Wow. I'm hyped. I've gotta give it to Jake as this is no easy fight and might even be tougher than Tommy Fury if I'm being honest.

Since Jake lost against Fury, I'm somehow convinced he really is real and not actually buying the fighters for him to win. But no Tommy rematch when he wanted it after that fight. He is back to beating retired MMA fighters. It's time to make money again for Jake.

Although Nate is 37, the age did make him just lie down. He got the chance to make it in another combat sport.

^ Fury was an actual boxer though. Nate Diaz is not. He’s most skilled in jiu jitsu which he will not be able to use. This is a step back for Jake, but it will be a more entertaining fight. Nate Diaz has so much scar tissue in his face he’s going to be bleeding like a stuck pig by the end of the second round. The pictures will be epic. I’m sure it’ll be the biggest payday of his life too.

This will be a really good fight, the pre match trash talk is going to be equally entertaining. These two dudes certainly know how to get under the skin of their opponent.

Somebody post sportsbet.io odds for the fight when you see them.

Nate Diaz is a tough match but i am not happy with the 185 pound division he is fighting for the event because for the most part Nate Diaz was fighting at 155 pound in the UFC but if it was Nick Diaz then it would be a perfect match up considering the weight division.

True that Nate and Nick are exceptional BJJ experts but they are boxing for a long time and mostly training with elite boxers including Andre Ward and Nate is really durable even though he will be bleeding easily. Nate has a huge fan following and i still feel that UFC did not take full opportunity of his popularity till he faced Conor for the first time.

Nate is good, but he was losing vs McGregor when they were boxing in MMA fights. Usually Diaz was all bloody after that and had to go for the takedown to gain advantage, so he's not a top notch boxer.
Also, he was getting hit by someone who's much shorter than him and Jake is even a bit taller so there won't be any height advantage.
Maybe Jake should try fighting Connor? :D

I don't know who I'd bet on here. Don't like Jake much but Nate wasn't ever a great boxer.

I wish the referee will not stop the fight even if Nate Diaz's eyebrow is open, and is bleeding all over the place.  :D That's his type of game, a pure stand-up face-to-face brawl, and whoever has the hardest chin will win.
I am hyped too as I am a big fan of Nate Diaz and I know he will not be faking anything about this fight even if it's just for entertainment purposes.
We know him as a good crowd-puller so I bet there will also be a lot of fans that cannot wait to see this type of action. He may be better at MMA but his stamina, toughness, and endurance might give him an upper hand and a win in the sport of boxing. We will see.

Paul may come highly prepared even this is just for exhibition only because he lost his last fight from Fury. he wants to gain his supporter's trust on him again. and he's going into MMA now as what he did with boxing. so let's see if he is indeed a good contender in the MMA sports...
as others have been saying, time to make more money again. but at least he got his lesson from Fury.
so far, Paul is the early favourite on this match.

Nate is built for bloody fights, I bet he won't give up even if his nose rolls down. He also wants this fight besides making money, probably he wants to raise the flag of MMA fighters defeated by Paul. But I doubt Nate will win against a young big boy here.

If just for once  Nate throws a big swing down Jake's balls. An intentional one. I think it will be enough even he Nate ends up having a bloody face. That will still be fun for a meme.

People would call it a cherry picked fight :D Because Nate Diaz isnt a striker. Only 5 of his 22 wins he ended with a KO. And his habit to keep hands low, not to go and finish his opponent (but rather slap and smile) will play really bad when Jake hits him. This is gonna be sort of a Jake vs Askren fight, where a almost pro boxer meets a guy who wrestlers most of his career. Dont know why Nate even signed for that fight. Short on money for his own promotion?

But Nate has a good stand up skills, so he might not be or have the boxing skills like Fury, but he could still be a good threat as the fight is going to be boxing. But yeah, two brandish and two loud mouth, what can we ask for more in this fight.

Kudos to Fury for going after Nate Diaz, most likely he was offered millions so it's could be the biggest payday for him and so he can't refuse this fight.
So this is going to be fun and entertaining fight and for sure, there are fans willing to buy this hype.

Nate had good stand up skill against non boxers and at 170lb. But his main skill was to be able to eat a lot of punches and still stand. Against 185lb that will be difficult to use face as a shield and counterstrike. Imho Nate is to clumsy in fighting stance, the amplitude and angles of his strikes were what he was able to surprise his opponents with. To be able to do that against a boxer. I dont think that gonna end well. There is no use speaking about how Nate could KO Jake. His only option is win by points, but does not sound that judges gonna give Nate a win that way.

We're not going to see that stockton slap popularised by the Diaz brothers this time hehe. I've seen some of Nate's fights and I like that he's durable and all but he doesn't have that power to win boxing fights. He looks like a volume puncher but that only becomes effective when his opponents run out of steam. I'm rooting for Jake here and I hope to see some decent odds.

A famous YouTuber/Professional boxer with notable matches versus Professional MMA with good grappling skills and toughness. I think this is really going to be a good fight. I can't wait to see what the odds will be here. I think it's going to be pretty fair. Let's hope for an entertaining fight.

This is cool. Jake Paul will probably question his own fists when the fight happens. The chin of Nate Diaz is so strong that it will bring down your confidence about how strong your punches are. Nate is not the boxer type entirely but I know he could certainly outbox some of the boxers in the industry. Speed doesn't really go that far, power may also be just the same and Nate could train more to enhance in that field. The age difference might be the bigger problem here. It will affect the stamina of Nate especially if he is fighting for 10-12 rounds. End it quick if he can, or score as much as he could at the early rounds.

Is the fist fight this time between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz caused by an argument that occurred in the last few months on social media, if so you have chosen the right bettor if this time Paul and Diaz's boxing was caused by an argument on social media which ended in the ring upcoming fist.

I can't imagine how Diaz will fight Jake next August, because Diaz has been off for a long time in the world of boxing. It's a little stiff for Diaz to face Jake, my analysis, Moreover, yesterday Jake bet 191.5 pounds and plus only lasted 8 rounds, against Diaz, I believe that this time Jake will not give Diaz a chance, I believe many boxing fans have placed bets for Jake this time, even though only in 8 rounds. I have no doubts about Jake, because I often watch ridiculous and brutal acts when he is in the ring.

Nate Diaz claims to be the biggest thing in boxing besides Canelo and he is heading back to claim his UFC belts.  ::)  Dude is beat but still wants to claim belts. He must have smoked a jumbo before this interview.

Though Jake lost against Fury. Jake is bigger and already has boxing experience with KO power. You can't talk your way when you are inside the ring, Nate will be tossed and will drop unconscious.

Yeah just heard recently about this match. Is it exciting? Still a yes because these are two known- fighters on different sports and fields of interest. Who's on advantage? I think it would be still paul. His experience on alonger length of fight would be his biggest advantage over natr who only fought for few rounds in the octagon; we 've seen such thing happened for a couple of times when to fighters came from different comfort zones. Ofcourse if it is power and agressiveness then that would be with nate but that is not something to determine fights in boxing which requires a fighter to move more and do more. A mcgregor vs mayweather scene? Outcome possible but performance? I doubt.

i just visit sportsbet.io and they already have the odds for this fight which is Jake Paul (1.34) Vs Nate Diaz (3.0)

then i visit Stake to compare the odds they have for this fight and they have slightly better Jake Paul (1.35) Vs Nate Diaz (3.1)

Jake Paul 1.36

https://i.imgur.com/qFGEdR0.png

I know about that but when I make the post I only see the numbers listed on the page.
I checked my account and i see that promo too, but sadly i forgot to see it in the bet section.

It's tougher because Nate has a tough chin and is a fierce fighter, he is a puncher and a wrestler Jake may have an edge in boxing skill but this guy is tough as a nut and loves to get hit to get a hit, I rule out Jake knocking out Nate Diaz because he has never been knocked out although he has one loss via TKO against Josh Thomson.
If Jake going to beat Nate he'll have to pour a lot of punches because the guy can take it, and for Nate to beat Jake he has to pressure him and go for his weak spots.

Nothing wrong with 37, still in his prime as far as beating somebody like Jake Paul is concerned.  Nate Diaz will be as capable at 37 maybe more so for the experience over his career in beating somebody relatively loose like Jake Paul.   Really anyone with good practiced technique and at their best fitness should be beating Jake Paul if they really want to, some of these fights they are just collecting a pay packet for turning up on the night.

I already put money on Jake Paul in a bet with a friend who seems to think Nate Diaz is going to be able to jump sports and compete. I personally never considered Nate a striker, so I think he’ll be covered in blood by the end of the night. MMA fight, Nate chokes him out in under a minute. Boxing though? My money is on Jake and it feels safe.

Agreed. Jake Paul certainly knows how to choose his opponents hehe. Nate is a big name in MMA, he knows how box and the fight can certainly end in a technical knockout declared by the referee because of Nate's bleeding scar tissue on his eye brow. Also, has Nate been maintaining his weight before this announcement?

In any case, a shocking ending for this fight will be if Jake knocks out Nate. When was Nate knocked out in MMA? This was 2013 long ago hehehehe.

Yeah, good choice of opponents by Jake, so I guess his streak of beating former MMA fighters are going to continue if he successfully beat Nate hear. Gonna be bloody fight, most likely Nate will get tired in the later round and it will be the perfect time for Jake to score that knockout.

For sure this is going to be an entertaining fight, Nate giving Jake the finger in the ring, and then Jake getting made and just smiling at Nate.

Right now anyone with good physics and skills isnt able to beat Jake Paul, if he is not a professional boxer imho. Jake inst a complete newbie in boxing. Even if he would be slacking during from time to time, have staged fights (I did not claim that his fights were staged, that is just what people say), he has been training boxing for years already. If he isnt a complete trash, he should have gained something from those training. Jake > anybody with good skills and shape. As to Nate - he has been fighting on professional level for 20 years already. His isnt as hard as used to be. Refxles arent as quick as used to be. And he often prefer not to defence his head against strikes :D 37, but chewed by life :D

That is why he picked Nate Diaz because of his strong chin and come forward strategy its great to watch Nate fight because there are no dull minutes, Jake Paul will get his reputation back if he knocks out Nate Diaz, so many MMA fighters failed to knock him out.
Although Jake is the favorite to win the fight, Nate Diaz will have an idea of how to beat Jake Paul based on his last fight against Fury, I expect a lot of trash talks between the two to hype the fight.

He has returned to his well working strategy after failing with a pro boxer - fighting against former UFC fighters :D Jake has started his strategy from very beginning, by fighting a guy whos prime combat sport isnt striking related :D Sort of a Gangsta Ben Askren :D Nate is a big UFC star, perfect match for ticket sales. One thing Jake did not take into account - Nate can have a smoke and start his usual "I dont care" promotion behaviour. So once again Jake will have to be the only one who will be trying to sell tickets and PPV.

^  What are the early odds for the match?  I'm thinking Jake Paul could be line at something like 1.60 and with Diaz at around 2.30 or something.  Not much value for Diaz at that line but if really it's at 1.60 for Paul, I'll take it.  The guy has proven that he has good cardio vs Anderson Silva and could go to deep waters if need be.  And Silva is the better striker than Diaz imho.

Diaz at around 2.80 - 3.00 would be tempting.  And that's prolly the right line.

Good analysis Jake gets better in every fight and they are fighting on Jake's territory which is boxing, Nate is a good competitor but he will be lost when it comes to how to move and compete as a boxer, you cannot do the same stance and movement when you're in boxing because you are limited on your movement.
Jake Paul has developed his ring generalship with his movement and timing, all Jake has to do is hit him with a lot of jabs and do counter and make Nate's face bloodied so the ref or the doctor can interfere to stop the fight.
I doubt if he can knock out Nate because he can take a punch and he has never been knocked out, maybe in this fight he will suffer his first. 

Just like we thought that Anderson Silva can defeat Jake Paul because he already got the experience advantage and probably IQ as well because he's already accustomed to the boxing sport unlike Nate Diaz who haven't have any history professional boxing bouts. But I like the idea that Nate Diaz somehow possess a threat against Jake Paul because the man is not a glass jaw and he's not that slow learner, so maybe he got some decent chances.

Silva is too old and he was slow during the fight against Paul at that time, so that's make Paul can beat Silva. However with the lost on Paul's last fight, we should bet carefully because he's no longer undefeated and lose might be happen in his future fight. Nate Diaz isn't a puncher in MMA and he don't have any boxing fight, I think this should be an easy fight for Paul.

It's too good too see Nate Diaz can win for his first fight in boxing against a boxer which have 7 fights.

According to the previous post above 1.3 to Paul and 3.0 to Diaz but the marker is not accessible anymore on both Stake and Sportsbet that offering early market bet before.

Nate Diaz is known for being tough on MMA but he really sucks on boxing and he will probably not last more than 6 rounds due to his serious problem on bleeding on his face. He is only good on UFC because of  his grappling skills that is useless on boxing. He is already too old on entering new sports for him against a young boxer that specializes on beating veteran MMA fighter.

For me jake Paul will be the best no offend to nate but all I saw is jake if the best for me although nate is very good fighter, tough enough and have a good strategy inside the ring. And this will be a close fight, this will be a battle of tanks Jake Paul is also hard to loss cause what we saw in his past performance he will prove to us that he can win although he loss against fury but one thing for sure now is the time.

 ;D

connor is also the kind of exhibitionist guy who doesn't like to lose, definitely if it were boxing jacke paulo would beat connor, maybe if they fought mma connor would have much more chances of winning and he would, but when it comes to boxing jack has an advantage when fighting mma fighters, maybe because jack has been training a lot in boxing, for me jack should look for experienced boxing fighters if he wants to measure his boxing level but from what I see jack doesn't want to take chances a lot about losing in an overwhelming way so his best strategy is to look for guys who fight mma and were famous and with that he would box against them and win and continue to have a good boxing reputation


in my opinion jack will win this fight, nate hasn't fought outside the UFC for 15 years and this will be his first fight in his boxing career so jack clearly has an advantage in this fight and luckily for jack he is undefeated in fights against mma fighters, all roads lead to jack's victory, but the fight is far from happening, these guys schedule fights for many months later, I keep asking myself why they do that, is it that so many months of preparation are needed for the fight, anyway we will see when the fight happens who will be the winner, I read that they fought a lot on social networks

Either way, we still should be careful especially if we decide to bet on this fight. Who knows, Nate Diaz could probably suit well in this industry and defeating Jake Paul will be a good opportunity for him to have himself a good welcome in this sport that he is now on. Both fighters got a lot of time to prepare, maybe Nate Diaz got some good aces up on his sleeve, anyway, I'm looking forward for a good fight and not just a mere money fight.

