Netflix is facing a fight of its own just days after airing the highly anticipated battle between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.
The streamer is facing a class action lawsuit for the extensive technical difficulties that plagued the boxing match.
Here’s what you need to know.
Netflix’s Fight In Court
Not long after Netflix aired the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson…
A class action lawsuit was issued against the company for being ill-prepared to stream the boxing match on its site.
The lawsuit brings claims for breach of contract and violations of consumer protection laws in Florida.
The Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight on Netflix was the streamer’s biggest sporting event ever…
With over 108 million viewers tuning in.
However, soon after the fight began…
VIEWERS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WERE UNABLE TO WATCH THE MATCH DUE TO EXCESSIVE BUFFERING, STALLING, AND SOME BEING UNABLE TO ACCESS THE LIVESTREAM ALTOGETHER.
Netflix received over 97,000 official complaints relating to issues when streaming the fight. On X, “NetflixBroken,” “unwatchable,” and “#buffering” started trending.
When faced with complaints about the fight, Netflix refused to issue refunds or discounts. The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages and seeks to represent anyone affected by the technical difficulties.
“INSTEAD OF PROVIDING THE PROGRAMMING ITS VIEWERS PAY FOR EVERY MONTH, NETFLIX WAS COMPLETELY UNPREPARED AND UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUES,”
Ultimately, it’s clear that if Netflix can’t resolve issues with its fights…
Netflix won’t just be fighting its servers…
Be Great,
