Trump also makes a lot of money from his speaking engagements, with the biggest reward coming from Triller’s 2021 boxing event. Triller Fight Club came under fire for rule violations and a mismatched match in which Vitor Belfort knocked out Evander Holyfield. Trump served as a color commentator for the event and reportedly received an “exorbitant” sum, which later turned out to be $2.5 million, according to financial disclosures.
Triller defended the payout, aligning it with what celebrity commentators have received and highlighting President Trump’s success in hosting boxing events in the past. However, the Triller event itself performed poorly on pay-per-view, with only 150,000 purchases for him, resulting in financial losses for the company.
While the event had its flaws, Trump’s martial arts ties, including his attendance at UFC 290 and support from UFC president Dana White, are seen as an advantage in his 2024 presidential chances. Participating in non-traditional media and cultural events like UFC fights will allow Trump to reach different audiences beyond traditional political media platforms, according to Republican strategists.
Trump leads the polls for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, but his ties to the martial arts world could influence his future political strategy.
