    I thought I heard that RJJ was getting $1M, and hadn't been paid yet.

    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.)

      Wouldn't be surprised Frontline swindled Tyson of his proper cut. It's easy to dupe Mike, the last time he was fully sober was 1988.

        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.

          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.

            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 ****ty business.

                Is that like a fake letter? Like, how did Triller not get in fcuking touch with Evander before dropping off $25,000,000 to a stoned out of his mind Mike Tyson?

                This is real?

                This looks like 3rd grade English.

                Again, I mean this is so bad it has to be fake?

                Tyson is high and crying everyday, this is such a weirdo request that nobody would expect Tyson to fulfill.
