The exhibition poster which pitted multiple world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson (58) against YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul (27) was particularly anticipated. Broadcast live on Netflix this Saturday, November 16, the fight caused the North American platform to crash due to too much traffic on the site.
Tyson puts on a show before the fight
If the fight did not necessarily live up to expectations, with a victory for Jake Paul on points, the fact remains that many spectators were present to witness the defeat of “Iron Mike” live. 72,000 people were present at AT&T Stadium in Arlington (Texas) and no less than 120 million fans were gathered on Netflix. Problem, the retransmission was marked by numerous bugs, spoiling the experience of subscribers to the streaming platform. If the spectacle was not really there during the fight, Netflix entertained its faithful by filming Mike Tyson's buttocks, live. The 58-year-old boxer presented himself in a pre-fight interview without underwear, enough to create a buzz on social networks. The video, posted by Netflix, peaks at more than 20 million views.
