Fans who wanted to make the last-second purchase of the Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort boxing pay-per-view were welcomed with an ‘unauthorized distribution’ message.
The main card of the Evander Holyfield-Vitor Belfort boxing event held by Triller Fight Club went from odd to problematic after fans who paid for the pay-per-view were welcomed with an “unauthorized distribution of copyright content” message on the Triller live stream.
It is assumed this is due in part to the musical performances in between the fights, including Brazilian artist Anitta.
Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort was temporarily halted due to a technical glitch on the Triller pay-per-view page

If Triller wanted to pull the plug on that horrible Fat Joe/Ja Rule thing, go ahead. But to say that we were somewhat involved in "Unauthorised distribution of copyright content" - get outta here pic.twitter.com/uvgRId6URN

The fights moved forward as planned but the technical glitch has surely put a damper on fans who wanted to watch the fights, including Anderson Silva vs. Tito Ortiz in the co-main event. The Holyfield-Belfort card is under fire after this incident on the live stream page.
