O’Malley said, “Obviously Henry’s fucking going to take the money. He’s literally probably made $1 million in his whole career fighting. So yeah, he’s probably broke and needs to get to Russia,”

“When you’re broke and someone offers you $150,000, I bet Henry jumped all over that. I bet he was like ‘I’ll do it for $100,000 and a quesadilla.’”
