“So I figured out what happened. My advisor gave the verbal offer to your manager but after talking to Bear I realized your manager never told you about it because it’s a legit offer and bear said that u said there was no offer…. But I’m cutting out the middle man because this fight is about me and you. Everyone else can fu** off. basically we’re offering you $500,000 to fight at the end of March. Details can be discussed. There is definitely potential to negotiate up to even $1,000,000 and if I have to take some out of my purse to get this done then I will.”
“We have offers out to Bisping, Askren, and another big athlete so time is of the essence. I personally want to fight you the most but if A. you don’t take it right now the odds of us fighting in the future are very slim and B. This obviously is the biggest fight you will most likely ever see, and C. We have other offers out so you need to make a decisions in less than 72 hours otherwise it might fall through..Let me know.”
