tyson

, but

tyson

claims the streaming service stole his life story earlier

this

month

mike

tweeted a quote that someone should be fired from the producers of hulu we lied to my friends saying i supported the unauthorized series about my life now we contacted hulu for a response which

they

rejected and pointed news max to previous comments made by the show runner of the series she said a quote that we just want to tell an unbiased story and have the audience decide what

they

think or feel by challenging what people think

they

know about

Mike

and hoping

they

leave the series with something else to think about if you Like it or hate it Does the story make you question how complicit society is?

That was the intention, that was the north star for the writers room, as we were crafting stories earlier, I sat down with the former heavyweight champion. n
