Netflix Broadcast of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Has Critics Wondering if Streamer's Live Sports Are On the Ropes

Netflix's much-hyped boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson ended in frustration late Friday night, as the streaming giant faced technical glitches that disrupted viewership and complicated the service's plans to expand its live sports offerings.

The fight between Paul, 27, an internet influencer-turned boxer, and heavyweight legend Tyson, 58, was free to Netflix's more than 282 million paying subscribers. Viewership data was not immediately available for the face-off at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, but reports of technical issues were widespread among viewers at home.
