It was morbid curiosity that made me tune in to Netflix’s live boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson on Saturday night. The stream ran into technical issues, and the fight itself was slow and ponderous. But there was something else that kept me watching: all of the jokes flying on Bluesky.

The fight Friday night between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul experienced streaming problems according to many viewers on social media. Many viewers took to Twitter/X and Bluesky to express their frustrations with streaming and buffering problems before and during the fight.
