Exclamation Netflix hit with $50M Class-Action Lawsuit over Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fFght

GOOD!!!! Part of the suit should be for the ridiculous Buffering and the other part for the Craptastic, shitty ass so-called Fight.

Vegas is coming for vengeance lol

I had no problem just bailing when the buffering got intolerable, but somehow knew somebody, somewhere was going to file a law suit over it.

..... and yes, should have known better because it's happened before.

that fight was a joke. i watched it and yes it was blurry and stopped streaming at times. it was just a money grab, i feel sorry for the people that bought tickets to the event. utterly devoid of any drama.

Glad I skipped it. I watched Tyson/Frazier and Tyson/Spinks on youtube instead. Tyson in his prime was downright scary.

I feel sorry for those who watched it at all expecting it to be real.

Mike was paid to lose, and he's a bad actor, that simple, he would have killed him

ahhhhhh i heard the fight prior to was the one to watch! That reminds me, i need to watch it. But yea I think mike got paid to take a dive. Boxing is more entertainment centered now so theres that. Too old? Maybe....but we all have dads and have experienced that "old man" strength so who knows.

There is truth in this, but if you read the rules, and watch the replays in slow motion, you can certainly tell that Mike wasn't going 100%.

Anyone who thinks any Jake Paul match is real probably also thinks wrestling is real

Put this lawsuit up there with the McDonalds hot coffee bullshit. People need to get a life. It's just entertainment.

Yeah... you might want to do a little reading on that case. 2nd degree burns from coffee that McD's knew was too hot from previous complaints and out of court settlements. Where this lady lost credibility was when, a couple years later, she tried it again on purpose with another fast food place.

Ok. Good point.

However suing Netflix over a broadcast that really had no effect or physical damage is ridiculous. I hope you can agree with me on that point.

BUT, I can see the point as I am sure there was a significant amount of gambling that took place. Lots to be implicated when the result is predetermined.

But if the suit is strictly over the quality of the Netflix stream, then.....
