Dana White “Killed” the Hulu Deal in Support of Mike Tyson: “Told Them It Was Over”

Mike Tyson has been having issues with Hulu- an American subscription streaming service. Hulu produced a series on Tyson’s life and recently dropped a trailer for the show, which will release on August 25. However, the boxing legend was not happy and accused the Disney-owned platform of trying to cut him off the deal.

As per Mike Tyson, they offered the UFC President millions for the deal, whereas Tyson wasn’t going to get anything. This angered him and he appreciated Dana White turning down the deal.

In a new interview, Dana White spoke about the issue. He said, “So we did a deal or were about to do a deal. We were on the verge of a deal with Hulu to promote this Mike Tyson, unauthorized biography or whatever it is.”

“And 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 you know, do this deal with them.'”

“And he said ‘Dana, they’re f**king me and this all, that’s all I had to hear. I said ‘I’m out then. I won’t, I’ll squash this deal. So I killed the deal, and I told them it was over and that I killed it and we won’t be promoting that show for Hulu and you know. Then he did what he did.”

Several fans were happy with White for supporting his friend.
