Fans soon rushed to the comments section to share their reactions.
One fan wrote:
''Bro, you keep breaking his heart"
Another one stated:
''Either show up or shut up bro''
Others wrote:
''Unfinished business? He has been sorted by Paddy. You and Paddy would bring that Mayweather money your way again. Chandler isn’t worth watching.''
''That would be so funny if he roped Chandler in for another 12-18 months and then bails on the fight again then Chandler would be like 39 and Dana would sign ol Mike to fight the upcoming monster at 155 and he gets KOed again.''
