    I read it more as an empty threat, where they are hoping a decent chunk of gullible fans who streamed the fight either pay them $50 or will buy the next one instead of streaming.

      It would cost them way more than $50 to bring legal action.

      They clearly lost a load of money on the event and are trying to scare people, it's the oldest trick in the book.

      That trash wasn't even worth streaming for free.

        The freak show stuff is what they should continue to do. They can make money off it and get free agent fighters in the ring from time to time. I like that because then it's really of no importance and I can choose not to watch. I just want them to stay out of actual boxing. That market is severely flooded as is.

          It's like I said before.

          They're not going to last long having a bunch of people up there smoking weed and a drunk De La Hoya with Ric Flair judging a slap contest.

          It's an unprofessional, outlaw mudshow promotion.


          I actually want them to succeed - competition is good, but they need to clean stuff up. Straight up.

            Triller just STOP! This is NOT the way to stop Illegal Streaming! They're basically looking for anybody who talked about watching the Event Illegally and sending them threats. I guess they have sent out MILLIONS of these Messages that is a lot of work

              $50 to watch a YouTuber is outrageous. At that price you're taking something that is designed for the uninformed masses, and making it niche.

              I reckon they've got it very wrong. YouTube fights could be a really good thing for boxing. More eyes on the sport, create more fans. Triller are trying to cash out on it before it's really got going.

              Personally I couldn't even be bothered to illegally stream it, never mind pay, though I did watch it on YouTube later... Triller, come at me for that!

                I think the images out of triller account actually hitting people up for the money is photoshopped. I also think a company trying to get every penny they can is just normal, are they supposed to just pretend they dont see the pirated streams? if they can do anything to curb it than they will, I mean why not its in their best interest. Even if that means making examples out of a few people. Scare tactics works its why its been used for centuries, those that dont know any better will always fall for the sucker play.

                Imagine this, triller get a few people arrested and have all the media outlets and everyone harp on and drive home the pointt hat triller is serious and will prosecute everyone they find of pirating, it will probably get them a 60K more buys? 60k x $50 = $3 Million, thats even money to pay the lawyers and probably the entire staff at triller. So it only makes sense they go this route.

                Now if every streaming outlet got together and made one giant push than they will get some things done, Imagine of every weekend they were charging people for illegally streaming than the idea of them catching will slowly become a reality even if statistically the chance are low but the illusion will be real and daunting those "casuals" from hopping on a stream.

                  So Triller is going after the LDBC community?

                    Trying to get that money and showing people you can't steal your shet is bombing numbers? Let me help you out here --->

                    Lest you forget, this is a completely seperate entity. Youtubers don't take hits on infringement like other people do. There are lawyers that specialize in these types of cases that content creators use regularly and get excellenet results from.

                    This world is new to you, not to me. Observe for a bit and let them work. They did good sales, this is what's called future proofing.

                      Didn't they just make illegal streaming a felony? These companies have the law on their side now. It sucks but is what it is.
