“That’s Dana’s own money. It’s personal money. If you want to give 250 racks to his friend, to his, you know, someone he probably looks at more as a son, I don’t see anything wrong with it. I’m not complaining,” he explained.

“I’ve seen some people weren’t too happy about that sh*t too. I don’t know, I’m not really too worried about it. I’m like, it’s whatever. It’s his money. Of course, he has 250,000 extra cash, dollars, laying around.”

“He wants to give it away, give it away. Dana’s the f**king man, I like Dana, you know.”
While the 15-1-0 record holder does not seem to mind White gifting Forgeard a huge amount, several prominent fighters have tweeted about it. This includes bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling, who revealed his birthday in hopes the promoter would send him a gift too.
