SportsPro chief executive Nick Meacham sits down with Mahi de Silva, the chief executive of short-form video platform Triller, for the latest episode of the StreamTime Podcast.
In part one, Meacham and SportsPro senior content manager Chris Stone discuss TikTok’s increasingly important role in sport, Viaplay’s recent acquisition of national team soccer rights in the UK and growing sports media revenues in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Then, Meacham asks De Silva why Triller decided to go public, how Triller Fight Club came to be and why the company is betting on combat sports to reach younger audiences. The wide-ranging conversation also covers Triller’s future plans following its recent acquisitions of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and Fite TV.
