The WALL STREET JOURNAL's Jason Gay wrote, "If you tried to watch it, and you weren’t able to, because of technical chaos and buffering standstills with the Netflix stream—instead of writing an angry letter to the clearly overburdened IT department, you might want to thank them for sparing your eyeballs, and perhaps, your soul" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 11/16). The “technical hiccups” left "many viewers frustrated." Streaming "snafus marred the late-night face-off especially during the undercard matches." Disgruntled fans “roasted Netflix on X and other platforms for its slow loading speed and sometimes pixelated presentation” (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 11/16). THE ATHLETIC's Richard Deitsch wrote the Paul-Tyson bout “was horrible, and so was the streaming experience for many viewers.” Friday night “spooked” NFL officials “a bit” (THE ATHLETIC, 11/16).
