"We crashed the site," said Paul, 27, after claiming victory over the 58-year-old Tyson. "This is the biggest event."
In an internal company memo seen by Bloomberg News, Chief Technology Officer Elizabeth Stone said the bout drew a maximum of 65 million viewers at any one time, rivaling some of the most-watched sporting events.
More than 100,000 users reported network issues on the Downdetector website throughout the livestreaming, commenting on slow buffering and network issues.
The match between former heavyweight champion Tyson and Youtuber-turned-boxer Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, failed to live up to the hype, with critics calling it a lackluster bout.