Paul for sure wanted to redeem from his last fight, so more then likely, he will come prepared for this fight. that's also a lot of preparation for both camps. so either nate diaz is also prepared or not. based from the early odds, paul is the favourite here making diaz the underdog. paul has a good ko percentage but don't know if he can ko diaz on this match.
maybe few weeks before the fight we will see how prep both camps are. and see the odds if they will change sides or not.

I am not a big fan of boxing compared to MMA fights. So Im only aware of how strong Nate Diaz is when it comes to resisting punches and come backs so i would say that If he can withstand Jake's punches for at least two rounds there is a good chance he could win. Nate is a true warrior in my eyes as I have watched him fight until his last breath in all the fights I have seen. On the other hand I cannot make an accurate judgment about Jake's strength and fighting style since I haven't watched many of his fights except for the last one he lost against Tommy Fury.
If I were to bet on this fight I would take the risk and place my money on Nate Diaz, as the potential returns are much better

Weathering a boxer's punches will seriously not be enough for somebody who have been training all his life about MMA, stamina will be a big factor on this fight if an MMA fighter and a boxer will fight in a ring, surely the advantage will go for the boxer as it's his forte while the MMA fighter will have a lot of trouble because he is not trained to last up to 12 long rounds.

Most of the time, these boxers will just buy some time until they come into the late rounds where the MMA fighter doesn't have enough stamina to keep up with the boxer's punches. MMA fighter's only chance to defeat a boxer inside the ring is to settle the fight as early as they could because the advantage won't on their side once the fight drags longer.

That is actually right. The training and discipline of both sports are entirely different. Boxers will have better stamina and will last longer for the late rounds but MMA fighters will probably have a stronger striking power.  But since Nate Diaz is not really a good boxer but is more trained in BJJ, he probably will have a hard time dealing with Jake Paul. Precision punches will have a better result here than just powerful strikes. I wonder how the camp of Nate Diaz will plan on defeating Jake Paul in this match-up. They have a few months to prepare for this.

But that aint a fully professional fight. There are not going to be 12 rounds. It is going to be 8 round max. And as to stamina, Nate Diaz has experience of fighting 5*5min fights. That is 25 minutes of action. And I dont know what is more exhausting - throwing punches for 8*3min rounds, or trying to throw back a 80kg guy that lays on you, throw punches and try to submit you.

Your post can be applied to heavyweights, guys who fight for air more than against opponents in late rounds, but Jake isnt a heavyweight, not even like a cruiserweight imho. I would not say that stamina is going to be a major factor in this fight. 

I will tail that.
I am a big fan of Nate Diaz in MMA but I also realize he is not the guy who throws a lot of punches, he relies on his strong chin and toughness so he will be like a sandbag here again Jake Paul. "Jabs." That is where Paul will win and the fight goes until round 8, Diaz will probably lose in the score. That's if no one gets knocked out unless Nate will have a chance to land a lucky blow.
I also am doubting the resistance of Diaz in an 8-rounder. He might lack the stamina to go on and will just stand in the ring just to finish the fight.
Plus, Paul will be focused on winning after his recent defeat.

That's what exactly happens when Mcgregor fought Mayweather the lack of stamina, boxers' training is very different they trained to last 10 or 12 rounders and they are good at pacing and reserving their strength Jake already knows how to do this he knows where to pick the round where he will be aggressive and rounds where he will reserve his energy, I don't think Nate can keep with that he should have a strong belly because Jake is going to target that to slow down his movement he cannot rely on kicks or grappling, to stop Jake Paul attack.

well, let's see once inside the ring. but paul seems to have the advantage here. and bookies are already seeing that giving him the favourite on this match. also, paul has the motivation to win on this one because he lost his last fight.
when it comes to nate diaz, for sure he has seen paul's fights already so he knows where and when to attack him. but the stamina, i can give this aspect to paul's advantage.

Isnt every fighter has a motivation to win? :D His motivation would better be to avenge Tommy Fury, than to fight another former UFC fighter aka earning money. His previous fight against Fury sold 775k PPV. Wonder how much gonna be sold against one of the main welterweight stars. Anyway, I foresee a knockout in this fight. Not because of lack of Nates stamina, Jakes boxing skills and lack of same skills from Nate, but because Nate loves to keep his hands low.

I am hyped too, the fight has been anticipated for quite a while and it's nice that it's finally coming. To be honest I wish the fight would have happened sooner, Nate is already 38 who hasn't been so active anymore. The big age difference is definitely an issue but I think Nate will stand his ground. Again it's going to be a boxing match which is a big disadvantage for all the MMA fighters. I thought that Jake Paul was already training Jiu Jitsu and would start competing in the octagon. It's one thing to beat the MMA professionals in boxing and something completely different in a UFC setup. It would be awesome to see a rematch with Anderson Silva in the octagon. But let's focus on the Nate Diaz match first, with - 270 Jake Paul seems to be a strong favourite, at such odds I am going to bet on Nate Diaz.

Jake doesn't have the balls to be in UFC fight. There is just too many attack point to block while in boxing ha don't have to worry that he'd be taken down. The odds will be on Nate if this will be an MMA match.

But Jake prefers boxing since he has the edge and he is also the one organizing his own event. Exhibition matches are kind of bread and butter for Jake which Diaz vs Logan is like one exhibition fight.

I think he has the balls, he just doesn’t have the skills. Boxing is something that is much easier to do when you’ve been staying in good shape. Strength and size goes a long way to make up for lack of technique. MMA, not so much. You need to train multiple fight styles from the time you’re young to be able to compete. It’s a totally different level.

I would have loved to see him fight another boxer and was hoping he'd fight another boxer again, but then again, there is more money coming in when fighting a popular retired MMA fighter than fighting a Boxer who isn't as well-known and as popular as Nate Diaz. that being said, I'm curious who'll win this fight.

here is the odds posted on duelbits, seems like they are the same/similar as other sportsbooks.
https://i.imgur.com/6sxEGYp.jpg

I have a feeling that this is just a hype about Jake Paul but according to the odds they aren't for Jake Paul. It is also interesting though since Nate Diaz wasn't really a boxer but a UFC fighter it could be a big adjustment for him thus I don't count it as an advantage for Paul since I haven't seen him a while if his boxing style is improving. The ring will tell us that during the fight and I'm excited to see how Paul would move inside the ring. I thought this guy would be a meme for boxing but it seems like someone is riding with his career.

I was being serious about expecting Nate Diaz to be absolutely covered in blood during this fight.  If you've watched him fight in the UFC you know that his face is literally so full of scar tissue that one punch sends blood gushing from everywhere.  I literally think that this fight is going to be called early because Nate isn't going to be able to see through all the blood dripping down his face.  I don't think Jake is a better fighter and I'm sure in any other type of fight other than a straight boxing match Nate wins.  However, with those gloves and rules, I'm expecting this fight to be called and Jake given the W.

We all know Diaz isn't got much left to be able to face the Young Jake, plus the fact that he lost to Tommy few weeks ago... Jake can't let in.
I've seen the odds on atleast - three different casinos and either a single point makes the difference. Now someone said something about fighting a retired MMA fighter -- c'monnn, I mean there's no difference there... Fighting a retired MMA fighter doesn't make you an MMA champ dude,... secondly, it doesn't mean you can't pull through too... I understand Jake hasn't got much of an experience just yet - as he's only begining his career... I mean, lol ..this dude's been only an influencer on the net so I'd bet on the old DIAZ... c'monnn

Sandra,🧑‍🦰

Lol, that is true. Nate prefers to block strikes with faces, rather than with gloves or shoulder :D I think we would get an early stoppage due to bruises that is gonna cover Nate eyes, because in boxing we dont often see sea of blood on boxers faces. Either ref stops a fight to let doctors check open wound and try to close it, or between rounds those would are closed. Also it seems that such close to professional fights / semi exhibition does not allow a lot of blood due to young audience (just my assumption).

It is true that Nate Diaz absorbs more strikes with small gloves in MMA and even if you spar with them you tend to get punched in the face as you cannot really block all the punches with the small gloves but they are Boxing with proper bigger gloves and he will be able to defend them and with enough padding and bigger gloves we might not see him bleed like he used to do in MMA.

One thing is certain, Nate Diaz will not gas out like the rest of the MMA fighters and it is difficult to knock him out as he has a strong chin.

We never know their true intentions about this fight but I agree that this is just totally for the sake of money. Maybe Nate gets cannot be rejected the offer with this one and he thinks he won't gonna lose anything if he accepts the offer. I think so too because there are already lots of fighters that fought Jake Paul and their careers and popularity are not affected in any sort of harm. Maybe this is his chance to further expand his popularity and get some more offers after he showed his performance in this fight. I do agree that, whatever the offer was, it surely was for their own advantage.

Nate can say a lot how he does not care about the money, but he aint that stupid and simple like he wants to looks like. Since he is a free agent now, and wants to create his own promotion together with his brother Nick, called Real Fight Inc, he is in need in a lot of money. And that fight could be a good start, good jump for his future promotion. It could be a perfect moment to promote it. Also that fight can be a good soil to make a return to UFC and fight Conor McGregor for third time (this is just my imagination).

I'm sure he will fight another boxer soon and I'm sure the Tommy rematch will happen eventually, but Jake would be wise to take some time off from that and get some training in so he can better himself to try beat Tommy. I think he could beat him but he'll need to get his boxing skills and IQ up otherwise Tommy will just outbox him again. Jake did get a knock-down but it was a light one but I don't think it's off the cards to get a proper KO and Jake probably has more chance of that than Tommy. Tommy will just probably try outbox him again and will know what to expect.

Jake paul vs Nate Diaz Boxing is an absolute no brainer that Jake is gonna take the WIN. We have already seen how most of these MMA fighters are when it coming to boxing, They all like to think they have what it takes to win but when you don't have the fundamentals right you are obviously gonna LOSE and We have already seen it with Jake vs Woodley (Woodley made a fool of himself).

Jake paul is very smart guy though because he tried to put himself against an actual boxer and lost but now he is gone back to fighting old retired MMA fighters but what's gonna be really interesting is The MMA match between Jake vs NATE, Something we have never seen in Entertainment-fight scene before. Since Jake already has the wrestling foundation from school it will be interesting to see how well he handles himself in the Octagon.

Seems like everybody who wanted to bet on this fight are wagering in the side of Jake Paul and I cannot really blame them for that because that is indeed a safer bet compared to a professional MMA fighter who don't have any good experiences in fighting inside the ring and will be his 1st time fighting a professional boxer in a professional boxing match. Furthermore, the advantages are already pointing out towards Jake Paul because this fight will happen inside the boxing ring.

What could I say, good luck with Nate Diaz because even if they still got a few more months to prepare. I don't think that will be enough.

People would definitely choose to bet on Jake Paul because they know that he has a bigger edge in this fight. I'm not underestimating Nate but he really needs to prepare and strengthen his stamina as well as his speed before he faces Jake Paul. It also seems that Jake Paul is also eager to win this match. It will be more exciting if Nate will show off his real capability just to win but it will surely be a big challenge for him.

I can not blame them for looking at the history of Jake Paul fighting a retired MMA fighter for sure they will all scoundrel around Jake Paul well pretty much Ben Askren was the weakest even to Nate Robinson that is an NBA player and AnEsonGib, but apart from that Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva is no joke of a fight for Jake Paul, and going on with it with a KO on Woodley and withstand a punch from Silva is really good enough but for me, Nate Diaz has retired recently and for me, I will never underestimate Nate Diaz that guys will surely brawl anyone even if he got bloodied to death,


This is really imminent seeing how Jake Paul Slay retired MMA fighter and people will surely go towards him and bet a lot of money on Jake Paul for this fight, I will not be so surprised if Jake Paul will is the favorite for this fight and I will not get surprised if Jake Paul would win either, but I will not get surprised as well if Nate Diaz could win this aswell, Pretty much Nate Diaz can surely Brawl even in a bare-knuckle fight so boxing is just a walk in the park to him in my opinion, well anything can surely happen so for Jake Paul I would not underestimate Nate Diaz for this fight,

If it's an exhibition fight I might believe what you said but there are legit promotional sponsors that this fight is going to happen as real fight and not stage. I'm sure there's a real money in it instead of a staged act to fight other and I don't think Diaz would accept such exhibition fight just for the views or money to look like stupid or something on the stage. But who knows though? Even Mayweather did a show in real fights too but of course, no matter what happens he's always the winner. lol

To protect MMA fighters, I am gonna say that Jake had those wins only because his opponents main skills were not striking (except Silva, but he is 48). His opponents were mostly wrestlers that trained striking that was enough for MMA. Take any good current striker, who is about same age as Jake and let them fight. Take a good middleweight fighter and see how he is going to spar against Jake :D

Other than that, just like what you have mentioned, Jake Paul is eager to win this fight because he needed a win to bounce back from that defeat he experienced recently against Tommy Fury. As we can see, Jake Paul is only having a hard time against a boxer and not against an MMA fighter, I know that against Woodley and Silva is not easy but the thing is, he still managed to get a win even if Silva got already had a few decent boxing bouts in his record.

Nate is good, he's not good to underestimate because he will literally charge any opponent without surrendering but this is a boxing fight, therefore, the advantage is not on his side and we should remember that as Nate haven't had any fights in boxing which also suggests that he will really have a hard time in this fight.

I do hope that he'll fight another boxer other than Tommy Fury, and as for Tommy vs jake paul rematch, I think it'll happen too, seeing that I've read an article before that Tommy is interested in fighting Jake Paul again to prove that he can properly beat him.

yep, I agree and it's one of the best strategies there is when fighting someone who has less experience from fighting other boxers.

Now that Jake realizes he can't really win with a real boxer, it may take the time or he will not do it anymore. There is just no money from it. I think Jake has something to pay to Tommy yet, they did have a deal but of course, he may not honor it.

Old boxers I think could be his option, someone that is popular and in their early 50s and almost infirm to secure the win but fighting against retired MMAs is a money maker for him.

He could pick old but still active fighters who has victories over boxing legends. Like Danny Williams (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Williams_(boxer)) for example. Look at his record. Last 5-10 years he is like a punching bag, or promotions bring him on slaughter for their local boxing stars (look at locations were he fought). But, if we examine his record close, we might find a name of Mike Tyson there. Many promotions speculate on that. When they announce Danny or make ads, they stress on that he is among not many who beat Mike Tyson. It will sound cool, Jake Paul vs "a boxer who knocked out Mike Tyson".

I hope Nate's boxing coach and trainers know this, you cannot let your hands down, he is not Mayweather to do this,  but I'm sure during the course of the fight Nate's habit will overcome him, by letting his guard down, this is the common weakness of MMA they let their defends down, they sometimes forget that they are doing boxing, there are so flaws on MMA fighters that real boxers can easily exploit not only stamina but weakness in defense if Nate is going to beat Jake he must have good lateral movements like Fury, who did a lot of movement and use that to caught Jake off guard.

