According to TMZ Sports, the streaming quality during the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight had so many viewers upset that Netflix is now facing a class-action lawsuit as a result.
Court records obtained by the news outlet reveal that Ronald “Blue” Denton filed the lawsuit in Florida on Monday, just three days after he and many others experienced difficulties while trying to watch Netflix’s historic fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Denton alleges in the lawsuit that when him and others attempted to watch the fight which started at 8pm EST, they “were faced with legendary problems, including: no access, streaming glitches, and buffering issues.”

Denton is taking legal action against Netflix for breach of contract, among other claims, and he is seeking damages that have not been specified.
Netflix has not made any public comments regarding the ongoing lawsuit, but it did admit in a statement on Saturday that there were streaming issues during the event.
“We don’t want to dismiss the poor experience of some members,” Netflix officials stated, “and know we have room for improvement, but still consider this event a huge success.”
