Netflix is facing a massive $50 million lawsuit following the highly publicized Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight. The streaming giant is under fire after technical issues disrupted the live broadcast, leaving countless viewers frustrated and demanding refunds.
The lawsuit, filed by angry subscribers, claims Netflix failed to deliver on its promise of a seamless viewing experience. Many fans reported buffering, pixelated streams, and even complete outages during the fight, which had been promoted as the platform’s first live-streamed boxing event. Legal representatives for the plaintiffs argue that Netflix’s technical mishap tarnished what was supposed to be a historic moment for the streaming service.
One disappointed viewer voiced their frustration on social media: “I paid for this, and all I got was a frozen screen. Netflix owes us more than just an apology.” The class-action lawsuit not only demands financial compensation but also calls for Netflix to improve its streaming infrastructure for future live events.
Netflix has yet to comment on the legal action, but insiders suggest the company is bracing for significant fallout. With live sports and events becoming a competitive space in streaming, this lawsuit could impact Netflix’s plans to expand into the market further.
