Netflix Sued for $50 Million Over Unwatchable Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Fight Stream

A class action lawsuit seeking $50 million in damages has been filed against Netflix in a Florida state court over streaming issues during the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match. The fight, held on November 15, attracted 60 million viewers but was plagued by significant buffering and technical glitches, rendering the livestream "unwatchable" for many subscribers. The plaintiff, Florida resident Ronald "Blue" Denton, had invited guests to his home to watch the heavily advertised event but was instead faced with constant streaming issues. The lawsuit alleges breach of contract and unfair business practices, accusing Netflix of being "woefully ill-prepared" for the high demand. The lawsuit mockingly refers to Netflix's streaming issues as "The Baddest Streaming on the Planet," a play on Mike Tyson's nickname.
