The illegal activity involves an yet unknown number of website owners that are offering livestreaming of the fight. The fight outside the real fight is between Showtime Networks, Inc., the television channel operator and exclusive producer of the live transmission and those website owners who seek to profit without permission from that live transmission. Unlike the real fight in the ring, we will not know who wins until several months if not years from now. After all, some estimate that the fight will be seen in over one billion homes. You may remember the $500 million or more in revenues earned after the Mayweather fight with Manny Pacquiao in May 2015.
