During a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Nick Khan highlighted that the TKO Group had some of the hardest-working people, including CEO Ari Emanuel and Mark Shapiro. He also mentioned Dana White's contribution to UFC and Triple H's creative leadership in WWE.

Khan added that TKO's new boxing company, Zuffa, had a "really strong" executive group as well.

"Ari Emanuel, Mark Shapiro, you know, incredible prowess, not only in deal-making but in business across the board. If you look at the good fortune that we've had in the TKO stock, you know, if you look at that good fortune, it's up into the right, not jinxing anything. You got Dana White. You've got a whole plethora of people at the UFC who work with them. You got Triple H, you got all of our executives at WWE, and you have a really strong executive group at Zuffa," he said.

The WWE President also highlighted that the executives in TKO never complain about being tired of working, which makes TKO Group special.

"You'll never hear us complain about, 'Oh, we're tired. Oh, we have to work so much.' I watched a reality show on Netflix about some other boxing promoter, and all I heard in the show was, 'Oh my god, I'm exhausted. I need to go play golf now.' It's a great hobby for people who do it. But please don't tell me you're exhausted if you're going out to play four [or] five hours of golf... Tell your mama if you're tired. Don't tell me," he added.

Nick Khan says WWE legend John Cena has "GOAT mentality"

During the same interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Nick Khan highlighted that John Cena is one of the hardest-working people in WWE.

Khan added that Cena deserves to be called the Greatest of All Time as he has the "GOAT mentality."

"You talk about people who work their behinds off, who never say that they’re tired: Cena. You know him, you never hear him say, ‘I’m so tired, I can’t believe this, I have to do this or that.’ He just does it. And when you talk about the GOAT [Greatest of All Time], that’s GOAT mentality. He deserves everything that he’s earned in his life, and it’s our honor to help see him out," Khan said.
