Netflix (NFLX) drew global headlines this month with its first-ever live sports broadcast, featuring a much-hyped bout between YouTuber Jake Paul and heavyweight champ Mike Tyson. The event set records for the streamer, with 65 million concurrent viewers at its peak

Despite the event's massive reach, many viewers reported glitches during the broadcast, including lengthy buffering and access delays. Traditionally not a broadcaster of live content, Netflix's Tyson vs. Paul match was intended to showcase its readiness to host similarly high-profile sports events later this year, including Christmas Day NFL games

But yet their stock goes up, as a lot of you have a Netflix subscription.  Even with billion dollar servers they still had trouble, because delivering live tv isn't easy but it's something we do here everyday consistently plus give most if not all Netflix content.
