#THE LOX VS DIPSET VERSUS PROFESSIONAL#
Held on the first Tuesday of every month, this will be an unprecedented series of spectacular combat sports and music kicking off Tuesday, August 3 at Madison Square Garden pairing world class professional boxing and an iconic, live Verzuz Rap Battle between DIPSET and THE LOX. New York City (July 14, 2021) Triller Fight Club today announced the lineup of the first of the ‘TrillerVerz’ events. Here is the release sent out by Triller laying out details on the NY show, and some of their stated aims on what they hope to achieve with this play: That being, sometimes coming out of the gate BIG and then downsizing in scope from there isn't signaling weakness, but actually, maybe, strength, because assessing recent performance and pulling back a bit on ambitions suggests that lessons are being learned.

Yeah, Hunter isn't known outside of hardcore circles, and is booked in what should be a squash, and Algieri is 37 and hasn't fought in two years…But this lineup and structure reads arguably as something of an admission by Team Triller.

My guy Abe Gonzalez tells me that the Verzuz Rap Battle will make a sellout of the small room a given, and then it'll be up to the fighters on the Triller card, the Hunters and the Chris Algieri's, to ply their trade in entertaining fashion. That could be a smart adaptation, a shift to more of a structured from-the-ground-up approach to programming. The heavyweight is not a splashy get like Tyson, Jake Paul, or Teofimo Lopez, who was supposed to fight George Kambosos on the third Triller PPV, which got pushed back from it's original date, and then postponed, because COVID infected young Lopez. It's the theater, not the big room, and Hunter is a low-key selling point as main event A side. The social media platform/video-sharing service will offer fight fare and music in a mashup at Madison Square Garden, but it's a step back from the expectations that were attached to the Tyson-palooza gig in Cali, and the Atlanta card/concert which featured a face-slap showdown and SNL's Pete Davidson as a roving emcee on acid lending an air of giddy uncertainty to the proceedings. For the next Triller Fight Club event, the scale will be smaller, but it will still have a certain flavor to it. And they did it smaller, but with heavy irreverence in April, when Jake Paul topped their bill. Triller did it big, with the Mike Tyson v Roy Jones clash last November.
