Tyson went on to call McGregor an “awesome guy.” The former boxing heavyweight great was in a position where he was suddenly given a ton of money and didn’t know how to handle it. He said it’s an issue that has plagued athletes for years.
“We don’t know how to handle this stuff,” he said. “We got millions of dollars. We never had this. Our families never had this. We’ve never been around this life.
“All of a sudden you start fighting, doing something you love to do, and you do it easily and all of a sudden they give you a lot of money for doing it. But you have no restraint, no control, you don’t know what to do. You give it away. You buy people gifts that don’t deserve gifts. You just don’t know what to do with it. You feel you don’t deserve it.”