The coach plays huge role in the boxing as like the trainer of the player. Because the coach help the players with his own strategy to the boxers, So boxer will have two different strategy to tackle the game. My opinion is Nate Diaz of this two boxers, every one will had their own strategy but my full support goes to Diaz. It was very eager to see this boxing and can’t wait for it. During the practice match itself Nate had their own strategy and shows his power towards the crowd. Some times MMA had their influence towards the game, MMA was the corrupted one now. If the well talented players losing their game means, the MMA had their black hand in the game. The each matches should be be watched carefully to find any mail practice in the game. If you find any one, kindly report to the press and they will care that things.

It seems that Nate Diaz fought a Jake Paul's lookalike in the streets of New Orleans last night. Even Dana white thought it was the real Jake Paul when he watched the video during a live stream from Adin Ross on Kick, while playing Blackjack at a land-based casino. Nate Diaz chocked the guy until he fell unconscious and heavily dropped onto the ground.

the dude is not even close to looking like jake paul(at least that is how I see it), the only resemblance I see they have is having blonde hair and a similar looking beard. I don't know why, but why do I feel like this fight was just a stunt to garner more attention for the incoming fight? popular fighters like them getting into a fight like this is very risky and could get in a lot of trouble.

We don't know if this was staged or not, or for promotional purposes.
But in any case, they got people talking. That's what they wanted to do here.
The more people getting interested on their fight, the better. As they want more gate tickets to be purchased.
This is an exhibition fight, so they want more sales on this fight. Their pockets will be better if more people will watch their fight.
But they should remember to stay out of trouble, or they will jeopardize their fight if they incur long-lasting injuries.

I thought Jake Paul has a dream and intention to challenge the top contenders in his weight category, he should stop fighting old MMA fighters, it's been proven that MMA fighters are not good in boxing, after the Fury fight he should go for professional fighters, with this fight he is not really serious and he just wants money and attention, because if he is going to challenge an unpopular real boxer, it will not attract ticket sales, so he wants popular MMA fighters because of their followers and media coverage.

No I don't think it was a fake fight because it obviously happened into an open street. And US federal and local laws are very strict for this kind of things usually, Nate Diaz could be prosecuted for that and put into jail along with being condemned to pay a very high fee. In addition the guy really seem to have finished unconscious, and it's hard to fake a thing like that. Nate Diaz is known to be an aggressive and nervous brawler on top of that.

True and I echo you on that statement. Jake Paul can never win against a true boxer and sadly for him, he is just built for the aspiring MMA fighters who would like to test their fate and luck in the boxing industry. He can continue making professional boxing fights that looks like an exhibition fight because that's where he is good at, no need for him to show that he can be different because we already saw his limit against Fury.

But that was his first fight against a real boxer, it will be good if he want to accept fight against a real boxer in the future, losing for few fights will not really harm his career. His fought against Tommy Fury was ended in split decision, it's not unanimous decision or KO'ed which Fury really dominating the fight and toyed Paul.

It was hilarious, according to the tweet it's Logan Paul aka Jake Paul brother. But there was someone said it was Pogan Laul lol.

At this point, he can just continue doing his exhibition fights against famous MMA fighters because that's just how it goes for him and surely he is actually building his own company like the UFC or WWE along the way and we know after he retired from this he will not gonna fight and might use all the money he got from these fights and other stuff to continue staying in this path because this is where he got a lot of money. well, we see how Nate performs on this one and he could be also giving everything he could to be getting some decent offer to pursue his boxing career after this fight.

Jake Paul should fight a real boxer though within his category if he wants to continue this path, but since this has been the trend lately, Jake is trying to fight someone who thinks he can win and have a good deal. This could be a good opportunity as well for Diaz, if he won then that might be the best time for him to pursue his career more in boxing. Hard to pick on this one but I think, Jake Paul is on a good advantage here.

True! Jake still got more time in this lifetime rather than give up already just because of that fight against Fury. The fight is not yet over and I definitely think that he still want to try and test his luck against a real boxer soon enough, but for now, he needed someone to bounce back from that loss and luckily, he found another guy to fight in the ring who just retired in the MMA world and it's Nate Diaz.

Jake is smart in making his business. He will keep trying, he is still young and can beat a lot more retired UFC like Nate. He could be great to just stay fighting YouTubers as well like that Korean who fought PacMan.

This Nate vs Jaake may still not come to materialize though, the schedule is still months away and Diaz still partying and even caught choking someone. Anything can happen yet.

Talking about that,
https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/4/24/23696682/new-orleans-police-nate-diaz-charged-with-second-degree-battery-arrest-warrant-issued

So, yes, there's a possibility that this fight might not happen in August at all because Nate has been charged and arrested after the altercation where he allegedly choked a man named Rodney Peterson. And if ever this case against Nate will cease (I'm already expecting it to happen), we still don't know what will happen next as August is still a long way to go.

That probably shouldn't effect the fight unless he's got a court date or something during the camp. That probably wouldn't matter much either unless it was literally on the day of the fight.

A close call though. The man obviously lost consciousness there, so if he were not to wake up, or break his head on the concrete, we wouldn't be talking about a court date here, but they would've came into Nate's home and dragged him to jail. The man has so much money and fame and he continues to take part in these stupid drunk street brawls.

When stupid people who thinks that they can beat the shit out of professional fighters and then when they get reality check they file complaints expecting a big compensation and these are becoming common and you cannot expect Nate or Nick Diaz to be walking with security guards to get away from hooligans and this is the first time they are facing serious court time and hopefully they will be careful next time.

Nate Diaz really had a troublesome night at that time, even before that incident where he choked that Logan Paul look-a-like, he already had a close encounter while watching a fight with another man whom Nate throws a bottle of water with. I don't know what's up with the people these days because everybody is acting so tough without thinking the situation thoroughly.

Surely Nate Diaz can afford that compensation and will be free man afterwards, on the other hand, that Jake Paul look-a-like will carry the embarrassment of getting choked in the public all through his life which he literally brought that to himself in the first place.

There was never really a real story about what caused the incident. No detailed report was published about what really happened. Too simply minded I  guess Nate just got drunk and saw someone who look like Jake and just jump right into a brawl.

Foreseeing that he may not win against Paul at least right now he already won against the look-a-like. It's said he can freely walk with just a fine of $2000.

Nah mate, you mistook Jake for Logan ;D Nate Diaz will soon face Jake Paul in a boxing fight while Nate's recent confrontation was against a Logan Paul look-a-like. But yes, same thing, Paul Brothers hehe.

And I'm not really surprised when the media only released the footage where Nate choked that look-a-like and never got to the root of the story why Nate did that. I believe there's a story behind it as the video suggests that Nate lost his patience after some few words.

The man that Nate choked is named Rodney Petersen which also got a handful of fan bases in social media mainly in TikTok, and in-fact, people are siding with him because of Nate's unwarranted actions. We don't know what is their story but it seems that people doesn't really care and don't want to know the truth as they just wanted to see Nate Diaz to have a jailtime after the warrant of arrest was issued.

https://i.ibb.co/S7CHHF3/IMG-4258.jpg


The co-main event has been announced. I’m not surprised that Amana Serrano will be fighting on it, I really think this will be a major mismatch.

Serrano beat Hardy really easily 4 years ago so she’s most likely going to be a big favourite here.

We never know, Heather Hardy might have something to surprise the current undisputed champion ;D

But anyway, I guess you're right because Heather didn't have that much improvement after her first bout against Amanda and I don't really think as well that this time she can make any difference at all. Four years is quite a long time and I honestly, didn't see this coming that they will still make a rematch after Amanda defeated Heather unanimously.

So, that means that this bout is almost unstoppable already because the co-event and even the undercards are already set despite Nate Diaz's current predicament and maybe he already made peace with the opposite camp (the man which Nate choked), and gave some reasonable amount of money so that the issue will not be brought to the court as that will put this bout in vain due to the court hearings.

Because he need an adrenaline and enjoy his life, he already bored for traveling, take vacation and have a luxury lifestyle.

It's either mismatch or no choice, because Amanda Serrano almost destroy everyone in featherweight division. I don't want to underestimating Heather Hardy, but she haven't fight for the last 2 years and she's quite old, she's 41 years old now. Her prime was 5-7 years ago, I don't think she can pull an upset against Serrano.

Both fighter is Good and that time before this match happen again is pretty much more so for sure both fighters have trained will and have enough preparation so as I think that this fight will longlast until the end of the last round also this rematch will be more favorable from other gamblers fans so this will be a few days sold out tickets. And also something for sure heather will bring his revenge an anger this time.

Seems like Jake is back in the game of fighting retired boxers and then claiming that it holds some form of credit. I wanna see him fight someone in their prime. Like Gervonta Davis or maybe even someone like Inoue, so we can really see if he's up for the boxing industry or all of this is all smokes and mirrors. Don't get me wrong, I know the guy is good, after all he's getting proper training and coaching from a team that knows how to train boxers, but I just can't take the guy seriously with all these shenanigans he's putting up. I might as well just watch celebrity matches than someone who's trying to make a point but in the process of proving it ends up only failing himself and his fans. With that being said, I don't think I'm gonna watch or bet on this fight, not unless they do something crazy that would be meme-material.

It's impossible to happen but Jake will not last very long if he fights any of them. Jake can not endure the pain when his head clashes with the fist bones of these guys.

Jake I think needs to have a backup plan if fighters could not make it on schedule. Nate is likely inside the prison and so with Hardy quitting before the fight date. A replacement ready on short notice for both in case.

He should because he needed to bounce back from that loss he experienced against a real boxer, Tommy Fury, and even if he continues to do this, the fact will not be removed that his limits and range are just for retired MMA fighters that wanted to test their luck in the boxing ring. Tommy Fury was not even a good boxer, what more if Jake Paul will fight some of them, I bet he will be embarrassed his whole life if he sleeps in the canvass.

These mentioned boxers are pretty much good to test Jake Paul's resistance and ability but unfortunately, both Davis and Inoue are from the lower division which means that these matchups are just impossible to happen because Jake's weight is at cruiserweight already.

If Jake Paul will fight either Tank or Inoue, the odds for Paul is 1.01x in moneyline :D

Both of Tank and Inoue are on a different level than Paul, it's impossible to see that. Jake Paul didn't even beat Tommy Fury in his last fight and you can check on top 10 boxers in Cruiserweight division [1], Jake Paul not yet able to reach it.

His first challenge is need to beat the real professional boxer first regardless the boxer has a bad record or not.

Check out the press conference, starts in 10 minutes (19:00 GMT).

Should be really entertaining, these two aren’t going to be nice and respectful to each other are they :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NeF8Py464g

^  Saw the highlights and the face off.  Dunno maybe it's because I expected more from Diaz but it looks like he doesn't really care about this match.  It's like he's just there, make some sort of show and get his money.

I kinda liked Diaz here if the line is good but looking at it right now, I would't put money in it if it isn't at least 3 - 3.25 or something.

Edit:  It's lined at 3 in Stake.

Jake really doesn't respect Nate, he mentions that Nate is only looking to make money at their fight ^{(Jake is being so childish)}

moreover, it really doesn't make sense hearing how jake paul talked about McGregor not supporting him, MacGregor has the right to support anyone even though Nate once beat McGregor :D

But that's what he's here for, to be on a show that makes money and nothing else. Although of course he could show a greater level of involvement - that would be professional.
By the way, I don't understand very well the balance of forces of the participants here - is Paul the favorite because of his size? It seems to me that Diaz has a good chance anyway, after all he is a professional fighter, even if not a pure boxer.

On the contrary, the two seem mellow, it's a far cry from the Jake Paul - Fury match where there is shouting and cursing going on I think since it's still a few months before the fight they will save this one month before the fight, you cannot stop two people who love to thrash talk.
I'm sure they will hype the fight to get more sales, anyway, I looked at it Jake Paul has the edge they are fighting on Jake Paul territory.
I wonder why Jake continues to fight MMA fighters, boxing organizations are not taking him seriously because he does not want to continue fighting real boxers.

Given how outspoken they both are, they will undoubtedly stir up interest in their forthcoming match by speaking up at news conferences. The game already includes trash-talking, and it's one of their primary methods for grabbing viewers' attention so it is already expected. However, I don't think the fight would be eagerly anticipated given the number of big fights between powerful boxers that will take place this year. Money will undoubtedly be a factor in their fight, so it seems sensible that they are making every effort to promote it. I simply believe that while this match will draw attention, it won't be one of the major events this year.

That's what I heard too, Conner will be the next. But he also said he'd fight Nate again in MMA probably in PFL. Jake vs Nate on PFL is more exciting than this.

If it weren't for Dreck of Better Media (https://twitter.com/SpinninBackfist/status/1656027674014363652) that made Nate mad, I certainly would think Nate had managed his anger issues. But no.  I think Dreck will be choked to death like that Logan lookalike.
Right there and then Jake says he is firing the guy.

That “press conference” was embarrassing. Even Nate was dissing it and left to use the bathroom during it. Probably to get high and make sitting there bearable. I think that people are getting tired of Jake Paul. I think he was exposed during his last fight and his Cinderella story has ended. He might beat Nate only because Nate probably won’t take it seriously. I’m not sure I care anymore.

but shouldn't it be weird that there's a press conference when the fight is more than two months away? too much time left, how can they hold a press conference now? both fighters still have a lot of time to prepare, they can get injured during all this time, so weight that it was a huge exaggeration that they held a press conference so early, it is also unbelievable that both fighters were very calm, neither of them had to leave for physical or verbal aggressiveness, the words were moderate in relation to what has been seen with other fighters

in my opinion both fighters are proceeding with caution so that they don't look too convinced and then lose the fight because that could create a bad image in the eyes of their fans, and that's why they are being very careful, both are analyzing themselves to see who will commit mistake first, being too cocky when there are many months left before the fight takes place is not a good strategy, but nat had some funny things he said

I was getting ready to type all these exact things, couldn't agree more.  I don't know if I was watching Sportscenter or what but I saw them at the weigh in and Jake hitting Nat's hands/arms away and it just looked so fake and douchey and embarrassing.  Like what is this clown show.  I was also thinking the same thing in regards to the Paul brother have without question starting wearing on people, and I think each fight will get less and less interest.  They aren't good enough to fight legit pro-boxers and I don't think either one ever will be...it's a pass for me on their fights going forward.

