The specific motto of leveling the playing field between the two sports utilizing crossover gloves and with holding allowed is meant to offer boxing and MMA fighters an even battleground where neither opponent has a greater advantage. 

In the past year, TRILLER FIGHT CLUB has sold over 3,000,000 Pay-Per-Views making it one of the top selling combat sports / entertainment platforms. The widely acclaimed monthly TRILLERVERZ series including world class professional boxing and extraordinary VERZUZ battles has consistently been at the top of watched broadcasts averaging over 5,000,000 views. 

The most recent TRILLERVERZ weekend event on October 16 and 17, saw a massive crowd at BARCLAYS CENTER in Brooklyn, NY witness a once-in-a-lifetime VERZUZ battle on Sunday night between music legends BIG DADDY KANE and KRS-ONE, which followed an outstanding night of professional boxing headlined by CLETUS ‘THE HEBREW HAMMER’ SELDIN and an ICONZ concert headlined by WYCLEF JEAN and SUPER CAT on Saturday night. 

The highly anticipated debut of TRIAD COMBAT on Saturday, November 27 is expected to shatter all existing Pay-Per-View records in a unique broadcast which will include special surprises throughout. 

The inaugural TRIAD COMBAT battles will feature a show which includes one of the biggest acts in musical history; METALLICA, currently marking four decades of playing for millions of fiercely loyal fans the world over.
