However, White is certain about his system and has mostly denied these accusations. He also believes that there’s never gonna be a guy who says I am getting enough money even if he gets paid in millions. “You’re never going to meet that guy. It’s never going to happen.” White said while talking about the fighter pay issue in a recent interview.

“Everybody wants more money. And one of the big problems with boxing too is that all those f**king guys are overpaid. And every time they put on a fight, it’s a going-out-of-business sale. We’re just trying to get as much f****** money as we can from you guys, and then we’re out of here. We’ll see you in three years.” White added.
