Tyson vs. Paul

[Homebrew]

Anybody else watching it? Myself, I'm more interested in the under card fights, but I have watched all of Tysons fights, so I'm in on this one also. I'm hoping it's legit, but I have doubts.

[CHEEZY17]

Meh. If I hear its legit I'll find it and watch it. I have a feeling its more for show.

[Geist]

I hope at some point in the ring, it really sinks in Ol' Iron Mike's head that Paul made double what he did off this. If it doesn't end like Jared Leto's beatdown scene in Fight Club, it's been 100% scripted.

[Weavagra]

This fight is boring.

[Geist]

Yeah pretty fucking dull overall. Mike was stiff and looked his age, lost all steam after round 1.

[Burn1dwn]

The women's co-main event was a good fight.

The women's co-main event was a good fight.

That one chicks eyelid had people getting squeamish

[Homebrew]

The women's co-main event was a good fight.

Agreed.
The other fighters all had pillow gloves on, and I felt like they were for show except that one. That gal's headbutt, that she is known for, worked well. Tyson tanked after round two, but they were being paid for a full fight. Paul could have ended it, but he went on with the show. I don't think he is in any way a legit boxer, but he is a helluva showman.

Yeah. One of the worst I remember seeing. She is a warrior though. She easily could have used it as an excuse to go to the cards early.

I think Serrano should have won. Especially with the point deduction. Head butts always happen when you have a southpaw fighting a traditional fighter but it did look like Taylor's head was in front of her gloves all night.

But it was defintely a close fight and judges only get to see it from one angle during the fight. Boxing decisions are always a crap shoot.

Jake Paul is a good showman but that fight was a joke. Sad that boxing has fallen so low that this is the kind of event that pays the fighters $60 million. Paul is cosplaying a championship boxer and needs to be humbled by a legitimate pugilist.

how was Netflix during the fight? All I heard was bad stories from people the next day.

I watched a stream on Dofu Sports. It was fine for me. I did hear that Netflix was a little spotty.

[woohooguy]

That was a show, not a match.

If on PPV, everyone would be asking for a refund.

From what I understood, this was sort of a test balloon for Netflix. They are moving into sports streaming and I think they wanted to prove to advertisers what kind of a market they could gin up during a telecast. I'm not sure if they helped or hurt their case, and I haven't heard any viewer numbers. I did hear that it was more watched than a superbowl. But that was just a social media post, not some actual meausure.

I'm sure it was good for netflix to get an idea of what they need to work on in order to carry that many simultaneous viewers at one time.

They served up the fight to some "60 million" households, and I guarantee Netflix is including all those account sharing numbers to boost that number, while they cry poor in shareholder meetings for the same account numbers that share logins.

The fight was reduced to like 480p in our home, and we pay for the highest level of Netflix service, single account, Boston Mass area.

We were getting numerous red rings of death, and poor 480 video quality for the first 10 minutes of the fight.

After that I don't know if people just checked out or if Netflix paid more to allow AWS to open the gates for bandwidth, but we were able to watch the pathetic end of the fight in high def.

Im not buying Netflix boxing. If you gamble on future events well then LMAO

i was talking about NFL football games. I really don't know what kind of sports market they are going after. But if paying or not paying for the bandwidth during a telecast is the issue then that's simple enough to solve.

I can see how Netflix wants to get into the broadcast contract wars with NBC, Fox, And CBS. The content writes itself, you need a broadcast team and travel, and you have an audience ready to watch.

Netflix spent like a billion on making custom content movies and shows, they probably didnt get a full return on their dollars after many of them failed. Why not spend a billion on sports streaming rights? No money up front, and everyone already knows the storyline.. Its brilliant.

I read a few years ago that when the dust settles, there will probably 5 five companies left in the broadcast entertainment business. You will either be one of them or you will be knocked out. And everyone is trying to figure out what that business is going to look like and how they can fit into it. My hopes are that Disney is the model that wins out.

I've wanted to go hard with Netflix for awhile now. They were my pick last year and I still like them though I don't have it IRL. I probably have a mutual fund that has them but individually I do not. I agree with pretty much all of the above and I think Netflix is in a strong position to be really good for a long time (Stock performance wise. Content and content creation are another matter). I've been waiting for a valley to jump in but the fucking stock just keeps rising.
