Netflix is facing a $50 million class action lawsuit over widespread streaming problems during the November 25, 2024, live stream of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. Filed by Florida resident Ronald "Blue" Denton, the lawsuit accuses Netflix of breaching its contract with subscribers, who were promised seamless access to the event without additional pay-per-view charges.

The fight, promoted by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, drew an estimated 60 million viewers but was plagued by buffering, glitches, and access failures. By 9:46 p.m. ET, over 97,000 complaints about technical issues had been reported, sparking outrage on social media. Denton’s suit describes the disruptions as “legendary,” contrasting Netflix’s claims of addressing the issues “brilliantly.”

While Netflix and the event's promoters celebrated record-breaking viewership and ticket sales, the lawsuit argues that subscribers were denied the experience they were promised. Denton seeks unspecified damages on behalf of affected U.S. Netflix subscribers. This case could have implications for how streaming platforms handle technical failures during high-profile live events.
