The highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson on November 15, 2024, attracted over 108 million global viewers on Netflix but was marred by significant streaming issues, leading to a class-action lawsuit filed by Florida man Ronald 'Blue' Denton. The lawsuit claims Netflix breached its contract by providing an 'unwatchable' livestream, citing buffering, glitches, and a lack of access that frustrated nearly a million viewers. Despite Netflix's acknowledgment of the technical challenges faced during the event, the platform touted the fight as the 'most-streamed sporting event ever,' reaching 65 million concurrent households in the U.S. and peaking at 56% of all TV viewership during the broadcast. Critics voiced their disappointment over the fight's quality, with some suggesting contractual limitations on Tyson's performance. Viewers also encountered additional blunders, including unexpected content shown during the stream. As Netflix prepares for future live events, including an NFL double-header on Christmas Day, the company faces scrutiny over its streaming capabilities.
