“The problem is anybody offering you 100 million to fight. You’re the draw. You’re the draw,” added Dana White.

Tyson further added, “I’m not even interested in doing the stuff. I’m just fine. If it was back on when it first started, yes, we were both fighting in the same card. We both actively would do it. But it just turned into, it just turned into bad.”
