And another...
"Now, clearly, Periscope (and Meerkat for that matter) was not designed to be used to allow individuals to broadcast fights that cost $100 on Pay-per-view.
As a result, streams would frequently get shut down, either because Periscope put an end to the piracy or because of other intermittent connection issues.
As a result, finding a consistent way to watch the fight was a challenge. Often, a stream would be successfully active for one round, only to immediately go black.
This wasn't really a problem, however, because like a hydra, we could just go to another Periscope stream somewhere else in the world to watch the fight on someone else's TV."
