“Hard to Support You After Doing Something Like That”: Fans Turn on Mike Tyson After NFT “Scam”

Streaming service Hulu’s upcoming biopic on boxing legend Mike Tyson has become a hotbed for controversy. Tyson has accused Hulu of not paying his due for the biopic and claimed that it was made without his permission.

It seemed like Tyson was in his right to accuse the streaming service of conning him. However, fans were not so keen on showing their support to the former heavyweight champion as they called out Tyson for his ‘scams’, focusing mainly on the NFTs he was promoting.

Fans call out Mike Tyson

One fan asked Tyson if he also promoted NFTs and accused him of taking advantage of his fans. Moreover, he also stated that it would be hard for people to support him if he himself indulges in such practices.

Didn’t you promote an NFT Scam to take advantage of all your supporters? Hard to support you after doing something like that.

Another fan stated that this was the same thing Iron Mike was doing with his NFT project, which he called ‘useless’.

Moreover, another fan asked Tyson to show the same energy with his NFT project, and whether he forgot about the investors of the project. He also asked Tyson to help him with the updates on the project.

Another fan responded to this claim and stated that Tyson was only a tool to promote the initial stage of the project and was not an investor in the project himself. He also deemed the whole thing as a scam.

He was only there to sell you the initial NFTs. Of course he’s not going to invest in the “product” once you have. The whole thing is a scam.

Furthermore, another fan stated that Tyson had earned his money from promoting it and does not care what happens to the project once he was paid.

Another fan stated that the project was a downright scam and that moving on was the best option.

Lastly, one fan sarcastically stated that one should always get NFT advice from people like Tyson and trust them to make the right choice.

Damn if you can’t trust Mike Tyson with NFTs who can you trust !?

It certainly seems that the fans were not happy about Tyson ranting about him greeting scammed, while, according to the fans, he himself conned thousands of people with his NFT project. The fans feel that it was hypocritical of the former champ to accuse Hulu and had no sympathy for him.

However, many people have come to Iron Mike’s support, including WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman and UFC star Nate Diaz, who have urged people to boycott the series along with Tyson.
