White: I’d be dead if I had Beiber-money at 19
Dana White: “Not to defend him, but how much money does that kid have? A zillion?…Imagine if you had a zillion dollars when you were 19. I’d be dead already.”
Pop star Justin Beiber was arrested this morning in Miami on suspiscion of DUI, and today while talking to reporters in Chicago, UFC President Dana White commented on the news:
“Not to defend him, but how much money does that kid have? A zillion? White said. Imagine if you had a zillion dollars when you were 19. I’d be dead already.
Bieber surely has enough money to buy a UFC pay-per-view. White got mad at him in July when he asked his 48,000,000 or so Twitter followers to send him the replay of Chris Weidman knocking out Anderson Silva at UFC 162.
PPV Justin, White tweeted back.
Bieber has been a UFC supporter over the years. White said despite the pop star’s zillions of dollars, it’s likely tough to be Bieber, who is in the midst of a pretty epic meltdown.
It’s got to be hard to keep it together, White said. Especially if you don’t have the right people around you, too. I don’t know any of his people or what he’s got going on, but I can imagine. I know what I was like when I was 19 and I was broke. Flat broke. If there were cameras and videos and social media and all that stuff, it’s tough to be those guys.”
