Drake stakes massive $250k bet on Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz fight Drake \/ MVPDrake has put a massive bet on Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz, with the Canadian-born rapper backing the UFC star to win. Jake Paul and Nate Diaz are finally set to throw down at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on August 5 \u2014 where the YouTuber-turned-boxer will be looking to redeem his name after falling to the hands of Tommy Fury earlier this year. However, while the odds are in his favor, with it being Nate Diaz\u2019s first time in the boxing ring, Drake is backing the UFC star to win, placing a huge bet on the fight. Drake bets $250k for Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul In an August 4 Instagram story, the rapper revealed he\u2019s placed $250k for Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul \u2014 and the return is absolutely massive. \u201cJake is a dog but I can never bet against a Diaz brother that\u2019s just how I was raised,\u201d the story caption read. As aforementioned, it\u2019ll be Diaz\u2019s first stepping into a boxing ring, and despite his 22-13 record in MMA, Jake is still the favorite to win. However, if the UFC star is able to overcome the YouTuber, Drake is expecting $1.4 million in return. However, even KSI, Jake Paul\u2019s biggest rival, is dumbfounded by the bet, claiming in a tweet that Diaz has no chance in the fight. \u201cWhy is Drake tryna lose money?\u201d he wrote. \u201cHate to say it but Nate has no chance. This is his first pro boxing fight\u2026\u201d It isn\u2019t the first time we\u2019ve seen Drizzy bet on a Jake Paul bout. The rapper backed \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 to knock out Tommy Fury in their bout in February.
