In a new episode of ‘The Pat McAfee Show’, the promoter spoke about his gift to Forgeard and the objections he received after it. White said, “You know what? I’m glad you asked me that question. You set this record straight.”

“First of all, all these people on the internet go f**k yourself. … Mind your own f**king business, number one. Number two, you know, if you look at what Kyle and the NELK Boys have done as far as Howler Head and a lot of other things that they’ve done. Those kids have never asked me for anything, ever.”
