I was watching Luke Thomas’ podcast (big mistake, I know) but he simultaneously complained that Askren got more money from boxing while saying that Triller lost money on the event. The event was put together to promote some app apparently.
All the Triller fight proves is that Askren didn’t deserve anywhere near 500k since the company didn’t break even. The UFC was paying him the right amount.
Actually it’s not uncommon form boxing promotion like Top Rank, DAZN, PBC, actually lose MILLIONS per event because athlete pay.
Every event is essentially a giant gamble and they rolling dice. Sometimes they make big profits but taking big losses isn’t unusual