These still do not make sense to me, there is absolutely no reason to keep this going, I mean just exhibition, I get it, there is no title or anything, I get it alright. But turning boxing into something to have fun vs turning boxing into just a mockery is getting out of hand. If Nate Diaz, even retired and older, can't end up beating the hell out of Jake (and I know Nate was MMA, not boxing) then this is just a ploy to make this go further. I just can't believe that people still keep paying good money to watch these, it should have been over after the first few ones. I can understand celebs vs celebs, but its becoming like celebs vs real fighters and I can't really see this going on much further without turning fighters into mockery, its just not good look at all. Soon plenty will start to think professional fighters are not that big of a deal at all.

Not to mention, that face-off was awkward as hell. I guess this is the way it goes when they talk about the fight being a business scheme where both of them would profit at the end of the day.

I agree with the point you raised- Jake Paul is not that relevant to the point that it would become a massive event unlike before. I guess his era of Cinderella story is over and people are somehow expecting him to just watch an average fight take place against a veteran in this field.

Will you guys watch this match and put your bets on either of the players? If yes, who would you put/bet your money on?

nope, not betting at all. maybe just watch but won't pay for it either. will just watch for free streaming. they are obviously after for the purse split here. nothing much to see. paul's time is almost over. he needs to find another money-making sports.
after this fight, let's see if paul can still get an interesting one. we will see the numbers if he can still attract fans.

jake still wants to make it look like they are seriously going to fight toe to toe. not the typical nate you see. not eagerly wanting to piss jake off with his trash or he'll not get his paycheck.

hype is over for jake. people have seen it all unless he really is seriously going to fight in MMA. he has to cross after this one or just cancel this boxing fight and just do it in the octagon.

Are you really hyped? Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz? I can't take this match seriously and I hate how much effort would Jake Paul put to create this money generating show with Diaz. But there is a thing that I think about, Jake Paul is probably a good candidate to bet multiple bets on in near future, he is going to build a professional career in boxing and MMA in his twenties, this guy is a marketing professional and knows what he does and we all know what he wants.

I would say that after the loss with Fury, he has no way other than to win this match and gain more fame. Nate Diaz doesn't have good statistics, 22 win, 13 lose. I bet all my money on Jake Paul!
Wonder, if his fight against Andrew Tate will see the light :D

It's not that.  Yes they're here for the money but Nate Diaz cared about winning too.  But not in this case, not for this match.  This time it's purely for the money.  He prolly didn't even train that hard.  Just a few sessions with the mits, some running, some cycling and a whole lot of weed and just chilling at home.  Lolol.  And that's why the line is wide...

Diaz could prolly use his cardio to gain an edge but Jake Paul showed he has good cardio too when he fought Anderson Silva.

Undoubtedly, Jake Paul really have an advantage in this fight and boxing ring is his convenient ground whereas Nate Diaz is not that comfortable because he spend almost half his life fighting MMA. The latter may train in the last 2 months or slack on his needed preparation as long as he want but neither mentioned scenario will make his probability to win increase. Nate might've underestimate Jake because he's not that good, to be honest, but comparing these two, Nate will literally have a hard time.

Jake Paul is really over his head at this point, he's just saying nonsense but behind the scenes, he was just so embarrassed after what happened last time where he was defeated by a regular boxer, a true boxer compared to him who's just a mere boxer meant to stop the MMA wanna be boxers and nothing else. And it's not just Nate Diaz who is looking for a payday, even Jake Paul himself is guilty as charge even though he won't admit it. If not, why would he making these pro-box that looks like an exhibition fight.

Or, this is their way to market their fight. I am sure they are receiving statistics on how much money will come in from their pay-per-view and how many already subscribed or bought a reserved spot for their upcoming game. If that is lesser than what they are expecting then they must do something and that includes making a mess in social media to make it look like they hate each other.

Anyway, I think it's working. Just looking at the comment section which is on fire with all the haters and fans of both parties.
This is what Tank Davis and Ryan Garcia did, maybe they had the idea from that.
There is still 3 months before this thing will happen but they are already trying to spark things up. Good strategy.

As long as Jake Paul is able to draw a crowd for his fights he will be putting together fights that the fans wanted to see. Jake knows that Nate Diaz has a huge fan following even though the UFC failed to identify that for the longest time and when they identified his star power they gave him the main event spot and he was able to draw a huge crowd whenever he fights and now Jake is doing the same with this match up.

Jake Paul has a wrestling background and he could transition to MMA but it is highly unlikely he will debut unless his venture into boxing fails to attract a crowd in the upcoming and future bouts.

It does not matter much imho if he has wrestling background if he did not train it since, perhaps school. And I think it was his brother, Logan, who really has a wrestling background, while Jake just trained it. I have geometry background from school, but hell I am gonna help my kid and explain something :D I only remember only simple formulas. I think Jake will be only in boxing, training MMA would be too much for him. Too late to start a successful MMA career.

Obviously just a tune up fight to keep her active for the Taylor rematch that will probably happen next or before the end of the year.


To be honest that's just Nate being Nate. He's never been much of a talker so he's best just to keep his mouth shut in most cases. Just look at the build up to the Diaz v Connor fight; it was all Connor and whenever Nate opened his mouth it was just an embarrassment. If Jake gets through this fight and the PPV numbers do well I think it could be only a matter of time before we see Connor V Jake. Connor just needs to run his UFC contract down and then just do these mega crossover boxing events which is where the money is now.


Yeah. It's a good match up in my opinion. Jake is continuing to grow as a boxer and Nate is one tough guy even on his feet and we've seen time and time again he can take a battering. Probably a wise choice for Jake as Nate has credentials and attracts big PPV numbers but he's not biting off more than he can chew like he perhaps did with Tommy. Jake should take a few tune up fights before going back for the rematch or maybe just forget about that one and keep going down the road to bigger and better opponents.

I would have to agree with this. Jake Paul is actually a good fighter but he’s not as great as Tank and Inoue when it comes to boxing performance. They’re like legends in the ring, and Jake Paul I think is still making his path to get there. However, with this fight with Diaz, this would be an interesting and entertaining fight for everyone. But I must say the advantage to win this fight favors more on Jake Paul as Nate Diaz martial arts skills won’t be enough to beat the crowd’s favorite this time.

This is a question of money, and if you clarify the question of supply and demand. This process has been going on for a long time - first (I'm talking about the sequence that I personally encountered with these phenomena) figure skating appeared where not pros but just famous personalities began to go on the ice, then these exhibition fights, then the football media league. Everything goes to the fact that people are not interested in watching the pros who train like crazy all their lives, but it is interesting to watch the efforts of amateurs (especially if they are celebrities). There is nothing you can do about it - people are willing to pay for it, which means that shows like this will continue and fights are just special cases of one big trend.

Not really possible to happen because first and foremost, Tank is in the lightweight and Inoue is currently in super-bantam while Jake Paul here is in cruiserweight, they can have a street brawl if they want but fighting in the ring even if it's an exhibition fight? That's not happening because of their weight difference. Second, there's no way that either Inoue or Tank will agree to a fight with a nameless Jake Paul and they are quite busy right now to entertain Jake Paul's needs. Just saying :D

Yes, whether we like it or not. The demand is undeniable strong enough to create a hype and eventually a fight because organizers will surely take advantage of it as that literally translates into money. Other than that, there are lots of people who are willing to pay an expensive ticket just to see their idols who are not that known when it comes to professional scene, or they know that it's somehow impossible to see them fighting with the professionals, and exhibition fights are the nearest thing that can happen.

As a reference, Mayweather is the biggest actor in the world of contact sports as he knew exactly how to take advantage of the things that means money in his eyes. Hence why a fight between him and Logan Paul did happen as he practically knew that a YouTuber like Logan does have a huge fan base that are willing to support him in every path that he wanted to take.

Been thinking about this match up...  I'm not sure why a lot of guys think 'Diaz's boxing' is good enough to beat Jake Paul as MMA doesn't really have 'boxing' per se.  It has striking.  And at best, Diaz is not one of the best strikers but prolly a tad over above average and that's being generous.

But if you really think about it Jake Paul has beaten one of MMA's best strikers...  Anderson Silva.  Couple that with the scar tissue and the low motivation, I don't think Diaz sees the whole 8 rounds.  All the value will be in the props once available as I think the books could be anticipating that it goes the distance.

If that is so, this is his chance to show the world how he will perform in a boxing match and it's also his chance to promote himself in his next fight and I'm sure he got a huge amount of money to accept this offer and it would be best to see how he will be against Jake Paul. Since we all know he is not that scary and I think Nate can easily beat him if there is no syndicate happening behind the curtain for this fight because when you see in the terms of experience, Nate is more strong and skill fighter because he already fought a real battle against worthy opponents in the past.

Between the two, Jake is much bigger with boxing experience. If this fight going to last more than 5 rounds, Nate will beg for the fight to be over already or he'd grasp for air like a dog to which Jake will KO him wiht just a jab.

Nate will just allow the referee to count up to 10 once he is down. One could say he is just there for the money. You can tell if you saw the conference.

Nate Diaz cannot make any difference in this industry, he already has his own name written in the MMA. I don't see any reason at all (except money of course) why he would try and face someone in a sport that he holds nothing or any advantage at all because what's there to expect is just an embarrassment from kissing the canvass from an amateur boxer like Jake Paul. Many have tried, yet Nate is still blind about that.

Nah.  I don't Nate Diaz is interested to 'show the world' anything.  He sold out and just wants to get paid enough money to retire and take care of his family.  It's the same with Woodley, Askren and Anderson Silva.  :/  And here's what I'm thinking...  It's gonna be like his bout vs Masvidal for the BMF belt.  At the moment of adversity, he'll just give up, play weak and have the ref stop the fight.  I don't think the match will go past R5.  But that's just me...  If the under props and Paul via finish props have good value, I'll put a little action in them.

I don't see a reason either why that situation you've made will not happen once their fight will begin, I mean, Nate Diaz is already old enough to think for another start in a sport that he has no advantages at all as it's certain enough that boxing is completely a different sport compared to MMA. Plus, I doubt that even he has a positive mind towards boxing, he will still not get past against Jake Paul who is already made a name when it comes to MMA fighters who aspires to be someone in the boxing industry.

The news today is that Nate Diaz was pushing hard for a 10 round fight and finally Jake said OK.  Then Nate reversed his position and says he's fine with a shorter fight.  Not sure what the point of this was, but it seems to me like they rushed into the announcement a little bit and they're still trying to get the details worked out.  I haven't changed my mind though after seeing more footage of Nate boxing.  I think Jake will win and Nate will end the night covered in blood.  If they met outside of a boxing ring though, Nate would choke Jake out in less than a minute and I'd put money on that.

Yeah, don't think either of them are ready for a 10+ rounder yet. I'm not sure that would be in the favour of Diaz either. I don't know whether it would go the distance but I don't think Diaz would win it on points anyway. I'm sure he'll give it a good go but without being able to rely on his MMA skills I think Jake should win this fairly comfortably.

I'm hoping this fight ultimately sets up a fight with Connor. He's probably done in the UFC now. Looks like Dana can't even keep track of him or get him into the ring anytime soon. He still hasn't entered the USADA pool so he won't even be able to fight this year if he doesn't start testing soon. He's also just been accused of another rape in the US. Could just be a shake-down but he should know better by now.

Looks like KSI is probably going to be fighting Tommy Fury soon as well. That should be interesting, especially if he beats Tommy. I don't think he will though. Probably would be the same result as Jake's fight.  

On one hand Diaz is fast, at least he used to be fast. Haven't seen him box but I watched some of his MMA fights. That said, McGregor was outboxing him in his prime, so I don't know...
I remember a few fights where Nate would start standing, trying to box, then get cut fast and start going for takedowns. The problem is this time there will be no going for the legs.

One thing is certain, both these guys are some extreme characters, you either love them or hate them, the way that if they were arguing about some stupid shit I wouldn't know which one to back because they both can act like assholes.

It's like seeing a fight between a snake and an eagle mid-air, which you probably know who got an advantage as it was fought mid-air.

That's just like this match-up, we know that Nate can be very deadly, but this is a different case because the fight will happen inside the boxing ring where Nate's talent cannot be maximized because he is not that accustomed to the sport. So of course, Jake will have an advantage on this and mostly the reason why I'm still inclined to give my vote to Jake Paul even if I know that Nate Diaz will probably give him some difficulties in the ring.

In short, this is fight will belong to Jake Paul and that's without a doubt. It's not that I'm underestimating Nate but it's just hard to vote and bet towards him knowing that he will fight Jake inside the ring where he's not that experienced, he can make a difference in the first few rounds though because in those rounds, he is still fresh and strong but in the longer rounds, Jake will punish him and might KO him too.

There are reports coming from one of Nate's trainers that he is having a hard time with his stamina and this is going to be a big problem, compared to MMA where fighters can wrestle especially if the match is on the mat, it's not possible in boxing you have to phase yourself well, and Jake is so good at phasing himself, he goes to the body at the opening rounds invest a lot in jabs and do counter punches to save energy and hurt his opponent.
I know Jake can and will beat Nate I'm just worried it's not as bad as what he did with Woodley, well we just hope.

No wonder, Paul is the clear favorite of the bookies here so far.
We will know if the odds will change few weeks before the fight.
But if the Diaz couldn't work his stamina, that's for sure will be his biggest challenge here.
Knowing Paul is much younger and more active, Diaz may find it hard to last long in the ring.
Paul is still in great shape so that would help him a lot in conditioning his upcoming fight with Diaz.
But we don't know if Diaz' camp is just saying that he's having hard time, we don't know if this is just their strategy.

I hope its a strategy so Jake will come soft against Nate, but one thing I'm sure of is there will be a lot of blood here because Nate is very prone to cut I have not seen him fight without a cut, his face is always full of blood if he gets cut in the early rounds he'll be in trouble, Jake is so good at exploiting his opponent's weak spot.
Two things will happen here Jake will knock out Nate or the referee will stop the fight due to Nate's bad cut.

That's very possible. Seeing the updates of both, Jake still has the winning advantage. When the fight goes the distance like 3 rounds, Nate will already be gasping and the referee will step in to stop the fight. They'd not wait for the blood to flood. On every sports page I've read, most of the comments say Nate is just not going to make it. They already see Nate will fail the fact that it's not his beloved sport.

If they did a 2 fight contract one in MMA and 1 in boxing, Nate will have a chance in MMA. Jake is also preparing his PFL fights.

I definitely don't think that it will be a reason for Jake Paul to be soft towards Nate Diaz especially now where Jake is looking for something and someone to bounce back after that loss he acquired through Tommy Fury. That said, Jake Paul will give everything he got just to get this fight in his favor, he doesn't have to get the judge's attention because he just have to do what he does best and because this is his sport and not Nate.

