Background
Netflix, a top video streaming service, ventured into broadcasting live events with the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match. However, this move was marred with technical issues, leading to widespread backlash from viewers. This lawsuit could serve as a cautionary tale for streaming platforms venturing into live broadcast.
Future Implications
