Mike Tyson was telling the truth when he said Dana White did him a solid by sticking it to Hulu.
Earlier this week, Tyson blasted Hulu for stealing his life story and praised the UFC president for turning down millions of dollars to promote the unauthorized show based on Tyson’s life.
Hulu stole my story. They’re Goliath and I’m David. Heads will roll for this.

Hulu tried to desperately pay my brother @danawhite millions without offering me a dollar to promote their slave master take over story about my life. He turned it down because he honors friendship and treating people with dignity. I'll never forget what he did for me just like pic.twitter.com/amk65CjtvJ

After the latest episode of Dana White’s Contender Series, Dana spoke about the situation and revealed that he immediately killed the deal after learning that Tyson was unhappy with Hulu.
“We were about to do a deal, or on the verge of a deal with Hulu, to promote this Mike Tyson unauthorized biography or whatever it is,” White said. “Craig Borsari, my head of production, came to me and said, ‘Hey, I’m hearing that Tyson isn’t happy about this thing’. So, I called Mike and I said, ‘We’re in a deal with these guys. We have a verbal to do this deal with them and he said, ‘Dana, they’re f****** me,’ and that’s all I had to hear. I said, ‘I’m out, then. I’ll squash this deal.’ So, I killed the deal and told them it was over, that I killed it, and we won’t be promoting that show for Hulu.”
