mike tyson is not satisfied with hulu making the film of his life and calls Them a 'slave master'

American former professional boxer Mike Tyson is labeling Hulu as "the streaming version of the slave master" after allegedly stealing his life story for profit without compensating him.

In a series of statements posted on his social media accounts Saturday, Tyson reiterated that he doesn't support Hulu's upcoming limited series chronicling his life inside and outside the ring. "Mike" the series will be premier on August 25.

"Don’t let Hulu fool you. I don’t support their story about my life," Tyson, 56, wrote in a statement posted on Instagram. "It’s not 1822. It’s 2022. They stole my life story and didn’t pay me. To Hulu executives, I’m just a [N-word] they can sell on the auction block."

The former undisputed world heavyweight A.k.a. "The Baddest Man on the Planet", champion, continued to air his grievance on Twitter. He called Hulu's series a "slave master take over story about my life," adding the hashtag "#slaveryisdead" in another tweet.

"Hulu’s model of stealing life rights of celebrities is egregiously greedy," Tyson tweeted. He added: "Hulu stole my story. They’re Goliath and I’m David. Heads will roll for this."

In a separate post, “Iron Mike” thanks UFC honcho Dana White for not helping to promote the Mike series, which premieres August 25 on Hulu.

“Hulu tried to desperately pay my brother [White] millions without offering me a dollar to promote their slave master take over story about my life,” Tyson wrote. “He turned it down because he honors friendship and treating people with dignity. I’ll never forget what he did for me just like I’ll never forget what Hulu stole from me.”

When the first trailer for Mike arrived in July, Hulu called the eight-episode limited series “an unauthorized and no-holds-barred look at the life of Mike Tyson,” suggesting that the boxer had no role in the creative process; Mike was created by the team behind the similarly unofficial Tonya Harding biopic I, Tonya.

“We just wanted to tell an unbiased story and have the audience decide what they think or feel,” showrunner Karen Gist said Thursday at Hulu’s TCA presentation. “Challenging what people think they know about Mike and hoping that they come away from the series with something else to think about. Whether you like him or hate him, does the story make you question how complicit society has been? That was the intention, that was the North Star for the writers’ room as we were crafting stories.”
