Netflix faces class action lawsuit over streaming problems during record-breaking boxing match

hollywoodreporter.com

Netflix is facing a class action lawsuit from subscribers who experienced streaming issues during the highly viewed boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. The fight attracted 108 million viewers, but many reported buffering and freezing problems. The lawsuit, filed in Florida, claims Netflix was unprepared for the large audience and seeks unspecified damages for breach of contract and violations of consumer protection laws. Subscribers began reporting issues shortly before the event, with nearly 97,000 complaints logged by 10 p.m. CT. This is not the first time Netflix has faced technical difficulties with live events. Last year, a live reunion show was delayed. The lawsuit aims to represent all affected subscribers.
