Netflix admits to Tyson-Paul 'quality issues' but declares livestream a 'success' despite viewer complaints

Daily Mail  

Netflix has issued a statement in response to widespread complaints about the quality of Friday's Jake Paul-Mike Tyson livestream. 'This unprecedented scale created many technical challenges, which the launch team tackled brilliantly by prioritizing stability of the stream for the majority of viewers,' Netflix CTO Elizabeth Stone wrote to employees, as reported by Bloomberg. Mike Tyson fights Jake Paul during Friday's Netflix livestream 'We don't want to dismiss the poor experience of some members, and know we have room for improvement, but still consider this event a huge success,' Stone added. At one point Lewis asked Holyfield if he expected Tyson to bite Paul's ear, as Iron Mike famously did to 'The Real Deal' in their 1997 rematch.
