Facebook and other social networks did remove pirated streams throughout the night.
“We devote significant resources to address copyright issues for live content on Facebook. Video publishers and media companies can provide reference streams of live content that are checked against files in our Rights Manager tool," a Facebook spokesperson wrote in an emailed statement ahead of the match.
Twitter made it impossible to discover pirated streams by searching for "Mayweather" and "McGregor" on the app.

Showtime and its partners like Facebook "successfully blocked and removed the highest number of unauthorized streams for any event in the company’s history," a Showtime spokesperson wrote in an emailed statement.
"We did this through cooperative efforts with our distribution partners and social media platforms during the live event, as well as with proactive court action blocking third party websites that offered illegal live streams," the statement reads.
Meanwhile, Showtime was hit with a class-action lawsuit from customers due to streaming issues the night of the fight. Attorney Michael Fuller wrote that Showtime knowingly served "untested, underpowered service" and "misrepresented the quality" of the feeds.
Showtime said it will issue a full refund to any customer who was unable to receive the stream, as long as they purchased the event directly from the pay-per-view channel.
