I reached out to Mike Tyson team and they declined to comment. Here’s the document drafted by Triller CEO Ryan Kavanaugh

What are you guys thoughts on this situation?
It's their historical integrity that moves you?
The only people who don't leave to go to Showtime are fighters under contract with HBO.
Paul jumps to Showtime no matter what Thriller actually is . . I'm not saying you're not correct about Thriller you may well be, but Pual jumping isn't a smoking gun that they are corrupt.
I wonder if this ever gets to before a judge/jury?
It looks to me like their legal complaint is trying to force Tyson into another fight. Don't be surprised if they compromise and Tyson gives them another fight, but not Holyfield.
You're right. I just remember looking into their business dealings outside of boxing and the CEO and didn't really like what I found.
I would think Paul would have more leverage at a Triller versus Showtime to set his own pay/equity arrangement.
I'm also hearing it may be a middleman involved in Tyson's side of things that may have took advantage of Mike. The Roy side just seems like shitty business.
Both Roy and Tyson say they haven't been fully compensated. Mix that with Jake Paul leaving them for Showtime, I will believe the fighters and not some fly by night money grabbing corp.

I thought I heard that RJJ was getting $1M, and hadn't been paid yet.
Roy's issue was that he was unhappy with the terms of the agreement and contemplated pulling out, but he needed the money. His guarantee was 1mil: its been reported he was due some upside as well, but the terms havent been made public and long story short Roy basically only got 1mil on a PPV that made like 80million in revenue.
Roy said that one of the head guys at Triller told him he felt bad that they'd made so much money, and that he was going to talk to everyone and see if they would agree to cut Roy an additional check out all the money they made to "make things right," but they went radio silent after that.
Whole thing rubbed Tyson the wrong way and he said he's not working with them again.
Not sure what is crazier, that Tyson got a $25M guarantee for an exhibition or that Triller probably still made a profit on it.

Regardless, after all the experiences that Tyson had in his career, how is it he still seems to be surrounding himself with dodgy management?
FFS seems the Paul brothers have more professional management than Tyson, what are we doing here?
But what kind of a legit adviser at this point would want to connect himself to Tyson? I wish some advertiser would show big balls and give Tyson an endorsement. Just break all the rules and let Tyson sell something. Maybe a GD ink company (local tattoo artist.)
lol at trusting anything thriller says
have you not seen their C rate production? do you think they are highly organized behind the scenes if their public image is that disorganized and low quality?
they use a stoned snoop dogg as their primary commentator and had a DLH that was so high he had to get pulled from the broadcast last time. Its fuking amateur hour over there, their credibility is shot as far as Im concerned
Also Tyson isnt the only one who has left them. Why do you think Jake paul left them for showtime?
Wait - are you saying there is tape out there of DHL high on air? (SnoopDogg of course lol he doesn't count as a scandal) But DLH, that's almost as good as Broadway Joe drunk on Monday Night Football hitting on the female commentator.

Saw this on tweet with Mike Coppinger, let’s see what Tyson replies with. From the well written email it seems Triller are great Blah Blah Blah. They also expose the fact that Mike might be exploited by those “Middlemen”.
From what have heard in the past, Tyson didn’t think they fulfilled their promise (Payment?) and RJJ concur those same sentiments, I didn’t see Triller addressing RJJ comments.
But if they are claiming Tyson was paid his full 25m then maybe there is another side that Mike doesn’t know in this transaction.

I have not seen any events from Triller. I heard their name a few times. Didn’t know it was that bad. Isn’t López supposed to fight on Thriller? I’m not trusting anything they say I’m just posting their response. The truth will come out in court. These are all just claims, I’m not saying their true.
Interesting post . . . I have an issue with you statng as fact that Tyson's people "lied" to Holyfield. I can see where Holyfield says he had 'issues' with Tyson's people, suggesting that he was willing to negotiate - but that's an after the fact Holyfield talking.
Since the "fight" was a success Holyfield had some egg on his face for not taking the fight so MAYBE he wasn't as cooperative at first as it suggests here.
I am not saying it ain't so but it's not like Mr. Evan Fields is the most honest guy in the sport either.
I would expect had that 'exhibition' gone off Holyfield-Tyson it would quickly have turned into a fight.
Sullivan-Ryan (Paddy) tried that once in New York and couldn't get by the first round before they started pounding one each other and the 'exhibition' was haulted by the police: and they even liked each other.
I don't like the word 'ducked' it gets tossed around too loosely.
I probably should change the word lie. Triller ceo wrote, “or so we were told by your team” which is implying some deception on Tyson part
