Nate Diaz called out for \u201cweaseling out\u201d of $15m MMA fight with Jake Paul YouTube: In Depth\/Instagram: Nate DiazNate Diaz has been accused of \u201cweaseling out\u201d of his MMA fight with Jake Paul, as PFL founder Donn Davis said it could be worth around $15m to the former UFC star. Just before he and Nate Diaz initially signed on to fight each other in the boxing ring, Jake Paul confirmed that he had signed a multi-year deal with PFL to make his MMA debut with them. The YouTuber-turned-boxer then offered Diaz a two-fight deal \u2013 with the first coming in boxing, before a rematch under MMA rules, something the former UFC star would be familiar with. Diaz initially stated that he\u2019d be up for it, however, he changed tact after fight night. Jake went on to defeat Nate by unanimous decision, and while he\u2019s agreed to fight an unnamed opponent in his return to the ring on December 15, he\u2019s continued calling Diaz out for an MMA clash. PFL boss calls out Nate Diaz for \u201cweaseling out\u201d of Jake Paul fight Now, PFL founder Donn Davis has jumped on those callouts, taking a dig at Nate during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. Davis accused Diaz of \u201cweaseling out\u201d of fighting Jake and stated that a fight like that could be staged somewhere like the massive MSG Sphere in Las Vegas, and be Nate\u2019s biggest payday by some distance. \u201cI respect Nate, he\u2019s the people\u2019s champ, he\u2019s a mans man, he\u2019s stand-up as all stand-up, but he said he\u2019d do it in a PFL SmartCage to you two minutes to you (Ariel) after the fight. He\u2019s got a standing offer between $10-15 million and he\u2019s hiding behind a rock,\u201d Davis said. Timestamp of 12:13 The PFL founder was pressed on whether or not he was confident the fight would happen and just reiterated the $10-15 million figure as the \u201cbiggest payday\u201d that Nate could get. Diaz has previously stated he\u2019d like to return to the UFC to make the fight happen, but that\u2019s unlikely to ever happen given Jake\u2019s rivalry with Dana White.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
