Mayweather-Pacquiao vs. Illegal Streamers

HBO, Showtime and other promoters of the highly anticipated Mayweather-Pacquiao boxing match are preemptively lashing out against websites advertising free illegal streams of the bout. The premium cable channels this week filed a federal lawsuit seeking to shut down two sites specifically. The battle against pirated streams will be a major test for the sports media industry, and the stakes are high: The fight is expected to be the most lucrative boxing match in history, and the most pirated sporting event ever.
