The long-awaited fight between Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul from AT&T Stadium was set to be one of Netflix's biggest streaming events of the year, but technical problems made the event extremely difficult to watch long before Tyson or Paul ever walked to the ring.

Netflix's first attempt at handling a live sports event did not receive a passing grade. The fight Friday night between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul experienced streaming problems according to many viewers on social media.

For Netflix, it is their biggest live sports event to date, and an opportunity to make sure it can handle audience demand with the NFL and WWE on the horizon.
