It seems there are not that many ‘suckers’ out there after all. Boxing fans, the overwhelming majority of them anyway, voted with their feet and ran as far as they could from last Saturday night’s ‘we-could-see-it-coming,’ car crash of an exhibition bout between 44-year-old Vitor Belfort and 58 years old (59 next month) Evander Holyfield.
When Triller Fight Club made their debut last year with the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr fight, it was a big success.
Last Saturday night, Triller CEO Ryan Kavanaugh has offered YouTuber Jake Paul $30 million to face former MMA champion Vitor Belfort in a winner takes all match on Thanksgiving in November.
Vitor Belfort may have finished off the career of former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield in destroying him by a first round knockout on Saturday night in their main event on Triller PPV at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Floria.

Another two straws were placed on the camel’s back, with the camel representing the sport of boxing obviously. With the recent news heading into this weekend’s fight schedule, long-time followers of the sweet science are left scratching their heads in almost awe.
Promoter Bob Arum is irate about the Florida Commission giving 58-year-old Evander Holyfield permission to fight this Saturday night in an eight round fight against Vitor Belfort in a boxing match on Triller PPV.
Due partially to his glacially slow performance at a recent open work-out, due in another big part to his age, plenty of Evander Holyfield fans, along with fight fans and boxing supporters in general, are a little uncomfortable right now.
