Logan Paul has been attempting to book a fight with Nate Diaz, but he’s come to the conclusion that the MMA legend may actually be avoiding him. Paul isn’t actually the only person in his family to call out Diaz either, as his brother Jake also challenged him after signing a contract with PFL. The only real difference between the two call-outs is that Logan Paul wants a boxing match with the UFC star instead. Despite his alleged best efforts, this still hasn’t come to fruition and he recently spoke to Ariel Helwani for BT Sport and opened up on the reasons why:
“I think he’s running. This guy, I think he’s ducking. 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 (PPV 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.”
“I don’t even care anymore. 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.”
According to Logan Paul the fight with Nate Diaz isn’t entirely dead in the water though. It’s not confirmed yet, but it’s something they’re still trying to work on together. Paul actually seems pretty positive about the whole process to be fair:
