Triller bounced back from the Evander Holyfield debacle by scoring a TV winner with their latest edition of TrillerVerz.
Holyfield‘s defeat last week scarred boxing.
This time, Triller merged music and fighting to success with stars from the rap world, in what seems to be a niche that they can build on.
Announcing their ratings from Tuesday’s TrillerVerz II, the event organizers sent out network information.
“Hip Hop fans and Boxing fans were the vast winners this past Tuesday night, September 14, as TrillerVerz II delivered record-breaking numbers of viewership once again.
“With an outstanding five-fight boxing card from the Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, it was followed by a star-studded, celebrity-filled Verzuz Battle between Fat Joe and Ja Rule from the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.
“TrillerVerz truly delivered once again in an unprecedented way.
“With total viewership still being tabulated, TrillerVerz II will exceed the 5,000,000 broadcast views from its debut on August 3, which featured the first LIVE Verzuz Battle between The Lox and Dipset.
“Included among the stars who joined Fat Joe and Ja Rule as they went twenty rounds onstage Tuesday night were Nelly, Ashanti, Remy Ma, Lil Mo, and Vita.