We got another tweet from Jake Paul addressing this fight by showing he's training to go 8 rounds.  It feels like after the last disaster of a press conference they really aren't doing much to promote this fight but walk through the motions.  It seems like once this fight fails Jake will try and fight KSI to establish some interest, and there are rumors of him fighting Nate Diaz in the octagon after this boxing match, but we'll see.  I personally think this Paul/Diaz fight is going to do really terrible numbers with the PPV and will probably hurt both fighter's brands.

Jake Paul has had a terrible experience in the ring against competing tough opponents in the past, but this is only the beginning since he still has a long way to go in fighting, and I believe he would establish an established brand for himself. I commuted to Jake Paul's Instagram page and found that he had already posted a video of himself doing some punch throwing fastening and that he was ready to go to round 10. He's definitely the fighter everyone is talking about; he doesn't give up and puts all he has into each fight, which is one of the main reasons he keeps winning and coming back better for every fight.

I don't think this fight will hurt Jake unless he loses, but they haven't really been doing much to promote it. I almost kinda forgot about it to be honest, though there is still two months to go so maybe they will ramp up the promo once it gets closer. KSI will need another fight before he takes on Jake. It looks like KSI is trying to get the Tommy Fury fight done which is a decent step up without much risk to his rep. If he loses then it doesn't matter since Jake already lost so that fight can still happen but if KSI beats him then maybe he might argue he's on a different level to Jake. I don't think KSI beats Tommy though. He's only really fought nobodies so this is his first challenge in my opinion.

What are you talking about? Have you ever seen any of his fights ? Who were his "tough opponents in past" he had troubles with? He had problems only with a young professional boxer. All of his other opponents were either aged, retired or non pro fighters at all.

Imho, any fight that he has wont harm "his brand", as they are only for entertaining. The fact that steps in the ring already make him earn money, so he has no brand harm at all. He can even fight a no-name. Media will hype that anyway and he will get recognitions, rewards or royalties for everything he did in the past. I bet he is having a share of profit from his brothers PRIME drink. So no matter who he fights, he will get some $ for promoting PRIME.

I spent a bit of time watching some of their preparation for the fight. Jake looks like in top shape and ready to rumble at moment's notice while Nate still looks to be getting in shape for an 8-rounder. Respect to his effort in training but Diaz doesn't seem motivated enough to win and just waiting for a good payday.

Nate dont need to train much. He had enough 5*5min fight during UFC and did not looked exhausted. There is no "in share look" for Nate. He never had lots of muscles of was shredded. He was always a tall and clumsy fighter, as he preferred to exhaust his opponent and than choke him. Hard to talk about Nates motivation, because he always looked that he does not care about the fight and result, he just likes to fight.

It appears that it will be 10 rounds. Team Diaz requested to add 2 rounds and Jake Paul said yes. It also appears Jake Paul is not very much concerned about Nate's stamina which might be Nate's only advantage for this fight.

I reckon Jake is a very honorable man for allowing team Diaz's request. Other boxers like Gervonta Davis would force their opponents to surrender their opponents' advantages through their contracts.

I any case, these are good dates for boxing. Fulton vs. Inuoe on July 21, Spence vs. Crawford on July 25 and for the next week it is Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz.

As this fight approaches I’m surprised that Jake Paul seems to be doubling down in his offer to fight Nate in a UFC style match after this fight is over. I wonder if that would remain the case even if Jake lost. While I think Jake is the boxing favorite, Nate’s reach could be a problem the same way Tommy Fury’s was, and if Jake can’t win in boxing, he surely stands no chance in MMA.

This would aid them in better training if they have done the tough work to build more then just impact but fitness and durability I could see that deciding a match.  Anyone can sprint till they run out of breath, more then 10 rounds is a marathon compared to a quick knock out type scenario & the average hot shot will be near jelly by then.  I'd love to see a fight where quality of preparedness, defense, legwork wins for an underdog.

Still too soon to establish this fight that it will indeed happen in the future and on the designated date because even though they have managed to provide some information and some cards under their bout, I still cannot say that it will really happen knowing that both fighters involved in this match is somewhat unpredictable. Also, I don't think that this fight is actually gaining some interests from the public because their bout is not that noisy.

I think it’ll definitely happen. They’ve both put a lot of time and energy into this already and Jake is even already promoting a rematch in the cage with MMA rules after this. It sounds to me like Jake is pretty confident not only that this fight will happen, but that he will win and they will both make so much money that an MMA meetup will be in the cards for them.

Yes, about that, I don't know what Jake ate that day where he decided to have a rematch in the octagon or what because I surely hope that he knows what he is saying and that he is about to face a menace fighter that was born to make a name in the octagon and most probably, Jake Paul will face the most embarrassing moment in his career.

Also, I read something in an article that this bout (boxing fight) the winner will take it all. I mean, I sure do hope that they included that in their contract and not just to hype the fight just like what Jake Paul did when he was about to fight Tommy Fury where he also said the exact same thing.

He already did used this winner take all gimmick with Tommy, it did work somehow but the deal didn't surface, it was just verbal and they forget about it. If Jake fights Nate in the cage after their boxing match, it will be a perfect deal for UFC fighters such as Nate. This clause should have been done to all his fighters from now on so that all won't just be embarrassing moments for UFC. We'll see how Jake will be in the real brawl fight that is close to a street fight.

There is nothing to worry about Nate Diaz and his stamina to fight for 8 rounds as Nate Diaz and Nick Diaz usually train and participate in triathlons and marathons and they will be definitely fit enough to go the distance in Boxing. Money is a big motivator to participate in these events as he knows his value to pull the crowds and he wont be that easy to beat down like the rest of the MMA fighters he faced in the past.

And to make it more solid and believable, they should make it and include it on their contract so that there is actually a fight that will be contested in the octagon in their second encounter. People are not surprised about Jake's antics anymore and he could be saying out of whim without even thinking it thoroughly and that is why they should make this on paper and not just another propaganda to market their first fight.

Actually, it is more likely that Jake gonna beat down Nate, as Nate often neglects defending his face. Check out his post fight (the fights he has lost) pictures. Often his face is bloody. All that fists on the belly level gonna play bad for his on August 5. No matter how good or bad your boxer opponent is, he never forgives such careless behaviour. No doubt that Nate can go 8-10-12 round fight and hope that more muscled Jake would get tired and run out of stamina, but imho, Jake gonna finish him in first half of the fight.

When Jake Paul was still undefeated, I would believe that he is not gonna lose, but since he isn't undefeated now, I think I would go for Nate Diaz although this is not his battlefield because the latter is also strong enough and could give Jake Paul a problem if he could tire him. Maybe the majority of us betting here are going for Jake Paul, but for -360 to win, I don't find it attractive

Nates field is grappling, bjj. That is why he is so relax in the octagon and would rather eat a strike, to get advantage in position and make a submission. But this is boxing. Nate never got heavy hands to knock out people who train martial arts. It is hard him to teach to keep hands at the chin, when whole career he was holding them low. Jake has a loss against a professional boxer, but against people who are not focused on boxing his record is clear. Anyway, just watch some of Nate fights, his fighting manners (lack of proper defence and lots of taunts) gonna play against him in this fight.

I love that Bradley Martin called out Logan Paul for a sparring match at his gym after Logan essentially did the same thing. While Bradley may want to do the fight without cameras, I’d personally love to see them fight on the undercard of this Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz fight. Bradley Martin is a monster and as steroid powered as it gets. Seeing what the human body is capable of in a boxing ring would be entertaining for sure.

Few days until fight and topic is surprisingly silent :D

I hope and predict that Jake Paul would win. Mostly because he brings boxing into masses :D Mainly because he is a kind of a boxing influencer right now, secondly because I want to see UFC president Dana White reaction on a victory. Betting here seems to be easy money. Nate Diaz is not good at boxing and protecting himself. Jake Paul needs a victory after a loss to continue making money.

Looks like they are making a huge amount of money from this fight and it seems like Nate is OK with whatever they asked him as long as it is reasonable and they also pay him reasonable payment. Let's see how will it end because surely what's interesting is how they will gonna fight and show the fans that they are not playing inside the ring. But whatever it is, surely it will never be the same as his last fights because these guys are entertainers and they don't want to bore their spectators with the same scenario as they did before.

I would also be doubling down to bet for Jake actually. Regardless of Nate's reach, all he may be able to do is just a jab that has no substance. For at least 3 rounds, their fight may go like a real pro with exchanges of combos but beyond that, I think Nate will then be exhausted.

Nate is a warrior and will run out of patience when all Jake does is throw jabs. Nate will turn this into a slugfest until he'll be exhausted. He will have no way of fighting back that he'll allow the referee to count 10.

I doubt that a victory will sway the people's view in how he got defeated against Tommy Fury, a true boxer, and not just some random UFC star that wanted to have another money by making some rubbish fight in a ring where they don't have any expertise on it. And if Jake Paul win this fight, which he got a huge chance, it will just prove again that he is only limited to a wanna-be-boxer. Kind of sad but that is the truth.

Here’s the pre fight face to face. I haven’t seen it yet but apparently Nate Diaz just stormed off the stage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSrC3gNHjZA

The press conference later is going to be spicy :D

The fight against Tommy Fury, it was not a one sided slugfest either, it was a split decision and the referee made some stupid decisions as well during the fight and Jake Paul was able to score a knockdown but Tommy Fury landed more punches and hence a fair outcome.

---

The face off between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz just happened and the funny thing is that there was a brawl between the security guards  :D.

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Sa1FEbERTk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Sa1FEbERTk)

i thought i see it coming nate rushing forward to throw a right cross now that he found a reason to thrash jake for insulting conor.
can't hear what they are saying but jake is hiding behind a wall of guards and calls nate pussy while nate forgot his weeds. he focused on that guy in the middle. this is the usual scene on WWE. yay! getting out of UFC pays off still.

Jake Paul is saying that Nate Diaz has accepted his offer to fight a MMA style rematch after this fight. That seems a little strange since this fight hasn’t happened yet, but I get the feeling they both know Jake is going to win. Maybe Nate getting beat up is part of the deal for him to get his $10 million to choke Jake out in the octagon.

Nate Diaz isnt just a random UFC star. In fact, Nate has been fighting for last 20 years and he has been doing it professionally for 16 years. On the other hand we have Jake Paul who has been training boxing for 2-3 years only. Similar refers to other Jakes opponents. Yes they arent as young as he was. But they have much more experience than Jake. I bet none on this forum after several years of training will be able to beat a professional fighter with 10-15 years of experience.

Both Nate and his brother Nick are good in Judo and Jujitsu but this is boxing there's a big difference in both disciplines Jake Paul has proven himself but Nate this is the first time that he will not use his kickboxing and grappling skills and he will rely solely on his boxing skill if he has any, that is why Jake Paul is a heavy favorite here, but if they are going to have a rematch and do it in the octagon definitely Nate will be the heavy favorite.

Let's see after the outcome of this match if the fight is close and goes in favor of Jake Paul there could be an octagon rematch defending on their negotiation and where they are going to make money.

Nate has been acting weird and very quiet during the build up. Not sure why. He's not really doing much to promote the fight, though I suppose him walking out of the promo face-offs got some views so maybe he's taking a different approach to promoting the fight knowing he won't be able to compete with Jake's trash-talk. Jake said Nate is getting PPV points so it's for sure in his interests to promote the fight as much as he can.


I really can't see Jake fighting Nate in MMA. That's just silly on Jake's part. From a recent interview he seems to think that he's too big for Nate so he won't be able to take him down which is obviously where Nate would beat him.

Did they inked that yet? Because there should be some contracts involved if ever a rematch like that will happen as we both know that often times, Jake Paul is just saying things that he doesn't even mean and it's just to hype their fight. Besides, we all both know that he will not last that long inside the octagon against a fighter like Nate who would gladly choke him to death until he taps. It's quite interesting but it's much more interesting if it's already inked.

It could be the other way around because Jake had been training himself with MMA fighters to exactly go beyond boxing as well. They will need that to be written otherwise it will just be hype but once in the cage, Jake will beat his ass before squeezing the life for 2-0.  There is no way Naate is still in good shape by the looks of it, he didn't train seriously, he is just there for the money that Jake will pay him to be whacked.

Nate had to put on some weight so he said most of his training was eating and lifting weights, not even training to box. I only have $20 on Jake at the moment but I feel like I might have to up that a bit before the fight.

As for the MMA matchup, it’s already stalled because they both want the fight to be with their own fighting organization.

Maybe he cant get enough inspiration without weed, and we all know this is not allowed in boxing, but Nate was never good with words  ;D
I dont think he has any chance against Jake Paul in boxing ring and I would not be surprised if this fight ends in first few rounds.
Maybe we see them fighting again in street fights, only than I would put my money on Nate.

My buddy who seemingly gets tickets for every major sports event on this planet is of course at the weigh in / press conference whatever they call this pre-fight ordeal these days (I’m a causal obviously) and just posted this on his instagram feed. Thought I’d share.

https://i.ibb.co/BqBKMd4/IMG-4946.jpg (https://ibb.co/gzJFKHv)

I will probably try and stream the fight (match). I haven’t been paying very close attention to it, but I’m kinda getting intrigued now.


Edit: here’s some video of them clownin with each other  - https://imgur.com/a/MsNOArB

I may try and catch a stream if I don’t go out to watch it. Everything tells me that Jake Paul is going to win this fight but you never know. I think I said early on I thought the fight would be stopped because Nate would be too bloody to see, and I think that’s still a good prediction. I’ll have to check the odds out later and see if it’s worth throwing more than $20 at Jake.

However, the fight might not need 10 rounds hehehe. It might end with a knockout and with older brother Nick carrying little brother Nate on a stretcher hehehe. The stretcher might also be provided by Jake Paul hater, Dana White hehehehe.

Uncle Dana after witnessing Jake Paul knock out Nate in round 1

Drake threw $250,000 on Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul with 4 to 1 odds. I think he’s probably just hoping to get himself a million dollar payout and didn’t see much gain in betting on Jake Paul. While this does make me think maybe Jake isn’t the sure thing I think he is, it’s not enough to get me to follow him. I still say Jake wins by stoppage.

Oh no! I thought Nate Diaz had some chance to beat Jake but now that Drake is betting on Nate, it feels like it's officially over before it even starts … Haha just kidding
Well the odds being very high for Jake indicate how well prepared he is to take his opponent down with the famous KO especially considering that Nate Diaz isn't in his homeland where he typically fights and resist. However though I have a feeling something unexpected might happen tonight and even if Jake wins it will be in the hard way IMO.

well, drake can afford to lose that amount of money in case nate will lose this fight. but if you have your hard-earned money, better not to. unless, you are very sure about your bet here.
but on this fight, i can say, paul is very determined to win this fight as he said, it's a do-or-die. whatever happens on this fight will be the factor to consider on his next steps for his boxing career. i would say, paul will win on this fight. let's see...

