New update: Netflix hit with $50M class-action lawsuit over Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight streaming glitches

A Florida man has filed a class-action lawsuit against Netflix over the poor streaming quality that affected millions during the widely viewed boxing match between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and YouTube personality Jake Paul on Friday night.

Ronald “Blue” Denton, a resident of Hillsborough County, Florida, alleged that the streaming giant was guilty of breach of contract over the frequent glitches, according to TMZ.

The class-action lawsuit filed in Florida state court is seeking damages of at least $50 million.

60 million Americans were hyped to see ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ versus Youtuber-turner-prizefighter Jake Paul. What they saw was ‘The Baddest Streaming on Planet,’” the lawsuit claims.

It was alleged that many viewers missed portions of the fight due to the interruptions.

“Netflix customers experienced massive streaming issues and should have known better because it’s happened before. They were woefully ill-prepared,” according to the lawsuit.
