Aso Rock Restaurant and Lounge, McKinney, Texas, illegally showed the Manny Pacquiao vs. Yordenis Ugas boxing match in August 2021, alleged distribution rights holder G&G Closed Circuit Events in a Monday piracy complaint (docket 3:23-cv-00507) in U.S. District Court for Northern Texas in Dallas. The restaurant didn’t contract with G&G to obtain rights to broadcast the event, the complaint said.
