Two pirate sites which will allegedly offer Pacquiao vs Mayweather free live streaming has been knocked out earlier by legit PPV channels - HBO and Showtime.
Accoding to a report, HBO and Showtime joined forces with promoters Top Rank and Mayweather Promotions in filing a a complaint with a federal court in Florida against boxinghd.net and sportship.org, which had announced plans to live-stream the fight.
What they asked is a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, as well as, rather oddly, damages to compensate for expected losses and legal costs.
It's the first time ever that the lawsuit has been filed over piracy that hasn’t yet taken place – Minority Report, disappointingly, not having attracted the same concern.
Both boxinghd.net and sportship.org have been taken offline, although HBO and Showtime are still calling for a court order actually shutting the sites down to make sure that they don’t magically reappear on Saturday.
And they are, of course, just two sites amongst many. Indeed, HBO and Showtime still have a massive job ahead if they’re to make a serious dent in piracy on the big night. Teams of experts will no doubt be hard at it detecting pirate links and attempting to get them taken down.
