Just last week, Triller COO Thorsten Meier told Yahoo! Sports that the promotion would be “stepping away from the exhibition stuff,” in response to their widely panned recent fight card featuring a headlining bout between Evander Holyfield and Oscar De La Hoya.
For fight fans hoping that might mean an end to old men duking it out atop PPV cards, however, it doesn’t seem the upstart social media and combat sports platform is interested in that serious of a course correction. In a recent episode of the MMA Hour, Triller president Ryan Kavanaugh sat down with Ariel Helwani to talk about the promotion’s future plans.
