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.
I don’t even view triller as a boxing platform. They are more so an entertainment company that just so happens to use boxing as their chosen form of combat. Is anything really off the table for them? I wouldn’t even be surprised if they did a mma event.
Ortiz loses to all 3. It’s probably too early to say this but Ennis is possibly the best out of them all. Word to @LauderdaleBossso vergil is ready for spence n bud... but need 48 months to be ready for boots..lol
