Welp, hope you got a comfy chair, Nate.
But, obvious negotiation tactic is obvious.

Im not about to search for the interview but he basically did. Up to them to report their income whether the UFC pays them cash or checkI doubt Dana publicly said he would help a fighter commit tax fraud.
Wasn't there a phase where he asked for a big advance and was paid 20/20 for a couple of fights? Not that long ago either, I think Conor was already in the UFC or coming soon...Can't believe how much Conor changed that bum's life.
Dude would've fought for a pound of brick packed Mexican dirtweed before Conor.
Yea but he wont get near 12 regardlessYou ask for 20 million settle for 12. Business 101.
Both Diaz bros were always about excuses. And not just one excuse: a plethora of excuses. Remember the GSP fight? Suspicious handwraps, spys in training camp, poisoned water on the plane, conspiracy to fix weigh-ins; the whole deal.Same thoughts on the Diaz bros. I WANT to be a fan, but they are just too full of nonsense. They only care about getting "theirs". I was listening to a Nate interview on here yesterday, and he was talking about being at the TIF house. He was saying he didn't want to do the show, but he was just going to show up to get a free medical and then bounce. I can't respect that kind of attitude, and looks like he's still got it.
Where is the shooped Diaz book pf excuses? He is about on par with Johnny and Nog now
Or in this case. ask for 20 mill and pray you at least get what you got at UFC 202.
Nate has no leverage here.
I really dont think his fan base and drawing power are as big as he thinks. He has some fans, and Im sure he helped sell the Conor fights, but all of Conor's fights sell, regardless of opponent. If the PPV #s are Ultron, Nate was like a knee cap...maybe a forearm.But he has.. in terms of LW and the all Conor saga he has a huge fan base and him vs Conor sells extra.
Maybe he doesn't exactly have a 20 mill pull but shit you try for the max and settle after.
Ruined his career? He is one of the few smart individuals in the game. He played his cards just right to be a multi millionaire. Not sure how thats ruining a career?Did you mean 120 as in $120,000? Because that is about what Nate Diaz is worth to the UFC per fight. That is close to what he was being paid before his two Conor fights that he didn't deserve. He has ruined his career. Good thing for him is that he isn't a flashy moron that spends money on cars and jewlery. He is low key and it will likely last him for a while.

If he wasn't acting like a moron with these ridiculous numbers (GSP couldn't even get 10 million) then it'd be interesting to see how a card he headlined without Conor did.
Yeah , 205 did do less. I don't think solid numbers are out yet, but last i read it was estimated at around 1.4.UFC 205 is less then 202 what did it do like a mill right or what's the speculation I know it's less since it's not close to 202 but to 200 in terms of numbers and keep in mind how stacked and hyped NY was.
While Nate vs Conor 2 done like 1.65 mill and wasn't stacked and wasn't hyped like NY with the heavy media push.
Nate helps the buys a lot, now not sure if that many mills worth it but it's negotiations you ask for more always.
I'm sure you're taking out of context. If you decide to back up what you're saying I'd be curious to see what you come up with.Im not about to search for the interview but he basically did. Up to them to report their income whether the UFC pays them cash or check
