How to fix Netflix Paul vs Tyson buffering issues

To ensure the people watching the boxing match in person at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, aren’t the only ones able to witness the fight, you can try to fix the Netflix streaming issues that may continue to get worse as midnight approaches.

Midnight seems to be when the Paul vs Tyson fight will start (Netflix is really drawing out the fight time until 12am ET). At that time, most people will be trying to stream the fight, and the buffering issues are bound to get worse.

Ideas to avoid buffering is to have a backup plan. Prep the mobile app or a laptop to continue watching lag-free, according to users who have already experienced some freezing during the undercards. You could also ask Netflix for a refund on the monthly subscription if the entire match crashes. Between this fight freezing and the 90-minute Netflix outage from earlier this week, you deserve some money back, considering there have been so many recent Netflix price increases.
