Knowing full well that its viewership wouldn't be very high during the boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, Saturday Night Live decided to admit defeat and air a "pirated stream" of the fight.

Enter Jay Pharoah and Aidy Bryant as Mayweather and Pacquiao, respectively.

The sketch quickly fell apart -- although that seemed to be the point -- as Kenan Thompson and Pharoah "left to watch the match in Wiz Khalifa's dressing room."

Way to own it, SNL.
