What was said
"So I think that's, that's where, that's where the actual problem is, just to be completely transparent. So for me, it doesn't make any sense to, right, go around the bush or whatever and go backwards."
Discussing earlier talks about a UFC fight, Verhoeven says the economics now make a return unlikely, suggesting the pay gap has only widened since his boxing bout. Rogan agrees that the UFC’s pay structure is different and that boxing is more logical for him at this stage.
