Donald Trump Is Set For ‘Obscene’ Payday For Holyfield-Belfort Commentary Gig
Former United States president, Donald Trump is reportedly set to earn an “obscene” payday for his role as alternate commentator for this weekend’s Triller Fight Club event in Hollywood, Florida — alongside his son, Donald Trump Jr.
Trump, the 45. president of the United States, is set to serve as an alternate commentator for the pay-per-view event, which is set to take place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida — for the Triller Fight Club event, which is headlined by a main event bout between former world champion boxer, Evander Holyfield, and former UFC light heavyweight champion, Vitor Belfort.
According to a report from TMZ this evening per sources, the 75-year-old New York native, Trump is set to receive an “obscene” fight purse from the Ryan Kavanaugh-led Triller Fight Club event, with the report dealing a paycheck in the region of “millions and millions“.
The report also detailed that the promotion is set to provide Trump and his son, Donald Jr. a G-5 private jet in order to attend the event and return to his West Palm Beach residence after the event.
The event is scheduled to feature a headlining bout between former world champion boxer, Holyfield and former UFC 205lbs champion, Belfort — with the former failing to receive a license to compete professionally from the California State Athletic Commission — resulting in the relocating of the event from Los Angeles, California to Hollywood, Florida.
In the co-main event, former UFC middleweight kingpin, Anderson Silva clashes with former UFC light heavyweight kingpin, Tito Ortiz in a professional boxing match.
Silva managed a successful return to the squared circle earlier this summer against former middleweight boxing champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. — taking a decision win in Sinaloa, Mexico — while Ortiz makes his first foray into professional boxing. The pay-per-view event is available for purchase on the streaming platform, FITE TV.
