Comments Thread For: Triller Finalizes Deal To Acquire FITE Streaming Platform

[Oldskoolg]

Before COVID DAZN agreed to air bi weekly Thursday night fights on top of their once a month bigger cards. I don't think DAZN is honoring that deal anymore and is only giving Golden Boy 1 card a month and it seems like a struggle for them to green light even 1 fight a month for Golden Boy. DAZN also refused to pay Canelo's contract and other US deals they refused to pay like MLB whiparound and Bellator all have left DAZN. I think DAZN is focusing on global subscribers and no longer cares about US market. They closed their boxing office in the US, rebranded DAZN USA to DAZN Boxing. IMO Golden Boy puts on far more entertaining cards then Hearn is doing despite a smaller budget with few card dates from DAZN. Hearn cards cater UK fans and have pretty horrible undercards.

Dayzin should have gone with Golden Boy as their lead promotion, they would be far better off. The whole “you have to be a dayzin fighter to fight a dayzin fighter” doomed that outfit

It's the PBC that has refused to share their fighters and is the cancer killing boxing. Hopefully Triller can help with that and broadcast the PBC fighters world wide and free them from Haymon, Haymons lot literally said if Ruiz had beaten Joshua again no other companies would have been allowed to fight for those belts look what they have done to the Welterweights, Even when fighters offer to fight on Fox / Showtime they still decline eg Andrade.

Haymons plan was always Haymon champs that fight no other boxers, no other countries fighters would be allowed to compete sort of a USA UFC of boxing though they would still call themselves world champions.

No, it's a streaming service. I believe it costs $5 dollars a month.

So there's a monthly rate to subscribe but they they also put on PPV's? Gonna have to have some much better fights on regularly than what they are doing right now to get subscribers

PBC-SHOWTIME
TOP RANK-ESPN
MATCHROOM-DAZN
GOLDEN BOY-TRILLER
The big 4 of boxing.

FiteTV already has a bunch of subscribers.

Monthly subscription and then I'm sure they will do PPVs for certain events. No different from ESPN+/SHO.

Yeah I don’t really care about all that you wrote.

Hopefully, the days of top fighters being tied up in long term contracts with promoters and networks will soon be over. They can go wherever the best fights and the biggest paydays are to be found at any given time. That has got to be good for the fans and the sport as a whole, not just for the fighters themselves.

This is the world I hope for with these boxers, not having to sign their lives away to anyone. Imagine Crawford being able to fight not just on ESPN but Sho, Fox, Triller, DAZN or whoever brings the most money for anyone of his fights.

Instead we have fans who are caping for certain networks. Even if it meant the boxers getting paid less.

Triller is what put on the Tyson/RJJ PPV and will be putting on the Lopez PPV in June.

Ryan Kavanaugh is the one who runs Triller.

I don't know how big of a player they will be in boxing, but they are paying great money at the moment and with FiteTV, they will be able to put on non-PPV shows.

he's no multibillionaire..
the plan was simple. Create some hype events using celeb names...
float Triller for billions...pump and dump.

everyone seems to be doing this these days. spotify gave joe rogan $100m just so their stock can pump in the billions. 100m is a snip in that context.

It's hard to root against a company who's intentions are to provide boxing but isn't everything getting too fractionated? How much further can we spread things without getting an even worse product than we do now?

I think Triller's whole angle is that fighters shouldn't be locked into deals in the first fooking place, which I agree with whole heartedly. So idk that they can fook things up too bad. And they only plan on doing a handful of shows a year. I think Triller can only make things better with that angle. That said Tyson is saying Triller is claiming they got him locked into a deal for x fights or for x years or some such sh^t like that so that might be their don't worry about us approach for now til they gain more power idk.

But fook man the status quo is fooking awful so I'm pro ANYTHING that could shake things up. I was hyped for PBC. I was hyped for Roc Nation. I was hyped for that crazy AIBA guy who was talking about getting into pro boxing more. And I'm for Triller now. Fooking boxing needs SOMETHING to push things past the current bs thats warped the sport into something that makes no fooking sense outside the ring. I don't even bother to keep track of belts anymore. I know who's #1 to me & I know who the top 5-10 guys are in a division. All the rest means nothing to me anymore. Belts are trash & meaningless to hardcore fans who aren't stockholm syndromed into giving a fook about them.
