I watched the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight on Periscope and saw the future

I was following the stream of tweets on Twitter last night for the fight as well. Clicked on a link through to a web interface of some guy&#x27;s Periscope feed and he had a bit of the fight on. It was a great 6 seconds.<p>He was a journalist and I couldn&#x27;t figure out how to find anymore from him (or maybe he was shutdown from the higher ups or got a warning from friends&#x2F;colleagues).<p>Anyways, I spent some parts of last night trying to figure out what this Meerkat and Periscope was about (not yet a user). If anything, I could see how during big events this could be a big on-boarding method for these 2 services.<p>I haven&#x27;t been this desperate to signup for service since begging for a G+ invite.

She actually saw the present. I watched on some sort of Arabic YouTube channel.
