He said: "The promoter was telling me he had run out of money."
Webb, a former male stripper who has been under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, admitted: "There was a little confusion on broadcast rights."
A periphery figure in American boxing before he persuaded Williams and Tyson to come to Louisville, Webb is no stranger to controversy.
He was scheduled to appear before a Louisville court today for allegedly violating a domestic violence order and threatening the mother of his child.
Webb has pleaded not guilty. He has previous convictions for the assault and "terroristic threatening" of one woman, and for menacing and harassing a second woman.
