Netflix sued over Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight as lawsuit filed days after fight

Netflix are being sued over their service crashing for the Jake Paul’s win over Mike Tyson on Friday.

The blockbuster event at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas aired live on Netflix, with it being included in users’ existing subscriptions. The demand proved to be unprecedented as according to Most Valuable Promotions, it was the most-streamed sporting event ever.

It’s estimated that there were 108 million total viewers and 65 million live streams but the broadcast was not without issues. There were plenty of complaints about buffering and poor picture quality, with 90,000 recorded by downdetector.com in one point in the early stages.

In fact, one viewer was so furious with the issues they experienced that they proceeded to take legal action. According to TMZ Sports, Ronald “Blue” Dento filed a class-action lawsuit in Florida on Monday.

He is suing the streaming giant breach of contract and wants unspecified damages after claiming he and others “were faced with legendary problems, including: no access, streaming glitches, and buffering issues” as soon as they loaded up the broadcast.
