Celebrity Mint
Dana WhiteIt’s all about a fair price… handing over hundreds to a fan who wanted to gift him rare memorabilia – and showing off a wad of cash in the process.
The UFC CEO and president was at Fanatics Fest – a multi-day festival featuring some of the world’s best athletes and sports personalities – when a fan approached him to take a quick photo with him.
It turned out that the fan – a guy named Kenny Duncan Jr. — is the founder of Celebrity Minta company that produces commemorative coins in the form of trading cards featuring legendary sports figures … and he offered a coin made of pure gold with Mike Tyson for free.
Dana could have taken the card and left – but he refused to accept it without giving him a little something… and finally pulled out a thick stack of cash and peeled off $600 to exchange for the 0.5 gram coin.
Dana – who is close friends with “Iron Mike” – hands Kenny the money and sets off… a welcome surprise for Kenny, who was about to give up the card.
Celebrity Mint has other stars in its program besides Tyson … including stars like Jake Paul, Floyd Mayweather, Ric Flair And Peter Rose – Athletes who are certainly worth being cast in gold.
Dana is one of the hardest working guys in the sport…and he’s clearly not trying to take advantage of anyone!
