Triller Fight Club today announced that it has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court of Central California with regard to widespread piracy that impacted their April 17 Triller Fight Club Pay Per View event that was held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The lawsuit seeks $100 million in damages from the groups named.
“It’s shocking to think a theft so grand can be done so blatantly and brazenly and with no remorse. There is zero difference between what they did and walking into a market stealing tons of a product and selling it at a discount in the parking lot. It’s neither civilly nor criminally any different, and we are prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law. There were more than two million illegal streams, akin to hundreds of millions of dollars,” said Ryan Kavanaugh, co-controlling shareholder of Triller.
They should be happy, free promotion because what casual fan even knows about it unless they are following a youtube celebrity.
No it’s theft; people think that they are entitled to shit just because they want it. If I come into your house and take something from you can I just say you should be happy that I moved it for you?
Maybe Ryan Cavanaugh can hold a suance and summon the spirit of Johnnie Cochran to take his bush case.
Yeah I pirated it….sue me
It’s actually the equivalent of walking into a market and stealing rotten fruit
In this day and age, piracy is a common denominator since the digital world is only a click away and with great access. I am sure Hollywood takes a bigger beating from movies than many other forms of entertainment.
Imo, I don’t mind the celebrity boxing Jake Paul situation getting into the boxing scene anymore. It’s introducing new fans to the sport.. look, if they don’t belong in the ring. Show them that.. when you knock them out and take their fans. It is important for Paul to show love and respect to the guy who beats him because idk how his fans will react to people who beat him since they’re not real boxing fans. They might cancel boxing all together so we have to make sure they understand that the his opponent was the better fighter and deserved the win in a fair competition. I like the drama.. the build up.. the entertainment. As long as the competition is matched up evenly. One sided fights suck but sometimes those are difficult to predict.
yes, its the same as stealing used toilet paper 🙂
good luck collecting on a future judgement….
Honestly these “Paul” people should be reported to the department of consumer affairs. The Golden Calf has to fight a credible opponent. They fought in Georgia because of the weak commission. NY or West Coast it don’t happen. He’s claiming to be “punchy” anyway. They didn’t do the numbers they said who cares fly by night the guys gonna end up in an ambulance ER ride two or three more fights I guarantee it.
Quite certain over 2 million viewers already kicked themselves in the ass for wasting their Saturday night. I’m sure it was somewhat interesting even if the fights themselves sucked because Oscar stole the show. Being drunk & high on tv with tons of kids watching is exactly what boxing needed.
Not like those who stole this were actually going to buy this if they couldn’t get it legally. Should be thankful that there were any people that thought this was worth pay per view.
i do agree, it was a shit show and i didn’t even think about it until i saw the result on Sunday. However, i have never been one to buy into the argument that ‘it is too shit to buy, but i am going to stream it’. If you’re streaming it, you want to watch it, simple as that. This isn’t taking the moral high ground. I just think it is funny when people complain about a garbage show that isn’t worth watching, then spend their whole saturday night with a laptop on their knee streaming it. I guarantee 99% of the people who stream the shit shows, stream the mega fights aswell.
Who wold buy that crap
So there were two million illegal streams of this garbage?
Okay, I’m no lawyer obviously, but wouldn’t “Triller versus two million streamers” be really hard to prosecute?
Just gathering evidence alone would be difficult.
Anyway, it’s laughable to hear that the company that puts a drugged-up De La Hoya on TV plus makes the Paul Vs. Askren fight a main event ahead of fighters who actually deserve that slot is the same company complaining about ethics.
Triller overcharged an audience of millions for a freakshow and the only reason they’re complaining is because a few people were smart enough to figure a way around it.
I didn’t watch the Paul/Askren fight on Pay-Per-View, I haven’t watched it on YouTube and I won’t watch it ever if I can avoid it, but God bless the people who illegally streamed this garbage and may Triller’s suit be thrown out or may they just lose.
I guess Dana white was right when he said they didn’t make the numbers they claimed.
Jake Paul is doing exactly what Floyd Mayweather did most of his career. Floyd picked his washed up opponents and when he decided to fight them. Paul is infuriating the African American community because he is exposing modern day boxing and it’s shit millennial fans as casuals who know nothing about boxing’s history. Today’s fighter’s won’t fight each other and you can blame Floyd for this. Floyd is also responsible for the Jake and Logan Paul’s too. Today’s crap boxing fans are more fascinated by gold chains and fast cars boxers have than the sport.
People will be mad and not like triller, just like Lars Ulrich with his lawsuit with nabster, there will be repercussions with triller
No moron would pay for that shitshow but it was sure entertaining and funny af to watch for free and clown on Twitter at the same time though
Triller is going to go broke with these freaky pay per view events.
