Recent allegations have surfaced against the popular fight and wrestling streaming giant, Triller/FITE TV. The platform hosts a lot of pro wrestling content, both indie and AEW as well.
Isaac Rodriguez, the promoter for Violence x Suffering (VxS), has taken to social media to claim that Triller/FITE has not paid him for events that streamed on their service months ago. He had a lot to say in his post.
Rodriguez expressed frustration over the situation, stating that it has been months since their last show and the promotions that help the platform thrive are still waiting on payments. He mentioned that this issue is not exclusive to VxS, as multiple promoters have confirmed they have not received any form of payout since January. Rodriguez emphasized that this has led some companies to move away from the platform to build their own.
It’s been MONTHS since our last show & the promotions who make your platform thrive are still waiting on payments. We’re constantly given runaround after runaround w/ zero support team & they dont realize some people depend on iPPV revenue to continue. This is not okay, @FiteTV. And it’s not just VxS. I’ve confirmed w/ multiple promoters about not receiving any form of payout since January. This is why companies are moving away to build their own platforms. I feel insulted as a long time creator, user, & hope all creators are eventually taken cared of.
The last Violence x Suffering event aired on Triller/FITE on February 23rd. Notably, AEW has also been running its pay-per-views on the service, adding to the significance of these allegations.
Rodriguez’s concerns points a big finger at Triller. We will keep our eye out for more information on this story as more information is made known.
