Paul vs Diaz: Can Nate Diaz earn more money against Jake Paul than his UFC pay against Conor McGregor?
Paul vs Diaz: Why Diaz’s Potential Payday Falls Short of His Trilogy Fight Against Conor McGregor
It is reported that Diaz, former three-time UFC title challenger, might have missed out on a $12 million payday if he decides to take up a boxing match against the YouTube star turned professional boxer, Jake Paul. Diaz was anticipated to face Conor McGregor in a highly-anticipated trilogy fight, which many predict to be a lucrative opportunity for both fighters.
On the other hand, Boxing has always been a profitable venture for MMA fighters looking to make a crossover. With the recent surge of interest in celebrity boxing matches, the potential for lucrative paydays has only increased. This has been demonstrated by Jake Paul’s rise in the boxing world, as he has made millions from his fights, and also generated significant revenue for the promoters involved.
Unfortunately, when it comes to the potential payday for Nate Diaz in a matchup against Jake Paul, it appears that the numbers will fall short of his trilogy bout against Conor McGregor. While legendary UFC fighter Anderson Silva earned $1.5 million in his fight against Paul, and Paul himself reportedly earned close to $5 million, it is still nowhere near the $12 million Diaz received for his highly anticipated matchup against McGregor.
Additionally, British boxer Tommy Fury earned $5.5 million in his bout against Paul, where Paul earned $9M. So while a fight against Paul may offer Diaz a decent payday, it is unlikely to surpass the earnings he received in his iconic trilogy against McGregor.
