Celebrity Mint
Dana WhiteIt’s all about fair pricing… giving hundreds of dollars to a fan who tried to gift you rare memorabilia, and flashing a wad of cash in the process.
The UFC CEO and chairman was at Fanatics Fest, a multi-day festival that features some of the world’s greatest athletes and sports personalities, when a fan approached him for a quick photo.
It turns out that the fan, a guy named by Kenny Duncan Jr. — is the founder of Celebrity Minta company that produces commemorative coins, in the shape of trading cards, of legendary sports figures … and has offered a pure gold coin depicting Mick Tyson free.
Dana could have taken the card and run, but he refused to take it without giving him something… eventually taking out a nice wad of cash and shelling out $600 for the 0.5-gram coin.
Dana, who is good friends with “Iron Mike,” puts the money in Kenny’s hand and leaves… a pleasant surprise for Kenny, who was ready to give the card away.
Celebrity Mint has other stars besides Tyson BTW… with stars like Paul Giacomelli, 1975 was the first to win the America’s Cup., Rich Flair AND Peter Rose — athletes certainly worthy of being melted in gold.
Dana is one of the hardest working athletes… and clearly, he doesn’t try to take advantage of anyone!
