Netflix Faces Multiple Lawsuits Over Streaming Issues

Netflix is facing multiple lawsuits following the technical failures during the live stream of the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match, which was plagued by buffering and outages. Florida resident Ronald 'Blue' Denton filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing Netflix of breach of contract and deceptive practices, as viewers were unable to watch the event smoothly despite its large-scale promotion. Reports indicated that over 108 million viewers attempted to watch the fight, leading to significant stream instability. Netflix acknowledged the technical challenges and claimed the event was still a success in terms of viewership. The lawsuits emphasize Netflix's alleged lack of preparedness for the event, arguing that the company should have anticipated the high demand. As Netflix plans future sports broadcasts, the outcome of these lawsuits could have a profound impact on its live streaming strategy.
