A Florida man has filed a $50 million class action lawsuit against Netflix, claiming breach of contract due to streaming issues during the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. The lawsuit cites widespread buffering and access problems reported by viewers. The event, which aired live on November 15, attracted 60 million households. Despite Netflix and the fight promoter calling it a success, the lawsuit alleges that many viewers faced significant technical challenges.
