Some of you may frown on the event, but I think that it's interesting. The women's fight has been spectacular but buffering problems have plagued the show so far.

Just tuned in. Also getting on Netflix Thailand. Waiting for my daily freak show
That was one of the saddest things I ever saw. No not the fight, the while spectacle and Jake Paul proved just what a chump he really is when he opened his mouth to do anything but breathe

What a dud. I don't know what I was expecting but I got what I should have expected.

I did not see the fight but this morning I watched what they called "highlights". If that was the highlights I am glad I missed the fight. I've seen better fights between chicks in Junior High School.

I got tired of Netflix buffering so I gave up. The results were about what I expected.

I'm guessing Thailand Netflix has different infrastructure as I had no buffering or performance issues at all or probably not many Thais had any interest whatsoever in the fight

My stream kept freezing up. I wish it hadn't unfrozen. That "fight" was garbage.
Oh, and Serrano was ROBBED!

I like MMA, Muay Thai, BJJ, and Judo. I'd probably enjoy a good boxing match, but this YT guy roided up fighting a 58-year-old man. It just seemed like a freak show fight. Maybe there were some good fights on the undercard, but I wasn't about to watch.

I'm seldom this glad to say "I missed it". I guess I can't say I really missed it, Bob.

Shame on the boxing authorities to even allow this ..what a sad day for the sport. I used to be a huge boxing fan, even put on the gloves as an amateur back in the day for a couple of years, but after the Tyson/Holyfield era I'd say the whole thing went off the rails permanently. Yeah I know there were some decent fighters and fights like the Klitschko brothers era but for me, the whole thing became more of a WWF sport and has never recovered.
But I understand Holyfield wants to take on Tyson again now....getting my popcorn

Boxing is a business first and apparently this fight generated 100's of millions in economic movement. By the metric that really counts it was a smashing success.

Tyson got rich (again) and barely threw a punch.

I liked the line on SNL's Weekend Update: "Last night, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul teamed up to defeat everyone watching."
