Ex-President Donald Trump paid $2.5 million by Triller for commentating Holyfield Vs. Belfort event

Former United States President, Donald Trump, received a huge payment for commentating the Evander Holyfield Vs. Vitor Belfort in 2021.

In the few years since Triller has moved into the combat sports world, their story has been filled with controversies and questionable business decisions. They did get off to a good start however, putting on a fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr in November of 2020. The exhibition contest was well received and drew great interest – reportedly doing over one million pay-per-view buys.

They would also play host to the Jake Paul Vs Ben Askren fight, an event which would oddly feature performances by huge music stars such as Diplo, Justin Bieber and Doja Cat.
