Like millions of others across the world, I watched the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight in a living room surrounded by other boxing fans. Except, the living room wasn't mine and my co-watchers were virtual
That's right, like many, many others, I watched Mayweather defeat Pacquiao on Periscope.

A few days ago, we joked in the newsroom that the live streaming services Meerkat and Periscope would be heavily used during this "fight of the century." We had no-idea how prescient that would be.
Cable PPV connections may have experienced issues with overloading that delayed the start of the fight by about 45 minutes, but by the time the fight was ready to go, Periscope and Meerkat were ready.
