Mike Perry Hit With $800K Tax Bill, Says He’s Ready for Prison

Mike Perry, the outspoken face of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), is facing serious financial trouble after being hit with a surprise $800,000 tax bill.

From King of Violence to Tax Turmoil

Inside the ring, Perry has been flawless, boasting a 6-0 BKFC record and earning the symbolic “King of Violence” championship. Outside of competition, however, his career has been marked by controversy. Just last year, he was arrested for DUI shortly after securing the biggest paycheck of his career in a one-sided boxing match against Jake Paul.

Accountant Error Leaves Perry in Debt

According to Perry, his accountant failed to set aside a portion of his Jake Paul purse for taxes. On The Overdogs Podcast, Perry vented his frustration: “They not letting me be rich. They’re like, ‘You thought you was rich? Give us everything you have.’ Somebody dropped the ball!”

He admitted he is considering extreme measures, including selling everything, hiding his money, or even serving prison time to resolve the issue.

Retirement Talk and Future Fights

Perry hinted at retirement but also teased a possible UFC comeback and a gloved boxing match with Nate Diaz. He recently defeated Jeremy Stephens in BKFC, proving his drawing power remains strong.

Request for Presidential Pardon

In a surprising twist, Perry even mentioned appealing to President Donald Trump for a tax pardon. While unlikely, the comment underscores his desperation to find a way out of the financial hole.

What’s Next for Perry

Despite the tax setback, Perry’s fighting career remains lucrative. Analysts suggest he may need to book another high-profile bout to pay down his debt. Fans also hope his Dirty Boxing (DBX) promotion continues, as the events have built a loyal following.

For now, Perry’s future is uncertain. His raw honesty and unpredictable nature continue to make him one of combat sports’ most talked-about figures.