We all know that Drake loves to throw money on bets that usually doesn't make sense, because he has the capacity to just bet on whoever he likes at the bout. Jake is a decent boxer. Not particularly good, but can throw some decent punches and has a good stamina. If this fight goes the distance, he'd probably win against Nate. But if Jake couldn't really handle the punches Nate is throwing at him, this is a $1m payout for Drake. Stamina-wise, Jake is the better choice. Though in punching power and overall ability to create space and close it, Nate should do this quite easily.

Well in this case, for the first time I am routing for Drake, haha.
4:1 seems quite high for Nate Diaz, he is definitely able to beat JP. He just needs to watch out for the hard punches. If he controls the tempo and follows his game plan there is a good chance to be victorious.

I just hope it's not a rigged fight. With all these "exhibitions" you never know these days.

Jake Paul is back he won via unanimous decision against Nate Diaz as expected, it's an easy for Jake Paul who shows his boxing experience to beat the hesitant and slow Diaz.

97-92, 98-91, 98-91, we are now going to wait for the result of the KSI -Tommy Fury fight and if Fury wins they can have a rematch.

Jake Paul bounces back from 1st loss with unanimous decision win over Nate Diaz (https://sports.yahoo.com/nate-diaz-vs-jake-paul-live-results-highlights-analysis-202352710.html)

I guess Drake lost some change. Lol.

---

Anyway, congratulations to the people who bet with Jake Paul!

Diaz does look tired in the early rounds; his punches don't seem to hurt Paul, unlike Paul's punches, which are very accurate and powerful. However, I'm surprised that Nate Diaz was able to last the whole rounds and even hurt Paul sometimes, making him tired a bit. But it's not enough, as clearly Paul dominated the fight and even scored 1 knockdown.

Overall, the fight was entertaining. There's no need for a rematch as Nate Diaz looks old, but as a fan, I'm happy to witness the fight, and I'm sure both are happy as they made millions of dollars.

Congratulations to Jake Paul, a good way to bounce back after a loss to Tommy Fury.

Jake Paul wins and beats Nate Diaz. I did not find the match live but watched the highlights here
Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz - FullFight Highlights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsHwkc7C04Y)

Also, I don't think these exhibition matches are rigged because if we think that way, then all the excitement and fun of watching these matches will be gone.  :(

That's what to be expected in this fight, Diaz will come swinging early but this is a boxing match, he will get tired and Paul will take advantage of it. And the scores were just about right, I have it 7 rounds to 3 for Paul, although I didn't bet on this fight.


And with this win, for sure Jake Paul and and his Most Valuable Promotions will continue to seek this fight of fights for Paul, thus making him millions for the brother in every fight. And it is said that second it's the highest recorded gate for a combat sports event at American Airlines Center in history (not sure what the numbers though).

Rigged or not, what's important is the outcome is very entertaining, just like what we witnessed in this particular fight. Nate was hurt badly, but the guy has a huge tank that he was able to last until the final round. This is Jake Paul's territory, although he isn't undefeated anymore, but as a social media personality, he really looks tough and strong as a boxer.

According to reports (I'm not sure if updated), here's how much both boxers will earn.

---

https://thesportsrush.com/ufc-news-jake-paul-vs-nate-diaz-purses-how-much-money-will-the-fighters-make/

If only it was scheduled for a twelve-round party, could Nate Diaz KOed the gassed-out Jake Paul? Yeah, entertaining indeed as everybody expected Paul to demolish/punished Nate but it doesn't happen, turned out that it was Diaz who punished Paul in the last rounds.

I wonder why the camp of Jake Paul is hesitant to fight Salt Papi, the latter has been calling out Paul but not a word from them if they will fight him or not. That could be one interesting fight I think.

That was expected. A boxer beat bjj guy in a fight under boxing rules. Not surprised. But I have expected that Jake would knockout Nate. Now I have hear that Jake offered Nate a fight under MMA rules. That is the fight where Nate could take his revenge and win easily, and both again make easy money.

P.S. Somewhere in closed cries uncle Dana White. Another ufc fight got beaten by blogger  ;D

Funny or not , the event was quite good right ? I mean , yea , sure Diaz was a bit slow and didn't care so much about the fight but overall , the event was good and Paul showed some progress in his boxing skills but also on this cardio.

For bets...Paul had 1.20 odds so why should you have risk it for such low odds ? instead the UD and going all 10 rounds , had 4.20 odds and whoever placed that bet , big congrats!  ;D

Was not interested to bet though, but if the odds for a decision is that huge and someone put a big amount of money, then yeah, big congrats. But I guess boxing fans are slowly going into watching real fights, and this kind of exhibitions might be losing it's trend already.

In any case, for sure there are fans who watch. this fight and maybe think that they got their money's worth or just a die hard fans of both fighters. So another million for Jake Paul for sure, and most likely Nate Diaz too get a huge paycheck.

Props to Nate's toughness as I thought he was going down in round 1. I didn't expect the fight to go to a decision after seeing that to be honest. It's pretty clear that Jake had the better footwork and boxing skills while Nate couldn't really change his MMA fighting style. Nate definitely had his moments and made it difficult for Jake. It's also funny how he tried the choke in the final round hehe.

Good fight overall.

Yeah, Nate has been known to be a tough fighter even when he was still in the UFC. He has also a good standing stance, I mean we have seen him spar with other boxers in the past so we know he can box.

Unfortunately, he needs to train his gas tank as well. Evidently in this fight, he can fight up standing, but overall his stamina is going to be depleted as the fight goes to distance. So yeah, it's a good fight to watch.

He will not achieve anything, in this age it's the time where he need to be a coach, start a business or become an influencer.

I guess scared to lose again? so he's trying to built his reputation again by fighting with an old guy like Nate Diaz. Who next will fight with Jake Paul? maybe Nate Diaz's friend e.g. Tony Ferguson which currently suffering 6 lose streaks in a row.

I would like to see Nata Diaz and Jake Paul in a MMA fight and that will be an interesting encounter. Not a surprising result either as it was not easy to put Nate Diaz down.

Tommy Fury will be winning the fight easily and if Jake Paul is planning to have a rematch, then we might hopefully see that next as there is literally not much competition left for him to attract a huge audience or either Jake Paul needs to challenge Nick Diaz.

I agree with you Nate Diaz spent his life fighting in UFC and MMA style just like his brother, the way he fight in UFC can't be achieved in boxing with different punches and different style of training. While in UFC fighters almost use all their strength to punch and ground fight.
We see that most successful fighters like Khabib he has a different style and won't beat any amateur boxer.
Nate Diaz is so old to start a career in boxing and he is just gathering more money befkre retiring.

Jake Paul proving his critics yet again that he is the real deal and no pushover though not just there for the real shot as he keeps ranting on his social media platforms trying to get a fight with the big names like the likes of Mike Tyson(retired).

Otherwise great fight from Jake with a knockdown to Diaz , am guessing he was out of his element which happens to be UFC and he should stick to that ::)

Doubt Drake lost any actual money. He's sponsored by Stake so they probably just do it for the promo as win or lose it still grabs headlines.


Same. I didn't think Diaz would make it to the end of the second round during the first as he looked shook and very tired, but I don't know how he managed to carry on for the full ten. He was actually landing some decent punches in the later rounds and even upped the intensity. No idea where he got that energy from. At least Jake got a knock down for his highlight reel, otherwise I think that would have been a disappointing fight from Jake overall but I guess Nate really is just a tough guy and everyone underestimated him. I don't think Jake should fight him in MMA. Can't see him winning that to be honest.

Nate lasted to the 10th round though. I thought he would really drop dead in the 5th round but he survived it and still walked straight to Jake always aiming for the headbutt.
I can't believe he wasn't KOed though. I guess betting for Jake by KO is not the best decision after all.

Though we expect Jake to win. Nate still got the respect he deserves for making it to the 10th round. He disappointed the bettors who aim to win big by KO.

Hmm, I don't think JP proved anything. He beat a guy on the scorecard that is from another sport and moved 2 weight classes up to get a pay day, that's it.
Did you see the 2 bodies, JP is much bigger, that's a huge advantage in boxing. In MMA Diaz would kill him in 5 minutes.

In boxing JP didn't know him out in 30 minutes, Diaz was only down once.
In my opinion, if you take all these things in account, Diaz looked better than JP. He performed much better than most people expected him to. And even though he didn't really hit hard punches, JP looked pretty beat at the end.

Well, at least ND got paid, that was his main game plan anyway.  ;D

Exactly, I don't understand why a lot of people think that Jake Paul is a great boxer. He got a good record, but all against people from other sports (mainly UFC); the one real boxer he faced (Tommy Fury), he lost against lol. In the end it is all the money, this fight was not a real boxing fight in my eyes but this is a trend these days that will keep going on as people seem interested in it.

I watched the highlights very late because there was no electricity in my city, but from what I could see of the highlights, it was a fight in which the two fighters were always grabbing each other, and it seemed to me that Nate Diaz was going to go after the Jake Paul with the intention of catching Jake Paul instead of keeping his distance like in normal boxing, because of that it seemed to me that it was a very boring fight and by doing that he just put Jake Paul as a good boxer, because during the fight Jake Paul was fighting in a way without catching the opponent, in my opinion although I only saw the highlights videos

but even so I see Jake Paul having come out of this fight with a deserved victory and if he continues like this then he can certainly still beat other strong boxers, but the question will be if he and his team will challenge the good boxers and take the risk of Jake Paul losing by a knockout and in the first rounds of the fight or Jake Paul and his team will be chasing fighters who are not at the top and who aren't very strong because with that the real chances of Jake Paul winning will be very high and he won't he will run great risks of losing by knockout and thereby ruining his reputation

because in my opinion a loss of Jake Paul by knockout in the first rounds would spoil his reputation and make future fights unfeasible, that would not be good in financial terms, we will see what Jake Paul's next fight will be, if he will choose a strong opponent or a bit strong opponent as he has chosen, I laughed with a comment from someone on youtube because he said that Jake Paul only beats old and retired people, but for me some people are underestimating Jake Paul and don't want to see that he is strong and wins on merit

I watched the fight last night and I thought Nate easily could have been given the win at certain points.  I missed some of the earlier rounds but he did more then a decent performance and defense during the fight.   Somebody I was watching with has trained as a boxer and done some fights non professionally and said Jake Paul had the win before the end for more consistent performance but to me it was a close thing.  I believe Jake Paul loses the MMA rematch personally his advantage will be gone when not on home tough as it were :)

During Nate's prime days, he and his brothers claimed to be trained in boxing but it somehow shows it's not true after this fight. It was not pleasant to watch there is no show of footwork or combos. I think Rogan overhyped Nate. Although I'm betting for JP to win, I'm still expecting Nate to show dodging and throw technical counters. But it's all just slugging, the only I could credit is that he has a hard chin to keep charging despite knowing he'd be battered again.

I actually agree with both of you. So far what we have seen from Jake Paul, we cannot declare that he is a good fighter. I know he is working hard and I know that one day he desires to be a good boxer. But it is not going to be done by beating old dudes. And of course it has to be done under some certain rules. One guy just cannot be lower in weight and the other looking like a balloon.

But at the same time, I will give this to Jake Paul, he does know how to punch. And again these fights are not going to bring him the popularity that he actually wants in my opinion.

Can remember the Adin Ross podcast? Where Andrew Tate and Jake Paul were talking about fighting? I think that is going to be the money fight for Jake Paul. That is going to be the fight that almost everybody is going to want to watch.

That fight was pretty much exactly what I thought it was going to be. Nate Diaz is a pretty terrible boxer and that was very clear after the first round. The only thing that really surprised me about the fight was that Jake Paul wasn’t able to cut Nate Diaz. I thought for sure that there would be lots of blood. I guess now we wait for Nate to get his revenge in MMA with a quick chokehold.

Diaz looked really sloppy and extremely slow and yet managed to win a few rounds on the scorecards. Jake Paul only proved how mediocre he really is. After almost 4 years of warm up fights it’s time for him to step up his level of competition. He couldn’t even beat Tommy Fury who isn’t a serious boxer so I am not sure what he can accomplish. Perhaps switching to MMA is how he keeps the cash cow going. I’m sure he’ll follow the same blueprint of only fighting washed up old men from lower weight classes.

They have yet not reached that discussion AFAIK. Although Jake had been training with UFC fighters, it could just be for Nate to hope he can get even. In boxing JP couldn't KO Diaz but in UFC cage, JP will definitely find himself in trouble when he is not in a real MMA fight and being taken down. That is Nate's world already and JP wouldn't put himself in such a situation. And so the reason why it's not in a contract. Nate may be old for boxing but in UFC fight, Nate has more experience. I doubt Jake will agree to fight.

In line with the discussion above, it was already expected that Nate Diaz will get defeated in this fight and he just have no chance at all because aside from the fact that he is not a real boxer, he also doesn't have any knockout power to gain an advantage towards Jake Paul. Which is also the reason why Jake is not that cautious because he knew that he could take and shake Nate's punches.

Now for their rematch, no need to be hyped by it because there is a chance that both of them just said that just to hype their first fight and to get the people's attention to make them watch their first fight to see some comparison aside from seeing a boxer and an MMA fighter in the ring. The fact that it wasn't inked makes it more difficult to expect.

I don't understand why you say that Jake Paul will refuse that while according to what I read he has himself propose the deal to Nate Diaz, in addition he has already signed a contract with the PFL organization to make MMA fights. So I really think he will do it in the coming months or very few years. He will maybe fight one or two other opponents to begin, before facing Nate Diaz but he will definitely do it because I don't think he runs behind glory and victories, but just behind money. When his brother Logan Paul dared to face Mayweather it wasn't to try to beat obviously.  

These 2 brothers are really up to their game so long they are seeing potential money making fights.
But I believe Paul will be very cautious as he wants to maintain his winning status after Nate's wins.
So yes, he may be facing opponents in MMA before facing again Nate Diaz. He will continue chasing potential boxers or MMA fighters,
so long he is seeing he has some sort of following on these sports, because that means, he will be earning more.
Actually, more than what most professional boxers are earning. So I don't think he will stop anytime soon trying to figure out who's next on his list.

Diaz is a grappler, it only makes sense to stick to his style and retain grabbing habits since he's an MMA fighter, not a boxer. Jake is a stupid fuck who stalled for time by clinching on Nate the whole while and only landing punches when it goes his way. Doesn't make sense for him to get a unanimous vote in my opinion since there's no fight to be had when all you do is grab the enemy and punch him every now and again. Some may argue it's strategy but I say it's a dirty tactic.

