The first topic of today's Fight Business Podcast episode is Triller Fight Club and the recent Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren event. The fight card was incredibly popular on social media and on search engines with traffic rivaling January's Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier rematch.

And what about how Paul vs. Askren PPV buys? What are the Triller PPV buy estimates? Auger discusses reports from around the web but mainly references a tweet from John S. Nash who believes the figures are much lower than the vast majority of websites are stating.

Secondly, Auger talks about Endeavor and proof that UFC is now Endeavor's core product. Auger also references an article from The New Yorker titled "Ari Emanuel Takes On The World" in which we learn extra details about the UFC's deal with Abu Dhabi and how Fight Island was created.

Next, it's all about Invicta FC's deal with AXS TV. Auger breaks down everything you need to know about Invicta FC's new landing spot.

And lastly, Auger talks about matchmaker Rich Chou leaving Bellator and what kind of impact this could have for Bellator going forward.
