“This story is pure clickbait bullsh*t,” White said in his statement to Hollywood Reporter. “Everything about this story is completely untrue. But of course media doesn’t care about facts, they care about clicks. This is exactly why I always say you can’t believe ANYTHING you read.”
It should be noted that Red Rock is run by Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, who made a few billion dollars by selling UFC back in summer 2016, thanks to the multi-year efforts of White and his team. Whether or not that gives White some leeway when it comes time to pay back the house is unknown, but it certainly can’t hurt.
A loss like this, on the other hand … ouch.
