Triller throws in the towel on Lopez-Kambosos bout after racking up $10M in promotional costs

Three months after a resounding success promoting a Mike Tyson exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr., Triller Fight Club rocked the boxing world on Feb. 26 when it won the right to promote a Teofimo Lopez undisputed lightweight title defense with an astoundingly high bid of $6.018 million.

On Saturday, nearly $10 million in the hole with several date changes, no fight and nothing to show for it, Triller’s COO told Yahoo Sports it has given up on promoting the IBF mandatory title defense between Lopez and George Kambosos as it re-charts its course.
