Boxing Legend Mike Tyson Threatens Hulu For Stealing His Story, Says, Heads Will Roll | Watch Trailer
It is probably no longer news that ‘Mike,’ a series based on former heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, will premiere on Hulu on August 25, with Craig Gillespie directing and Trevante Rhodes staring as Mike Tyson.
However, the project is not without controversy, as the boxer hasn’t provided the media giants with his approval.
But before the imminent release, the legendary boxer expressed his dissatisfaction with the way in which Hulu carried out the production and for not having contacted him to consult about certain aspects of his life.
“Hulu is the streaming version of the slave trade,” Tyson stated on his official Instagram account.
“They stole my story and didn’t pay me. Don’t let Hulu fool you. I don’t support their story about my life.
“It’s not 1822. It’s 2022. They stole my life story and they didn’t pay me. To Hulu executives I’m just a n***** they can sell at auction.”
His anger split over onto Twitter, with Tyson calling out the streaming giants once more.
“Hulu stole my story. They’re Goliath, I’m David. Heads will roll for this. Hulu’s model of stealing celebrities’ life rights is atrociously greedy,” Tyson’s tweet read.
