One of the most highly anticipated boxing matches in recent memory is set to go down on Friday night in Arlington, Texas.

Mike Tyson, the former world heavyweight champion, squares off against internet personality and budding professional boxer Jake Paul. Tyson, 58, is more than twice the age of Paul, 27.

Fans were obviously excited for the fight, but it didn't take long for technical issues to arise. Instead of being shown over pay-per-view as is typical for fights like this, it is instead a Netflix exclusive stream.

As anyone familiar with streaming knows, high-traffic events can cause disruptions, and Tyson vs Paul was no different. Even during the first undercard fight, fans took to social media to complain that the stream continued to buffer.

Not the best start for Netflix!

The event is sure to draw a massive viewership as it has already been postponed from July 20 after Tyson had an emergency ulcer flare-up on a plane. And it seems those fans who have been waiting months for the fight have had to deal with some buffering annoyance.
