After the talks went south, producers from Dr. Phil bombarded Evander and his camp with calls begging him to reconsider doing the show.
“The truth is there was no big money deal on the table," the source added. "Evander and his camp were simply trying to rebuild his image after the media fallout from his fight with Candi.
“He’s not the type of guy who likes to feel bullied or intimidated and he felt that was what Dr. Phil was trying to do and that it wouldn’t help his marriage one iota."
For now, the boxing legend is headed to Las Vegas where he will do some promotional work while Candi will head back to Georgia with their children.
