This Serrano fight is just an insane display of excellence. If anyone was waiting for the main card to tune in, I recommend tuning in now.
Also, no buffering issues on my end. Have to wonder if it's a regional issue.
1. Netflix is a 300B company, this isn't a resources issue.
2. This isn't the first time they have done live streaming at this scale either. They already have prior failure experience, you expect the 2nd time to be better, if not perfect.
3. There were plenty of time between first massive live streaming to second. Meaning plenty of time to learn and iterate.

Yeah, the funny part is that Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Peacock have all demonstrated the ability to handle an event of this caliber with no issue. Netflix now may never get another opportunity like this again.
Sure they will. They’ll just set up the next event and outside of some tech folks no one will remember this.

I wonder how effective it would be to cache live events with a delay. Write to the tail, read from the head.
that’s totally unacceptable for live sports which people are able to bet on
I wonder if there will be any long term reputational repercussions for Netflix because of this. Amongst SWEs, Netflix is known for hiring the best people and their streaming service normally seems very solid. Other streaming services have definitely caught up a bit and are much more reliable then in the early days, but my impression still has always been that Netflix is a step above the rest technically. This sure do…
Hell, I’d complaing about Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson as well if I was a boxing fan. Even without buffering issues
