Jas Mathur describes the situation as a breach of contract and says it is being handled through legal channels.

I do like the finer things in life. I enjoy my cars and my watches but money don't make me, I make money. I don't just keep all the money either, I give back to the less fortunate. My mother don't want for nothing, my loved ones don't want for anything. My team live a pretty good life. They travel the world, stay at five star hotels. But, the most important thing is, we are happy. I was happy before I made money. With or without money I am a happy person.

She's come all the way from the UK, and you're giving her the five-year-old whiskey? She deserves the 10-year!
He knows what he signed.
Dignity. Integrity. That’s what matters.
What we signed is a real fight. I know that he knows what he signed. ... We signed both, and I hope he honors it.
As of right now, we don't actually know where the fight is going to be at. This is not actually a fight, it’s an exhibition, so we're going to do it again and hopefully we'll entertain the people. We’re both winners, it's an exhibition so we’re both winners.
It’s just free fighting, catchweight, everything...
It’s just a little sprain. I’ve got to go hard. It’s the only way I know how to go.
This is what fighters should be thinking right now about me. ‘How can this guy be 60 years old and break all the records?’ They should be disappointed with themselves. They fight once or twice a year. No one knows who they are. They need to have a story behind them. It’s not that they’re getting paid too much, they just don't wanna do it. If you like getting paid a lot of money, why not do that three times a year instead of once? It’s a no-lose situation. It’s all up, all a win. You’re fighting, getting in shape, and getting paid more money than you ever did before. I want to compete against people. I want to know who the biggest draw in the history of the world is. I want to see if anyone is bigger than me. My talent speaks for itself.
