewing. But I sub to so many streamers that it's only an inconvience finding out where the freaking game is being shown.

Not to tell anyone in particular I told you so... but I might've implied that this was gonna happen.

To my knowledge, there's not been an occasion where an old fella comes out of retirement to show some young buck what's what and actually  shows him what's what.

Netflix's servers were known to be slow in some areas. My area was fine but some had lagging issues. I watched other things as I'm not one to follow the trends. No disrespect to those that did

I was, however halfway wishing Tyson would bite his ear.

Don't mention it. Tyson did bite the shit out of his left glove.

But when you are spending that kind of money it should be convenient. This is a first world country, supposedly

So, Netflix maintains a raft of regional servers, any one of which could be overwhelmed? If so, that might mean the trunk between them them was borked....... after some research: The regional servers handle tons of movies and series which can be stored regionally, but that doesn't seem to be applicable with streaming a huge live event.

I'm not sure why you're disputing the facts. Downdetector logged over 85,000 reports of lagging service for the fight and Netflix refuses to respond to inquiries.i guess research is subjective to what you're looking for.
