Other users claimed: “Netflix should no longer stream fights.”
Despite numerous issues, many viewers were still able to enjoy a quality stream and praised Netflix.
“This Netflix stream never lagged at all.”

Similar technical glitches occurred during the broadcast of Mike Tyson's fight with Jake Paul last November, when high demand to watch 'Iron Mike's' return to professional boxing led to streaming quality issues.
The situation surrounding the Alvarez-Crawford fight once again highlights the importance of streaming platforms' reliability during crucial moments when fans expect quality broadcasts. Despite technical hiccups, the demand for major sporting events remains high, demonstrating that boxing still attracts a wide audience.
