Netflix faces lawsuit over livestream issues during Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight

A Netflix subscriber has filed a lawsuit in Florida after experiencing technical issues during the livestream of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match on November 15. The lawsuit claims Netflix was unprepared for high demand, resulting in an "unwatchable" experience. Ronald “Blue” Denton seeks unspecified damages and class-action status for other affected customers. He alleges Netflix breached its contract and engaged in deceptive practices, citing over 100,000 complaints about streaming problems during the event. Despite the glitches, the fight attracted an estimated 108 million viewers globally, making it the most-streamed global sporting event ever. This incident follows a previous live event in April 2023 that also faced significant technical delays.
