One fan asked Tyson if he also promoted NFTs and accused him of taking advantage of his fans. Moreover, he also stated that it would be hard for people to support him if he himself indulges in such practices.

Another fan stated that this was the same thing Iron Mike was doing with his NFT project, which he called ‘useless’.

Moreover, another fan asked Tyson to show the same energy with his NFT project, and whether he forgot about the investors of the project. He also asked Tyson to help him with the updates on the project.

Another fan responded to this claim and stated that Tyson was only a tool to promote the initial stage of the project and was not an investor in the project himself. He also deemed the whole thing as a scam.

Furthermore, another fan stated that Tyson had earned his money from promoting it and does not care what happens to the project once he was paid.

Another fan stated that the project was a downright scam and that moving on was the best option.

Lastly, one fan sarcastically stated that one should always get NFT advice from people like Tyson and trust them to make the right choice.

It certainly seems that the fans were not happy about Tyson ranting about him greeting scammed, while, according to the fans, he himself conned thousands of people with his NFT project. The fans feel that it was hypocritical of the former champ to accuse Hulu and had no sympathy for him.
