And the crowd went… mild.
Despite being perhaps the most anticipated boxing fight this century, Jake Paul versus the legendary Mike Tyson fell flat.

Are we really surprised? At 58 years old, Tyson may always be “the Baddest Man on the Planet”, but his time in the ring looks to be done, as the 27-year-old Jake Paul emerged victorious via unanimous decision.
With the fight being streamed live on Netflix, it was undoubtedly going to pull in millions of viewers. In fact, Paul said in his post-fight interview that is believed around 120 million viewers tuned in for a night of boxing.
However, some of those viewers may not be logging back in.
Yes, following the fight result, many viewers have taken to social media to announce that they will be deleting their Netflix accounts.
This also comes after endless tweets and comments about users experiencing streaming issues during the live event – with many plagued by the red buffering ring for much of the evening.
“Netflix has absolutely no idea how to do a live stream – they lack the proper infrastructure [sic],” one person tweeted. “Months of waiting for this disappointment, can’t even watch the fight. Constant 25% buffering. Canceling my subscription indefinitely.”
Another disappointed viewer wrote: “I will be canceling my Membership after you all completely screw the streaming up!”

“I’m canceling Netflix. I couldn’t watch it live and it was 1972 resolution,” another wrote.
One furious viewer tweeted: “Netflix, you suck. You are by far the worst streaming service. I, and just about everyone I know is canceling our subscriptions. You made us miss parts of the fight because you don’t know how to anticipate server loads, and your announcer got Tyson’s age incorrect.”
“Cancelling my subscription to Netflix because you all dropped the ball,” another tweeted to the platform.
Anyone else sick of this?! Netflix is killing themselves. After this fight (if it doesn’t keep freezing) I’m canceling my Netflix account!! pic.twitter.com/Nl5IuMOQ76

“Hey @netflix, do we cancel outright or request a refund?” Another wrote. “Asking for millions worldwide.”
How do you cancel your Netflix account?
So, how do you cancel your Netflix subscription?
Well, according to the streaming giant, the instructions are as follows: Go to your Account page and look under the Membership section.
“You’ll see either a link to guide you through the cancellation process or instructions to contact your payment partner to cancel. If you cancel with time left in your billing period, you can use Netflix until the end of the billing period.”
Netflix adds: “Signing out of your account or deleting the Netflix app doesn’t cancel your account.”
