What's the Netflix Tyson-Paul Streaming Class Action?

A $50,000,000 class action lawsuit has been filed against Netflix for failing to deliver services to paying subscribers during the Mike Tyson v Jake Paul boxing fight. The class action lawsuit follows allegations that Netflix's wide-reaching streaming issues failed to provide reliable streaming services during the highly anticipated fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.

The class action lawsuit alleges that Netflix subscribers experienced "no access," "streaming glitches," and "buffering issues," which prevented them from watching the fight as promised.

Why is Netflix Being Sued for the Tyson Paul Fight?

The class action lawsuit against Netflix over the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight streaming issues is based on several key reasons:

• Streaming glitches and buffering problems prevented many viewers from watching the fight properly.

• Some users experienced "no access" to the stream, missing large portions or the entire fight.

• Netflix allegedly failed to deliver the advertised streaming services while continuing to charge subscribers.

• The lawsuit claims Netflix was "woefully ill-prepared" for the massive influx of viewers, despite previous experiences with streaming issues.

• A significant portion of paying Netflix subscribers were reportedly unable to view the live event.

The Mike Tyson fight class action lawsuit accuses Netflix of breaching contractual obligations and engaging in misleading business practices. It seeks over $50 million in damages, arguing that subscribers incurred financial losses and experienced undue inconvenience and frustration.

What is the Total Settlement Amount?

The class action lawsuit is for an estimated $50,000,000. It is unclear yet how much of this claimed action lawsuit amount is being asked for in terms of monetary damages on behalf of Netflix subscribers who watched the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match. The class action complaint is still pending with the Court and has only been recently filed as of April 2025.

How Do I Qualify For a Payout?

If there is eventually a class action settlement, to potentially qualify for a payout, you must be a Netflix subscriber who experienced streaming issues during the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight.

Netflix Privacy and Antitrust Class Actions

1) Netflix Multi-Billion Dollar Antitrust Class Action Lawsuit

A more recent antitrust lawsuit has been filed over allegations that Netflix had unprecedented access to Facebook users' private messages and that the two internet giants conspired to fix prices and limit competition, leading to higher Netflix subscription costs, and further violations of consumer rights and marketplace options. The court has not yet decided that anyone has committed any wrongdoing, and no settlement has yet been reached.

The class action lawsuit claims that Facebook allowed Netflix to gain valuable insights from Facebook's user messages, which helped the streaming service target users based on their private messags. In return, Netflix allegedly invested hundreds of millions into Facebook's advertising.

The class action lawsuit suggests that this partnership influenced Meta's decision to shut down Facebook Watch, a competitor to Netflix, raising serious concerns about competition and consumer privacy. Meta and Facebook deny any wrongdoing—asserting that their agreement merely improved user experiences. According to the class action lawsuit, Meta and Netflix's agreement around Facebook's decision to scale back its Facebook Watch platform, despite its initial success, in exchange for valuable user data and increased advertising spending from Netflix, may have violated federal antitrust monopoly laws.

2) $9M Netflix Privacy Class Action Lawsuits

Netflix had previously reached a $9 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit that claimed violations of the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA). The class action settlement involved allegations that Netflix improperly retained customers' rental histories for up to two years even after they canceled their subscriptions. The class action argued on behalf of consumers that Netflix violated privacy laws, which mandated that video rental services destroy customer data within one year once it was no longer necessary. Despite the settlement, Netflix did not admit any wrongdoing and paid out $9,000,000 to consumers to avoid a trial.