Sad that Nate lost this fight but this doesn't prove anything in Jake Paul's way. First off this is a celebrity showmatch, Secondly this wasn't even in Nate's way, put him in the octagon with Jake and watch as he obliterates the ever living shit out of his smug face.

I am not a boxing critic neither watch the sport all that much so what I am going to say about this match would be a total useless junk. However, I would like to ask one question, it looks like Jake managed to knockdown Nate once, and for all the rest of the fight it looked like Nate was having a blast and easily hitting his punches and doing all the right things. Is one knockdown more important in boxing than all the higher amount of shots and better landing? If so then there was one knockdown so the winner makes sense. I am not going to say "Nate came from another sport", nate is a fighter, no matter what he fought in, Jake was a youtuber, I would never take his fights seriously, but we can easily say that Jake deserved this win, I do not think there are many YouTubers out there who would be able to become a boxer that boxes better than an UFC grappler.

Never ever consider out that MMA fighters could really be able to beat out the shit of a pure boxer specially when it comes to boxing rules then it would really be just that common sense on whose gonna win on the fight.

If we do speak about stamina then boxers are really having the advantage compared to those MMA fighters. I doubt that there would be some rematch in octagon on which it cant really be possible but well it would really be depending on the negotiation in between parties if this one really let to happen. It is true that this is really just that a celebrity showmatch on which there's no way that this could really be taken up seriously.
Everything is for the sake of money just like with those other similar matches. As long it would really be hyped up then it wont really be that something new that they are the ones who do purse out
some good cash.  :D

Much longer fight than I expected and maybe this was strategy used by both fighters.
Now I see Jake Paul saying he seriously wants to transition to MMA, and Nate Diaz is asking for MMA rematch.
This sounds to me like to much coincidence, but I would give advantage to Nate Diaz in potential MMA fight.
After thar I think it is time for him to finally retire, he is getting older, his face is already ruined, and I wont say anything about his brain.

Nate will have an edge if Jake Paul agrees to an MMA match he has Juijitsu and grappling skills something that will surprise Jake, its better if Jake agrees to do an MMA once so he'll know if he has a chance in MMA against a real MMA fighter people will soon get enough to see him fight old MMA fighters, he'll have to do transition to other combat sports or starts fighting real boxers, he is getting better in boxing we may soon find him in the top 10.

i agree that before he fights with nate via MMA route, he needs to fight first a lesser known MMA fighter to gauge where he is at MMA arena. he may have beaten Nate in boxing, but with MMA rules, he might find it difficult.
but anyway, Paul's win over Nate will give him more confidence to look for other fighters, because for sure when he lost to Fury, it gave a setback on his career. hence, his determination to win on this recent match.

Seems like it is. There doesn't seem to be any indication that Nate tried to win. Nevertheless, two different fighting disciplines, two different techniques. Jake is the better boxer, but that doesn't mean he's the better fighter. Unanimous decision means that Nate is ready to take the hits, and he's just not really that trained so much in boxing.

I feel sorry for Drake, but what's $250,000 for a multi-millionaire anyway?


If Jake transitioned into MMA, he'd be surprised on how well even the leanest fighters can hold and grapple against huge guys. I've seen Asian guys grappled the hell out of muscular men lots of times to the point of submission, and Jake would not be ready to be in that field unless he dedicates the next year or so of his life in purely practicing grappling and getting out of it.

That's a different field for Jake Paul; he'll not excel in kickboxing as what he trained well is on boxing. If we have noticed, he is also very keen on choosing his opponents, that's why he maintains a good record. So it's a big risk for him if he'll go for UFC where he does not have the advantage.

It's enough that we witnessed Jake Paul from being a social media influencer to now a pro boxer, and we have enjoyed most of his fights if not all.

Just imagine, when a popular fighter retires or stops in UFC because of injury or they are aging, they still have another opportunity to make big money in boxing. The good news is that they can even make bigger money compared to what they earn in UFC.

This is the silver lining that I see in these otherwise boring fights. If you have made a big name in the UFC but you were kicked out and you still want to make more money because you earned much less when you were there, it is an option to shift to boxing and fight some businessmen like the Paul brothers. You don't even need to know how to box like Nate. Aside from your name, you just have to appear very eager to break your opponent's face, throw those awkward punches, showboat a little, taunt your opponent, and that's it. You will make good money.

While it is good that Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz got paydays, I’m not sure how much longer this influencer boxing thing has. Jake’s fights are getting less and less spectacular, and to be honest his last three fights haven’t been worth watching as we didn’t get to see the KO’s we were hoping for. I’m not sure if there’s even another big fight to be had. Andrew Tate or KSI maybe.

It would be advantageous for the UFC fighters not to renew their contract while they are a champ in their division because like Ngannou they may have a lose-lose contract from PFL that they can also do boxing while also having a MMA career in PFL. Nate is a retired fighter, he's lucky to have caught the attention of JP that Jake was interested to fight the legendary UFC fighters.

If Jake or the PFL will not be interested in a retired UFC fighter, it's the end of him so there's still a risk to this. Derrick Lewis seems to fall into this category.

There will always be big names who are willing to shame themselves for a significant paycheck. Diaz was all too willing to look like a prep who was just more of slapping than boxing for half a million dollars.

Jake's fights were never really amazing. Of course he can throw a punch, and sometimes he knocks out his old opponents who are also not really boxers themselves. But the level of promotion looks way too high for this kind of matches. But what can we do right? There are many fans who love this kind of thing.

KSI could be next if he won his fight against Fury. Tate is still under house arrest so not a possibility.

But Jake says that his stamina is getting better as he has more fight. Obviously, his body is getting used to it. However, if he faces like a former boxer and not ex MMA, it could be a different story just like what happen to the Tommy Fury fight.

And on the other hand, Nate Diaz says that he loves another crack of this exhibitions match.

Admit it or not, he did good against Paul and then the smell of money could entice Nate to comeback and fight again in Paul's platform, who knows.

He did well in surviving, but it was a one-sided beatdown. What would the fans expect in a rematch? Of course, they will think that Jake Paul will win again easily, and that is not fun to watch anymore. So I guess maybe it's time for Jake Paul now to fight a former boxer that could potentially give him a problem, maybe an old boxer but a popular one back in the days, as that is another good recipe for easy money while Jake Paul's health will be secured.

I think there's still plenty of time; we might see him fight again this year, and we all know that once Jake announces a fight, he will always make sure that it will attract the attention of the fans. How about Jake Paul vs Mayweather? Is it possible?

It is because he trains regularly. He isnt furry and fluffy kid in a gym anymore. In fact he is on a good level. He is not afraid to challenge more experienced guys. As to Tommy Fury, dont forget that Jake went full distance with him and managed to land few good punches. That is against a pro boxer. And lets not forget that Jake so far does not have a long amateur career like lots of professional boxers. If he had 30-50 amateur fights, like most professionals have, it would be a completely different fight against Tommy.

Jake also managed to knock down Fury, and the decision was close as it's a split decision. So, in order to see a more entertaining and unpredictable fight outcome, I think both need to have a rematch. Who knows, Jake would be able to win the rematch, and then I'm sure a trilogy will result in more excitement, which is beneficial for both since it will attract more money.

What's next for Jake Paul?

According to the article below, the names that came out are;

https://www.sportingnews.com/us/boxing/news/jake-paul-tommy-fury-rematch-ksi-mma-youtuber-nate-diaz/yl2ijmsrtugvf5rhogryuemg

He just wanted to be a pure boxer, that's it, and making this exhibitions fight, makes his dream come true. So he trains as full pledge boxer and with that, he trains regularly and then improved everything. Not sure though if he is natural or not (but that is for another discussion).

As for as his next options goes, I like the rematch with Fury, for sure there is no love lost between the two and Jake wanted to avenge his lost. And next maybe KSI, another Youtuber if I'm not mistaken who started to come and be in this exhibition matches. In any case, both of this fights will bring millions again on the pocket of Jake Paul making him one of the best money maker in the last couple of years.

That would be an interesting fight because if he gonna challenge an ex-UFC fighter again, the result would be just obvious like before. now he really needs to fight some celebrities like him that can really fight for real that have the same popularity as him. I know there are lots of candidates out there but this guy always chooses to have some scripted fight. he already showed some great skills in his recent fight he really needs to show to the public that he is improving and can be one of the known boxers of his era.

Still, it's a business for the both of them and it will all be good if there will be some people that will watch the fight, doesn't matter if the results were already predetermined even before the fight, like in this bout. Nate is a grappler and not those kind of UFC stars which pack a good power in their punches, and so that is his downside that is why his chances were never that great against Jake Paul who already knows a thing or two about the sports.

Aside from that, transitioning from boxing to MMA or MMA to boxing will just be a one-time thing specially if they lost their debut because people will not be interested in the same participants anymore as they already see their limits.

Same results, specially against a celebrities that is not into sports. He beats a lot of former UFC fighter, who trains their life in that discipline, so what more if it is a celebrities that  doesn't have training experience.

So a rematch with Fury will be great, that fight has a lot of dramas and delay and Jake Paul portray as if Fury is afraid of him. But he was beaten soundly when they fought. Time for him to avenge that defeat and make another good story line so that fans are going to buy their tickets.

This would be his best move for Lewis to make. There was Ngannou and Diaz both talking about PFL during this event of course.
Didn't you hear at the end of the fight with Diaz where they were discussing about having an MMA style fight next?
Paul wants it to be in the PFL where Ngannou is fighting so to not have Dana White and the UFC involved at all and since he has already retired from the UFC.

Once he lost that match against Fury people really began thinking that is it he can't really beat a real boxer.
When he started knocking people out then the boxing legacy hardcore fans began to notice this guy is dedicated to their craft and not just some flash in the pan which will die away in a couple of years.
From the recent film on netflix which I just watched, the Paul brothers started this back in 2018 right?
So this has been going on for five years if not longer so I can see this going on until he has gone through the gambit of fighters and then their rematches as he has talked about against KSI then possibly his own brother Logan.

 f
Jake Paul might have some talent but do we not overrate him? He challenges his more experienced guys, but not in the boxing field. His loss against Tommy Fury was a split decision, but Tommy Fury also only have 9 fights and 12 amateur fights. No discredit to Fury also as he is undefeated but also not really experienced; I would like to see Paul box against a real experienced boxer with a good record and then we can really talk.
On a side note: I saw the match of Logan Paul vs Seth Rollins live and that was a pretty good match, even though Paul has only done a couple of matches in the WWE.

I guess we can say that he is overrated if he keeps on fighting ex-MMA or ex-UFC fighters because it seems that he has a good records against them. But with a more experience boxer or even with with Tommy Fury got, he was able to beat Jake Paul.

So yeah, maybe next time if he can call out some ex-boxer then we can give him some credit. But for know it seems that he is staying away in facing that kind of opponents because he knows he will get smoke.

It is certainly not rigged, however, Jake Paul knows which MMA fighters are ready to be his victims and to add in his list hehehe. I reckon that he will need another victim to build his name again before another fight vs. a real boxer. This will certainly bring back the hype on Jake Paul's side and similar to his loss to Tommy Fury, he might lose again vs. a real boxer hehehe. Old, retired MMA fighters and young, real boxers are different. It might be good to witness Jake Paul vs. Jorge Masvidal in boxing, however hehehe.

I think that is called smart management :D Great boxers like Mike Tyson, Tyson Fury and other stars were not thrown against top ranked fighters and champions in the start of their career, even though they were able to win against them.

I dont get why people think that Jake Pauls fights are rigged and he fight only weak and retired veterans. First it will be stupid to organize a fight against current cruiserweight champs. They are way more on a higher level. Second, he is unranked. Ranked guys dont want to fight him and contracts dont allow them to fight him. Third, he needs to build a reputation, and he doing it by fight fighters that has names.

Logan Paul looks to be headlining an October boxing match in Manchester as part of the KSI vs Tommy Fury bout:
https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/8/8/23824664/logan-paul-returns-to-boxing-to-face-dillon-danis-as-part-of-ksi-vs-tommy-fury-card-in-october
Both him and his brother are calling out Mcgregor on X since Jake vs Diaz and he is wanting to fight either of them.
Could be an epic battle for the Paul brothers against The Notorious One.

@rdbase. Logan Paul is only doing this to hype himself. He certainly knows that Conor will never go below to his level in pay per view earnings. It was different with Nate vs. Jake because Nate knew that a fight against Jake would give him his biggest purse of his career. This is not the same for Conor. Conor has already received his biggest career earnings from the fight vs. Mayweather.

Also, I speculate that we might witness Conor's next fight in bare knuckle boxing. There are some rumors in social media saying that Conor wants to be an owner of BKFC. He might use himself as owner, promoter and athlete to market the promotion hehehehe.

It's drama from the Jake now for the hike,it's important for one to build their own status based on the controversy.Jake know who had a potential to win his game.So he know who on the list from the MMA to fight against him in the next match.He never think he will lose the game against the Tommy Fury,Fury itself doesn't had a belief of the win.Because the arm power of the Paul is twice the arm power of the Fury.Even the fan club of the boxing world not agreed with the result of Jake and Furry match.The match between Jake and Jorge will be the expected one for now.

So he is seeing the benefits of actually owning the fighting establishment rather than staying with the UFC being Dana White's payday.
Was watching a recent interview with the UFC owner last week and he was praising Conor saying how he was the most successful fighter who made him and his organization the most money in it's history to date.
Will be quite interesting if Mcgregor takes his circus show on the road with the BKFC instead of staying with Dana and the UFC since that is the only way he knows.
Just curious, what label was the Mayweather bout fought under? As it was quite a while ago so don't recall and too busy to do a search atm.
Didn't realize it is still recognized as the single biggest earnings of his career since his PPV bouts were selling monstrous numbers back then.

I'm not sure Logan Paul can really get McGregor to fight him because it won't be up to par and McGregor will definitely just take what Logan Paul said as a joke.
For Jake or Diaz it might be a Logan Paul fight but I think it will be a bit of a tough fight for Logan Paul when actually against one of them.

What I still wonder is Logan Paul can earn so much more money from his income as a YouTuber and actor then why else does he care about a boxing career.
But if Logan Paul can fight against one of them maybe this will be surprising and become quite a sensational fight. :D

Maybe there's a chance that he can get McGregor, but I'm afraid the deal would not happen because McGregor might demand a bigger slice of the pie, knowing to himself that he already proved he can sell a fight. His biggest payday was when he fought Mayweather, so this fight, if possible, is way lower than what he received before. However, if this would really happen, I think I'll still go with Paul here. McGregor seems probably not active anymore.

I watched some of the fight and then watched the highlights of the fights the next day.  I am once again annoyed that someone didn't know the f out of Jake Paul ( I would prefer him and his douche of a brother both get knocked out every fight they take), but of course he wasn't fighting a boxer per usual. 

