Tyson vs Netflix

I don’t know how long this is going to last, but as Netflix servers melt down, there’s a guy in the stands at the Paul vs Tyson fight, broadcasting live on X to 1.5M viewers. Now 2.8M, then to 5.5 and it looks like the streams have been pulled.

May be just as well, it doesn’t sound like things are going well for ol’ Mike. #paultyson

Another here, which looks pirated.

  1. Thanks for that. I can’t get it to work on any device. I’m guessing they’re holding the fight until the servers work? Talk about egg on face. As Iron Mike says, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the head.

    1. Brian – I think it was “…a punch in the mouth”. But I’ve seen him quoted “…a punch in the face”. But either way, good quote, and we are watching it on our Netflix.

      1. No luck on Netflix. End of the 7th round. Tyson has been defensive for at least four, maybe five rounds. Hardly landing a punch. Hearts breaking around the world. 6.4 million viewers. Head, mouth, face, same difference.

      2. I thought it was … “punched in the face.” Otherwise, that’s another great saying from Iron Mike. He is genuinely very intelligent.

  2. Netflix eh!
    Didn’t Netflix gift the O’holes (some would say the Obamas) somewhere around $80 million when he/they left the White House back in ’16?
    They have done some minor production stuff, I believe…

    1. Returned in the 7th.
      Tyson lost on points.
      It was about as fascinating when it didn’t work as it was when it did.

  3. Well, that was gay. All hype, like every tyson fight since he got out of prison. Only thing missing was don king. Paul must be getting paid by the round, clearly stretching it out.

    Almost as bad as watching that Algerian dude wail on women.

  4. A couple of other links on X/Twitter worked for the first 2 rounds… I thought it was tier 2 Canada’s internet police shutting it down but have no other theory atm…

    If a guy in the upper stands can deliver to X free video and have 6 million viewers initially and growing to 6.8 million viewers in the final couple of rounds … I’d say that’s a great thing. My video stopped for all of round 3 then returned 1/2 way through 4

    *I would have liked to see Mike pummel Jake Paul

  5. I admit to NO interest in this age mismatch spectacle. Money for nothing … I’d rather watch pro-wrestling reruns from the 1960’s … hence my screen name morphed from the Japanese wrestler; Kenje Shibuya.

    1. Stampede Wrestling out of Calgary led the way in the 1960s. It was shown around the world. I ate that shit by the bushel when I was a kid.

    2. Gene Kiniski would have whupped Kinji Shibuya’s ass if they weren’t both bad guys.
      Fred Asher approves this message.

    3. Watched high lite or two. It wasn’t a fight, they didn’t even bother with mouth guards. It was about as programmed as wrestling.

  6. Noe of this should be surprising. Tyson is 58 and hasn’t been training; Netflix is designed for more-or-less consistent load, not this kind of surge broadcasting.

  7. One person’s meme of the Netflex server meltdown was the speech that mitch McConnell was supposed to give where he went totally blank and just stared into the camera frozen, I think he was lead away. I love reading the commentary on various sites, conservatives/Republicans have a funny bone and can make jokes and memes and not take everything so serious, but liberals/democrats take everything so personal and they can’t find humour in situations, instead they complain and sound bitter about life.
