This commentary team already better than DAZN

say what you will about Triller but its looking like they'll put up the money to make the big fights happen ,
they even hinted at a possible Teofimo vs Prograis fight

this just may be a glimpse into the future of boxing

As much as I'd love Teofimo vs Prograis, i don't think Prograis is gonna be able to stick around at 140 long enough. That would be a good ass fight.

This triller shyt is a novelty though. Boxing telecasts are not going to turn into amateurs throwing hands and long ass music sets.

The fukkery is fun, but that shyt is going to wear thin soon. Once the novelty of robots and Snoop's commentary wears off, people are going to move on.

I'm predicting triller fight club dwindles in popularity like verzuz.

As long as Triller keeps providing fades without the politics and diva antics they will be around. This new generation aint with the talking and marinating shyt, if you don't give them the fights they want within a reasonable amount of time they will turn on you. There is a reason why boxings popularity is where it is bruh, the interest in boxing is still there, everything else it became known for not much. Triller is bringing that feeling back.

I disagree. Boxing was on a roll before the pandemic, big fights were not only being made, but also selling fairly well.

Boxing's perceived lack of popularity is to a certain extent overblown. The 3 major promoters have each secured three different major platforms for THEMSELVES. If boxing was in the shytter, we would be watching Fury Wilder 2 at 11PM on Spike TV or some shyt, but we don't. We see them on FOX, ESPN and Showtime.

Boxing is also one of the main driving forces behind streaming services like DAZN and ESPN+, and to a lesser degree, Triller. Whether you want to believe it or not, streaming is a trend in entertainment media that is not going anywhere, and boxing has begun to integrate itself into that platform, which bodes well for its future.

It's clear that the PPV model, while still viable in some ways, is becoming a relic in the face of streaming media and piracy. I believe the future of broadcasting revenue will come from innovation in streaming media.

In any case, we're not that far removed from Mayweather breaking records with Canelo, Pacquiao, and McGregor. How can you say that boxing is waning in popularity when some of the highest grossing boxing PPVs came within the past decade alone?

Mayweather left a vacuum in the sport when he retired, but it was on the verge of making a healthy comeback with potential events like Crawford Spence, Joshua vs Wilder or Fury. Even today we see budding potential in fighters like Davis, Teofimo, Garcia, Charlo and Canelo.

What we get from Triller is not the fades that people are actually committed to for the long run. People don't want to see Prograis vs Redkach. They don't want to see Teofimo vs Kambosos. Eventually, the commentators are going to run out of dumb shyt to say, and the people aren't going to care enough to see what out of shape athlete they can throw at Logan Paul.


Edit:

I typed up a whole bunch of shyt to your vague post, when all I really had to post was

Triller is running on gimmicks. I wouldn't bet on it becoming a major player in boxing.