When are these dudes going to fight legitimate pro boxers their own age??

Jake Paul has already fought a good boxer, Tommy Fury, and in fact, that's where his only loss came from. Tommy Fury is 24 years old, while Jake Paul is 26. He probably realized that he can't beat a legitimate boxer, so he chose an old and retired UFC fighter. At the end of the day, all he cares is he can win and make a good amount of money at the same time. That's how smart he is.

These brothers portray as an underdog villain influencers which aims to climb the main stage by fighting well known fighters that they know they have a chance on winning like Anderson Silva and now Nate Diaz. The boxing match is an advantage to Jake Paul given that it is the sports that he is mainly training. We can see how Nate Diaz tries to do a guilotine to Jake Paul, if it's an MMA UFC fight, we know who will win that for sure but as a we the current standing of Jake Paul, we can see that he is capable of defeating MMA legends on boxing.

I don't think they will. That will take out a lot of their fans on social media which is their livelihood. :D
They are too afraid to face a true boxer with training that is way far from him. Because the worst-case scenario is, they will end up face down on the mat or in the hospital.
They need old guys who want to make a living before their retirement, those who are looking for money because they are not able to fight in the Octagon or the boxing ring anymore. They will keep on doing that until they reach that same veteran age and they will still have a smile on their faces with all the money they made.
What I want to see is the lack of support that will affect their status. Maybe that way they will be forced to fight a real boxer and test their strength.

Agreed, Jake Paul is an influencer/content creator that use boxing as his main content. It’s obvious that he will cherry pick opponents to make his career attractive to his viewers. He is not a professional boxer per se and it's actually impressive that someone like that is not a pro is fighting professional athletes on physical sports.

His fights is actually good for content and people not satisfied because most of his fight is not from pro boxer on prime is missing the fact that he is a content creator not a pro. Jake Paul doing a great job for his career.

From this time on, he will be picking only those who couldn't defeat him after all he is the one paying those fighters. He is defeating the legendaries in UFC though, the record is quite impressive for those who are not aware those legendaries like Silva are out of shape. And it's also attracting a lot of attention every time because the fans are still spending for the tickets.

If Conor just doesn't have enough money, he would have offered millions to him for a fight. The next target I guess is Chuck Norris.  ;D

You know what, I'm also trying to figure that out to get an answer on that question as I've been curious as well why he still fighting when he is already having profits on the sidelines by making stuffs like that was mentioned above. Tough to say though but I think boxing scene always guarantees them millions that is why they cannot get themselves out of it and it's just too hard for them specially after the fact that they are already so accustomed to be in a limelight so that they will be always relevant.

It was a promoted by 2 boxing promotions companies. Uncle Dana's Zuffa Boxing and Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions. It was also speculated to be the beginning of Dana White's career as a boxing promoter after he has sold the UFC for $4billion, including 10% of his own shares in the company on 2016. Mayweather vs. McGregor was promoted 1 year after on 2017. However, after Conor's loss, Dana White stopped promoting in boxing and would never allow other UFC fighters to also fight in boxing.

Previously, we can call it his job, to be a influencer/content creator in Youtube. But he found a very good niche to make more money than creating videos for him. Probably he is still doing it for Youtube for the money, but at least he is hitting 2 birds with one stone here.


Him and his brother is really doing good in their career and as far as money making is and for sure this is there goal to go and be rich at early age. And even if he hate this kind of matches, as it somewhat destroys the image of pro boxing, nobody can really stop them, specially Jake Paul himself is already producing this kind of events.

A news had come out in relation to this fight.

Both were handed a medical suspension for 31 days, read the full information here.

Paul vs. Diaz medical suspensions: Jake Paul, Nate Diaz get 31 days each (https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/lists/jake-paul-vs-nate-diaz-medical-suspension-boxing-match-injuries-commission-texas)

---

What are your thoughts about the news?

30 days are still good its hard-fought both fighters have gone through, this is to protect the boxers and make their body heal fighter I think the two guys don't need a suspension with all the money they made they can enjoy a long vacation, Nate Diaz reportedly earned $500k million much more than all the fight he had when is still in UFC, this is the reason why fighters from MMA become popular choose to shift to boxing because this is where the money is.

See nothing bad in such medical suspensions. That is made to prevent fighters from taking another fight earlier or go back to training. For example in UFC, when a person is knocked out or the fighter is unconsciousness after a submission, then he is suspended for 6 months. That is all made for protection. Even for regular people doctors suggest not to do any sport for a week after recovery from illness  ;D

Despite his losses to Tommy Fury, Jake Paul's boxing career is still at its peak. The fans do not stop supporting him despite no longer being undefeated. With this big win against a popular UFC fighter, it will continue to propel him into stardom, and more money will come in as he schedules more fights.

Personally, I don't think there's an older UFC fighter who could defeat him in boxing, even McGregor.

---

Thanks for providing a clear explanation on that. I had no idea what it was; I thought it was a bad thing or a punishment for violating the rules. However, it turns out it's just a precaution.

Yes, I think even McGregor himself will find it hard to defeat Jake Paul in the ring. Some people will argue because for them, it seems like he almost won against Mayweather way back 2017 but in reality, it's not even that close because Mayweather had delivered some good punches to him while McGregor just managed to land a few.

Looking at Jake Paul now, people don't care if he's undefeated or not because he can always deliver a fight that people doesn't see that much often, a fight where big names are always involved.

They’re saying that Nate Diaz walked away from this fight with Jake Paul having made over twenty million dollars. That is more than his entire career in the UFC. Say what you want about Jake Paul, but he helped Nate Diaz make more than his lifetime earnings in one night. This is why the UFC is trash and needs to be replaced with something better for the fighters.

saw that news too. the money is probably the main reason why Nate Diaz accepted the fight, it's easy money compared to the money he has to work so hard for when fighting in UFC. also, I heard that Jake Paul also wants to fight Nate Diaz in the Octagon, if this fight goes through, I wonder how much they'll make.

This was boxing man, not MMA. This huge payday of Nate Diaz has absolutely nothing to do with the UFC. This fight was worth millions because it was a fight between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz and Jake Paul is great in marketing, you have to keep in mind his background, an youtuber guy, who was watching disney+ turned into a professional boxer in late adolescence. Guy mas millions of subscribers, don't forget that he is a brother of Logan Paul who is also enormously popular and famous. These guys are extremely wealthy, popular and marketing gurus too, the UFC has nothing to do with this pay, absolutely nothing. Also, this was a boxing match, not an MMA match.

Btw, I don't really understand what's the point of buying a ticket and PPV of the rigged match.

It's not totally rigged because we can only say that Jake Paul had 90% of chance to win, no guarantees despite having that much percentage because if Jake Paul's fight were rigged in the first place, he could've remained undefeated by now and defeated Tommy Fury on their fight in the past months. There is no certainty but we can already tell who will win, it's not that hard to figure out.

Not rigged but we both know their chances in the fight and that the chances of Nate Diaz won't even amount for us to start considering that he might win the fight, and which did happened just like how we forecasted it because there was no way that Jake Paul would lost the fight after having an embarrassment against Tommy Fury. But on their upcoming rematch, which is not yet sure for now, I think Nate Diaz will have the total control of the fight.

Bookies even know that Jake Paul will likely win the fight as he was listed as the heavy favorite to win.

Judging by the betting odds, it's evident that no rigging has taken place. Additionally, Jake Paul is an active boxer, whereas Nate Diaz is a UFC fighter who is already past his prime. Given these factors, the outcome was somewhat predictable.

The notion of rigging might arise because some people base their judgments on what they hear rather than what they see.

What I saw is that Nate Diaz didn't take this fight seriously, he didn't train, he was taunting and walking away during the fight, he even started to talk someone. Well, I know it's his style but I think he didn't take this fight seriously and was just waiting for the money. Do you all really think that you saw a true Nate Diaz? Nah, that's why I call it rigged. It's rigged when only one part trains in boxing for 7 years and trains hard every day before the fight vs when the 2nd part is not a boxer and didn't really care about training.

I will admit that Jake Paul is a boxer if he fights against Jon Jones in boxing match. Jones is an MMA fighter, so I think it will be fair if these two meet each other in the boxing ring. He wants to fight Legends, right? Then let's fight Jon Jones, he is a legend. Not only Nate Diaz is a legend. If he wants someone lower than him but still a legend in MMA, then he can fight Islam Makhachev, Charles Oliveira, Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje. They will eat him alive.

We all know what his marketing is. Jake Paul is a great marketer! That's all, he knows how to do money. Personally, I wouldn't pay a single cent to watch Jake's fight but millions of people pay for it, so that's all he has to keep in mind.

Have you seen Nate Diaz fighting in UFC ? During the fights, he also like to walk, taunt and do things to show that he really dont care (like having his ass kicked during whole fight, but instead of landing a proper punch, he slaps his opponent and smiles). Nate never takes fighting seriously. That is why he hasnt become a champ, fight top fighters, and never got a title shot (except once).

I dont think this fight was rigged. Jake really shows good boxing, while his opponent never take Jake seriously (or they might be blind due to paycheck). Jake can fight Jones, Makhachev, Oliveira, Poirier or Gaethje, but first - Dana wont let them fight (UFC contract), second - they dont want to fight Jake. Jake is ready to fight anyone, because that makes him rich :D Other dont want to fight him.

One of the reasons for that is their hate with Jake Paul which made them blind in the process and just instead say that it was already rigged and so there was no need for us to watch because the outcome was already crystal clear specially after the fact that Jake Paul needed a win to bounce back after a loss versus a true boxer, Tommy Fury.

It is undeniable that some people don't appreciate his motive in the boxing industry because he organize some fights that looks like circus already but look at him, he is still making some fights up until now because he's literally good at it and they did not realize that their hate towards Jake is the reason why he is still relevant these days.

Yes, you're right about that and whether we like him or not, it is what it is because despite portraying as being the bad guy publicly where we can at least say that he's not giving the boxing industry a good image because of his deeds, he is still well loved in his own community because he have his own supporters, a huge one by the way, that will always support him in almost everything he do. And in every issue that he will cause, for sure people will be talking about it but it's already a trick so that his name will always float anywhere. Hence why he is so successful today.

Any more news about a potential MMA style rematch? Before the fight there was lots of talk and even after Jake claimed that he was going to kick Nate’s ass in the octagon next. I wonder if that was all talk to hype up this fight or if Jake is really willing to switch sports in order to make it a more challenging fight.

The only news I saw recently is that Nate Diaz made 15-20 millions for that fight. That is multiple time more he got from UFC. No doubt that he can allow himself to walk with low hands during the fight and only taunt Jake.

Maybe Jake will keep his word and have a mma fight, but I wonder which promotion gonna organaze it. Boxing fight was with DAZN. I think only UFC is able to organize such fight and pay so much to them, but Dana not going to do that.

I think that match will be held by PFL - Professional Fighters League because as far as I remember, he was promoting PFL in January, 2023. I just googled and as it seems, he had an interview at ESPN where he said that his MMA debut will happen in late 2023 or early 2024, here is the full interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yuin5TfANtk).
I believe Jake will have an MMA fight, he doesn't have to keep this word, it's going to happen without a doubt because it's necessary for his career, fame and wealth boost.

Yes, there is no need for us to do that because it is already expected specially if there will be a money flowing and we can say that Jake Paul will follow that even if it will be on a different stage, doesn't matter what would he look like as long as there will be millions to have. T

And that specific statement he made when he was interviewed helped us to understand his motives towards having an MMA fight but definitely it won't be organized by Dana White because Jake Paul is promoting another organizer and Nate Diaz doesn't have any problems with that because he doesn't have any outstanding contract with Dana White.

Not sure though, but perhaps if the money is right, he might jump ship to MMA. But if you look at it, if Nate made $20 million then most likely Jake earn more than that. So if he will go and fight in MMA, then the money could be around $50 million.

So it's just a question whether any organization can raise that huge money just to pay Jake to fight MMA style. Someone mentioned PFL, not sure how big this organizations is and if they are willing to shell out that big money to lure Jake Paul to fight in MMA rules.

I also have thoughts that if Jake is having a mma fight, that it is going to be PFL. PFL seems to be having money, as they afforded to sign Ngannou. I doubt that Jake needs a lot of time to prepare for mma fight, as he bets more on a boxing career than a mma career. He would put on mma gloves just to get a juicy check (imho he would immediately tap as soon as someone choke or do a submit him). The minor issue would be his opponent. Who would be given a honor to fight him and to earn.


I think Asian promotions can afford such fight, as they can afford to pay millions Floyd Mayweather for few minutes of boxing fight that looks more like a sparring or exhibition fight.

It will be a shame for Nate Diaz to lose against Jake Paul. They'll definitely fight in MMA because as Nate said, in MMA Jake has zero chance and if Nate refuses to fight, Jake can verbally bully him. I believe this fight will 100% happen if Nate Diaz doesn't overdose on Coke.

And I also think that Jake Paul vs Khabib is possible too. There was an interview where they asked Khabib about fight between him and Jake Paul. At first Khabib said that he isn't going to fight and has retired but then when he quickly realized that it was Jake Paul and he would get tons of money, he later said that we can think about this. Khabib is not as honest and ideal man as he seems from outside, he loves money too and tries to mask that. So, I would say, fight between them is possible!

I am 1000% sure that Khabib was joking. First of all, their fight is not going to happen, because Khabib is not that interested in money, as people think. I think that UFC has offered Khabib 100 times more what Jake could possible offer him. It is not about money. Second, for Khabib, Jake is not a real athlete, he wont fight him, that wont be interesting for him. That remind me the situation with Khabibs father, when he told that for 100 millions they would fight Conor McGregor again. But that was like a joke, like an imaginary amount to mention to stop all the talks for a rematch, just to get rid of that kind of question.

Why I think Khabib is not interested in money? Because he has so huge fan base, such a high reputation, that if he, for example, takes a serious decision to release something with his name (like a brand), then he would multiply his wealth many times easily. But he does not do this. Lets take crypto for example, he might similar to Elon Musk, tweet something about dogecoin, and its value would jump.

It is indeed, he would be more embarrassed to himself if he gets defeated by someone who is making his debut and this is his sport where he have a vast of experience and wins in his career. Thinking about it, I don't know what would be Nate's situation if that happens but surely, he needs to expect that Jake Paul will not let him forget that knowing that the man is very vocal about his wins and achievement in life.

And that Nate vs Khabib fight? I don't think that is possible, he might've been cornered when he was asked about that because I believe that he will follow his fathers legacy just like he said and will be alongside Islam, and will not step foot in the octagon as a fighter. But if he's dazzled for the money, then I guess you're right, he's not that man we thought he was.
