Mike Tyson fight on Netflix

[MrMars]

CBS producing the game is not going to matter when it comes to if Netflix can keep up with the bandwidth or not. There was 0 issues with the feed going back to Netflix for the Tyson fight, nor the feed going from Netflix to DirecTV for bars. Nor will there be any with the feed going to OTA channels + CTV for the NFL games. Personally I think the Tyson fight will have more viewers worldwide and the NFL games will go out without a hitch. But we shall see..

That's because those feeds were delivered by satellite.

Excuse me, but ... I Never said anything in that quote.

I thought it was pretty clear that it was Sarandos saying the things that were quoted.

For commercial bars and restaurants, it’s looking like there will not be an additional distribution deal with DirecTV Business for the Netflix Christmas games, leaving only EverPass w/ the UPShow platform… and it will cost extra as a PPV for casinos and sportsbooks while it’s complimentary for existing Sunday Ticket or Peacock Sports Pass subscribers to bars and restaurants

Aren't most bars and restaurants closed on Christmas Day? Except of course for those in places like Las Vegas I guess.

Some would be open just at night… but yeah casinos being open 24 hours including on Christmas day is part of the reason why they’re getting charged a PPV fee (thousands, possibly tens of thousands of dollars per casino) to show the 2 games

Plenty of bars open up on Christmas afternoon/evening. At least in population centers.
