Triller's last PPV must not have made what they expected it to make

[FinitoxDinamita]

I dont like the ****** event. Too many trashy characters like Snoop and comedians acting like foos in front of cameras. Cursing and smoking wtf?

Boxing is a classy sport not a fkin ****** rap concert. Not some backyard boogie with these scumbagss.

We already have the PBC, DAZN and Top Rank. We don't need a 4th platform. A lot less cream is gonna rise to the top.

I hear that. By all accounts Triller has been doing numbers, if they can direct their audience towards real fights it's good for the health of boxing.

PPV model is here to stay though. Fighters will always demand more money and promoters aren't willing to pay their faire share, they'll gamble on PPV instead.

At least if there's a young audience coming up that's hungry for watching real fighters, that will incentivise promoters and managers to make cross promotional fights to capitalise on their interest.

The one reason I didn't care about Triller is because people seemed to have fun watching it. But if they're trying to actually get into boxing and now going after people then I hope they fail.

I'm honestly shocked by all of this. Record and movies companies more-or-less gave up on this approach because it was costing them more money to have a team of lawyers and analysts going after people than it did to just leave it be.

Yeah cause we all wanna be paying $50 to watch YouTubers, washed fighters and even more washed rappers.

The sooner these clowns go bust the better.

It's about converting casuals into fans. UFC popped because kids moved from WWE to MMA

It doesn’t convert them though. The kids are fans of the YouTubers not boxing and what the YouTubers are doing really isn’t boxing- it’s a circus act in a boxing ring.

WWE fans watched Brock and Punk, they didn’t watch UFC. The atmosphere at UFC 225 was dead for the main event cause all the wrestling fans left after Punk got beat.

And over time as they grew older they ended up watching UFC more and more. Their starting point was wrestling. It wasn't just because of Lesnar who obviously has crossover appeal, the nature of the sports allowed for it. Eventually they all wanted to watch "real fighting"

Youtube boxing is circus BS but that's what boxing was originally before Marquis of Queensbury, a lot of BS fights, with its roots in prizefighting. Whether you're taking on members of the audience or wrestling mixed in with boxing. it was a circus and people paid to watch it.

Casuals love the spectacle of boxing but with nobody to root for that's the problem

There's obviously a casual audience willing to pay for boxing but there isn't many star boxers Canelo & AJ aside. If this platform can create stars while putting actual fighters on then I'm all for it.

There’s literally no statistical evidence that supports the theory that these type of events/fights draw more eyes to the sport.

The whole “creates new fans” is just a cliche to justify these sort of money grabs.

I remember 4 years ago people telling me Mayweather-McGregor would bring new fans to boxing. It evidently didn’t and the numbers support that.

Hopefully this speeds up the death of all these ******ed freakshow fights.

I know some people that watched it but I don’t know anyone that paid for it.
