Conor McGregor & Troubled Triller: A Quick Win or Long-Haul Loss?

Think about this: a world without TikTok. TikTok users in the US faced this reality briefly until Donald Trump stepped in. In this sudden gap, Triller TV, a video-sharing app based in America, saw an opening. They nabbed Conor McGregor for support, but there’s a catch. Triller has had a rough past with combat sports, notably not paying Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. fully after their 2020 fight. Now, they’re trying to resurface, hoping Conor’s backing will float their boat. But with TikTok back, will it all be for naught? Triller’s had a bumpy ride. They orchestrated the Tyson vs. Jones Jr. bout, a win for their visibility but a loss for their credibility. Both fighters complained about incomplete payments. Triller’s CEO, Ryan Kavanaugh, tried to smooth things over, but the damage was done. Even UFC’s Dana White criticized Triller's payment practices. Their plans to acquire the Teofimo Lopez vs. George Kambosos Jr. fight hit a wall too, costing them a hefty sum. Now, Triller’s banking on Conor’s popularity. His backing could put them back in the game. But their past missteps and TikTok’s swift return threaten their chances. Will McGregor’s shine rub off or fade out? Time will tell if Triller can regain trust and market share.
