Getty and Heavy Netflix went down before the Jake Paul fight against Mike Tyson.
Users reported that Netflix was crashing and/or buffering during the live stream for the Mike Tyson fight against YouTuber Jake Paul.
Fans unloaded on X because they couldn't watch the fight.
"Imagine if you could watch this on the stream service you pay for monthly, oh wait it's too busy buffering or having no sound," wrote one user.
"HUGE FAILURE! YOU ARE FIRED! REFUNDS!" wrote another user.
Down Detector reported that Netflix was experiencing outages that spiked around 9 p.m. on November 15. Sure enough, this author experienced a crashed page while trying to watch the live stream.
As of just before 10 p.m. central time, Paul and Tyson had not yet taken the year, but the streaming video went down. A screen appeared in place of the video that said, "Pardon the interruption. We're having trouble playing Netflix." It included an error code.
Netflix had widely touted the bout on its X page, promising that it would start at 8 p.m. eastern time. However, other pregame fights were streaming when the site started to crash.
