The June 19 Triller PPV featuring undisputed lightweight champion ‘Takeover’ Teófimo López vs. ‘Ferocious’ George Kambosos Jr., will split the music and boxing into two separate parts, however, there will still be undisclosed “entertainment” between fights.
“Unlike past events, the concert will be first, so if you only want the concert, you can do that. If it’s not your cup of tea, come for the boxing and the show, or come for all of it. We have something for everyone,” said Ryan Kavanaugh, co-owner of Triller.
This will be the first-ever boxing event held at loanDepot park in Miami, Florida, home of the Miami Marlins, which will be configured in an intimate and unique setting with full open seating for the first time since COVID.
Hip Hop superstar Meek Mill, Latin superstar Myke Towers, and Reggaeton sensation Lunay performing a full-set concert prior to the start of the boxing action.
“This line-up will be as good as the best of the best festivals,” said Triller Fight Club partner Snoop Dogg. “For the first time ever we’re offering fans two for one, come see an epic world-class concert followed by the year’s most important boxing event.”
Will HBO every come back,,,please!
Is this a boxing event or WWE?
HBO will never come back at least not for a sustained period. The best that will ever happen is a maybe return show once in a blue moon, and even that is not probable.
HBO was and will always be the best boxing ! but HBO was smart and saw the writing on wall and got out of boxing , Trilla is a circus side show …. every fight that is even remotely worth watching now is a PPV ….. HBO the good old days!
So fricken ridiculous. After they are going to have a political debate too. Lmao
Boxing. Hip Hop concerts. A drunk ODLH on the mic. The other announcers cussing as much as possible and telling the audience how high they are just to show us all Triller’s unique style. What more could one ask for?
Wonder if Al Bernstein will be back for this. He was a fish out of water on that broadcast team to put it mildly, just a completely awkward pairing. Always liked Al. Hopefully he distances himself from this.
So if you just want the concert, you pay for the concert? If you want the whole event fight/concert you pay for that?

Damn someone mention HBO those were the great days of boxing great commentators quality fights. But I guess time has changed as long as it gives more feedback to boxing the evolution of it it’s way too fast for some but I think is good they did it like that I came here for the boxing get that corny music out
Triller is the biggest joke in boxing next to Deontay Wilder.
They couldn’t pay ME enough to watch this absolutely ridiculous ‘concert’…. the fight doesn’t even interest me much Lopez is not a bad little fighter but he didn’t convince me enough with the Loma win I seen some holes where Loma was in hot pursuit and Lopez appeared to run out of ideas and even falling apart mentally as well as physically. I do give him credit for closing strong although I still thought Loma won a few rounds, big mouth Lopez sr and Jr flatter themselves way too much thinking they thoroughly dominated which wasn’t the case.
Triller overpaid big time for this mediocre fight they are going to end up bankrupt you’ll see. Also not sure I can handle another 2 or 3 minutes let alone a whole fight cats of the awful announcers Snoop and ODLH totally preposterous announcers need to put the crack pipe down before picking up a mic let alone comment on boxing.
I would love to know the true number of buys on that last card. Like Dana White, I’m HIGHLY suspicious of Paul’s claim of 1M plus buys.
CRIP POP. Great. One reason NOT to buy a ticket, or watch the tv fight. I will watch this one on Youtube. I just lost interest. Crip Pop Sucks.
No thanks for the concert cra…oops…I mean the concert shi…oooops…I mean the concert events.
I am looking forward to the professional boxing action only and not the amateur concert fights/possible shanking incident(s).
This is just ridiculous. For heavens sakes!
Sounds fun.
It’s sad how the things we love and enjoy are often taken for granted. J J I feel your pain H B O boxing was elite and stood alone ESPN boxing was a stepping stone for boxers so they could eventually be seen on H B O , showtime boxing always came up short when compared to the big dog H B O. The video and audio production was in a class of its own, the in between round instruction coverage was always clear followed by the professional announcers comment. It seems that every time I’m trying to watch a fight the announcers voices are drowned out by all the crowd noise and when you do get to hear them it’s a bunch of nonsense.ESPNS quality in my opinion is good but will never be equal to HBO everybody else is just trying to be relevant. Al Haymon and Richard Shaeffer with their boxing reform efforts share most of the blame for degrading the purity of my beloved sport of boxing.
Can’t wait for the concert. I missed the last one. Snooper dog was great in NWA – banging trax followed by some fights – it’s not MMA but it will do. Oscar was wild in his commentary last one – saw a new side to him as opposed to the “Golden Child” – reminded me of Rihanna – good girl gone bad. Oscar and Snooper – crazy duo – this is gold and I don’t care for the haters here to be honest … everyone hanging out for Paul to show the dinosaurs of boxing how to produce a KO and rock the crowd.
I remember HBO having aShort lived boxing series called KO Nation with a DJ and music between fights. Think Paul Spadfora may have been featured a time or two. Also remember rock promoter turned boxing promoter Cedric Kushner doing concerts combined with fights.
Floyd also fought Emmanuel Burton on KO Nation. Yeah, it just didn’t work. Add another vote for bringing back the gold standard of HBO Championship Boxing/B.A.D
