Netflix sued over technical failures during Tyson-Paul boxing match broadcast

Netflix is facing a class-action lawsuit after technical issues disrupted its live broadcast of the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul on November 15, 2024. The lawsuit, filed in Florida, claims many viewers experienced buffering and access problems. The fight, held at AT&T Stadium in Texas, attracted 108 million viewers but was marred by glitches. Complaints flooded social media, and even notable figures expressed frustration over the streaming quality, particularly during key moments of the event. In response, Netflix acknowledged the problems and cited the event's scale as a factor. The company stated it has "room for improvement" but still described the broadcast as a "huge success" due to its record engagement.
