Netflix main event syndrome

When the main event fighters in a LIVE event on Netflix are toned down and boring. The fighters each make so much money either way win or lose so they just simply do not care enough to go 100% for their fight. It’s underwhelming. Boring. Not what it could be.

Q: “Damnnn, why didn’t Paul just kill Tyson then?
A: “Netflix main event syndrome got him. It hits hard when you make millions win or lose. He just doesn’t care enough. He’s already cashing out so good from it.”

“Come on! Hit each other! Do something!”
“You really expected a good figut? Netflix main event syndrome takes away all the excitement!”
