Security footage that went viral showed Summer
Tapasa-Sataraka, 24, battling a man trying to leave the store in
Aiea with a speaker, using her forearms to block the exit and
wrestling the man to the ground before he left empty handed.
"This is Summer. She stopped this punk from getting away with
stealing from Best Buy in Hawaii.
"She got fired for this. Flying her in this weekend and giving
her tickets to the McGregor vs Cowboy fight," White said,
referring to the Jan. 18 bout between Irishman Conor McGregor
and Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone.
"I want her to work for me! Get ready for the best weekend of
your life, Summer."
In a Facebook post last month, Tapasa-Sataraka said she had seen
the man steal from the store before and noticed him trying to
walk away with the same item again.
"I just kept thinking ... not today!!" she wrote about the
confrontation, which has been viewed millions of times online.
She added that she had already informed Best Buy of her plans to
leave the company before the incident and harbored no ill will
toward the electronics retailer.
On Friday, Tapasa-Sataraka reposted White's offer on her
Facebook page and suggested she was thrilled.
