Mike Tyson is not happy with Hulu.
The miniseries “MIKE,” based on his life, is scheduled to premiere Aug. 25 on Hulu streaming platforms and Tyson claims he never gave permission for its creation. In a series of tweets, Tyson expressed his disdain and praised UFC president Dana White for declining to be part of it.
The series of tweets drew reactions from many, including UFC star Nate Diaz and WBC head Mauricio Sulaiman.
Praise of UFC president Dana White
Tyson indicated many of his friends and acquaintances were misled into participating. White, however, was not among them – despite what Tyson said Friday was a large sum of cash offered.
“Hulu tried to desperately pay my brother Dana White millions without offering me a dollar to promote their slave master take over story about my life,” Tyson wrote on Twitter. “He turned it down because he honors friendship and treating people with dignity. I’ll never forget what he did for me just like I’ll never forget what Hulu stole from me.”
