Google News Logan Paul on the boxing match with Nate Diaz: I think he's running
by | VIEW 155
Logan Paul is ready for a boxing match against Nate Diaz, but it seems that his opponent has somewhat different plans. Logan Paul believes that Diaz is running away from him and that he does not want to be in the ring with him.
“I think he’s running. This guy, I think he’s ducking,” Paul told BT Sport, as quoted by mmafighting.com “We have the sweetest deal for him and he knows the type of numbers I bring in. I’m not a quarter of a million [pay-per-view buys] type of fighter, you’re going to get 750,000 [to a] million buys, and I’m an 0-1 YouTuber.
Seems like an easy fight on paper." Paul cannot understand the reasons why his opponent avoids this kind of fight. “I don’t even care anymore,” Paul said. “I thought I had something locked in, but apparently he said the fight was off.
Like, why? Why? So he could fight someone else? For what purpose? To get less buys, and maybe an easier fight? I don’t get it."
Nate Diaz and Logan Paul
Paul needs an opponent like Diaz and is ready to face him. However, Diaz's team seems to want more money.
The question is whether an agreement will be reached. “As far as I know, it’s not dead because we had to f****** offer him more money. It’s like we’re baiting this guy into fighting me. It’s hard for me to get a fight because either you’re not worth my time and energy, or you’re not going to sell pay-per-views.
I’ll do it, but I need a dance partner. And I don’t need a tune-up fight, give me the real dogs. Nate Diaz is a dog. I was looking forward to that fight, then I got a call the other day and they said they didn’t want to do it. It was almost done. I don’t know”.
