In addition to this, other moments also drew backlash from viewers. Justin Bieber forgot he had another song and almost walked off early. Furthermore, the Regis Prograis vs. Ivan Redkach fight ended in a controversial decision, and fans criticized Redkach for faking a low-blow.
Thus, the Triller event was a mixed bag. However, this clearly did not affect the monetary aspect as they drew an enormous $75 million solely from the PPV revenue. Now, they will look to draw in boxing fans as their next event will see Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr and the return of Evander Holyfield.
