Tyron Woodley has been open about wanting to fight Georges St-Pierre for years, going back to their UFC days … and even though the guys are no longer with Dana White‘s organization, T-Wood still wants smoke with GSP!
In fact, TMZ Sports was talking to 41-year-old Woodley this week when he revealed that he has not only launched his own fight promotion (more on that coming), but he offered St-Pierre a crapload of money to scrap.
“Like Georges St-Pierre, I offered him a dumb bag, he said ‘No. I’m not in that world anymore,'” Woodley revealed.
Tyron added … “When I say dumb, I’m talking pushing the eight figures, a lot of money.”
Eight figures indicates $10,000,000 … a lot of money by any standard.
GSP last fought in 2017 … when he returned after a four-year layoff to fight Michael Bisping. He won by submission (rear-naked choke) in the third round.
As for the promotion … Tyron says it’s not just about fighting.
“It’s called The Realest International Promotion, TRIP. We’re promoting all things art, we’re not just doing mixed martial arts,” Tyron explained, adding, “We’re doing music, concerts, festivals, cryptocurrency, e-sporting events, boxing, and then we just doing a lot of crossovers.”
There’s a bunch more with Tyron … including the former longtime welterweight champ’s revelation that he, not John Gotti III, was originally scheduled to fight Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition boxing match earlier this year.
