Comments Thread For: Triller Files Lawsuit Against 12 Websites Alleging Piracy Of Paul-Askren Pay-Per-View

Who did they expect to buy that? Not the boxing community for sure. Maybe some Youtubers? I don't think Prograis contributed much from boxing fans. If the Harrison fight wasn't beyond boring, I wouldn't have bothered switching channels to that clown show.

I think the triller app didn't get close to the number they were expecting; therefore, the lawsuit. Whether successful or not, the bad news for them is: They can NEVER kill the streaming sites. Before they block some, better ones appear, if you know how to find them. I've been observing this trend for over 20 years.

What is the best way to find them?

I'm a newb at the whole streaming thing

[chepboxingking]

Let's analyze that.

If you had a choice between someone handing you $50 million or someone else handing you $250 million dollars...where the only requirement for you to get the $250 million is that you have to actually take a shower...

In your mind, just walk around dirty and smelly and it's still $50 million, YOLO. Right?

Because that's what you're basically saying.

The reason for the piracy has nothing to do with the commentary, alcohol drinking and weed smoking. It has everything to do with people finding a way to save a few $$ . If what you're saying is accurate, the UFC and their "professional commentary" should be raking in 2.5-3 million buys when McGregor fights, but instead his #s are similar to that of thriller.

I don't think Triller thinks they are going to stop online pirating. lmao They are trying to limit and make it harder to find illegal streams for their PPVs. You file a lawsuit like this to put these sites on notice for the next PPV and some if not all mentioned will not attempt to stream it while facing a ongoing lawsuit. Yes others will spring up but it's a cat and mouse game to make it a little harder. Triller loses nothing by filing this and whatever net gains they get for the next PPV is worth it.

It's a smart move by Triller It's not about collecting damages for Paul/Askren it's about putting out a big lawsuit to put fear and try to limit those mentioned in the lawsuit and anyone else that will try and host pirate streams for future Triller PPVs. Fight was already a success did 1.3-1.5M PPV buys and they trying to limit illegal streams for the next PPV. NBA head coach complaining about the refs after the game it's not about the game that was already played it's to try and influence calls in your favor for the next game.

Well said.

Even the ones that are scheduled to be blocked are already looking for modifications to continue or a variant.

Streaming crappy products for free will never stop. It's a pipe dream.

Every media provider in the world has tried to stop it. Can't be done. There's countries where it's not illegal. Can't do ****. Most fights are on youtube within an hour, sure they get taken down but they keep getting put back on.

McGregor has terrible numbers because he's taken L's and been exposed. Three times now, once to a 40+ year old retired boxer with "peanut brittle hands" (Dana White's words".

When has McGregor sold over 1.5 million without kabib or floyd? Even before he lost...

[PBR Streetgang]

So....more people stole it than bought it.

Like I tried to tell people on Reddit...when you have your commentary team drinking and smoking weed and some random guy actually trashing the product between fights, plus terrible music including Bieber yelling at a crowd that isn't there and basic fights...you're not putting forth a professional presentation. It's doomed to fail.

Sounds like you've watched a few of these yourself, guess they have you as a fan.
