News Nate Diaz sues Fanmio for fraud, breach of contract after not being paid $10M for Masvidal fight

[pamirec]

Everyone complains about the UFC pay but at least you get your money. Seems like I hear about this sort of stuff happening more and more to fighters.

Yeah cause 15k/15k is a lotta money.

Yeah cause 15k/15k is a lotta money.

Maybe the UFC should offer them 10 million and just not pay. I'm sure the fighters would prefer that.

 

[jjjjjjjjjjohnny]

no surprises, he may end up back in the UFC for a super fight. he's not going to get paid anywhere else.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

10 million to Nate Diaz for this fight was terrible idea in the first place.

 

[HHJ]

It really sucks to see fighters get screwed.

Rampage and Shannon Briggs have been wanting to fight each other, but they both see that the promoter trying to put the fight on is not to be trusted so its not happening now.

I get it that these fights are not going to draw huge money, but when a guy like Nate actually fights and doesnt get paid, it really irks me.

All the K-1 guys got screwed out of serious money near the end.

 

[Steve Fox]

On the other end, Masvidal is probably super happy with what he got.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

They probably lost money on the event.

They did. The promoter said if he pays Nate he'd lose more money and end up in bankruptcy which isn't Nate's problem really

 

[HHJ]

Nate took so many knockout blows to the head and didnt go down. For only 10% what was promised. Fucked up.

 

[HHJ]

no surprises, he may end up back in the UFC for a super fight. he's not going to get paid anywhere else.

BKFC got the money

but UFC and BKFC aint gonna pay him 10 mil.

 

[HHJ]

Honestly I dont know if theyd bring in Nate to fight Perry. Perry probably shouldnt take that fight ahahahahah

He has to go into bankruptcy to avoid paying Nate. You could see it from a mile away that this event wasn't going to sell. It didn't help that Nate was tanking those press conferences.

 

[NoSmilez]

The guy will pay Nate in MAGAA coins and Happy Dad seltzer.

Just don’t fucking pay peanuts, it’s as simple as that.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

I’m speaking of having actual Saudi royalty, or Abu Dhabi tourism putting on the card.

Then $10M might be possible as a purse for Nate. But I seriously doubt it.

Otherwise..

NO FUCKING CHANCE.

You see the 50k-100k ppv actual top level boxers sell.

In what fucking dimension is Nate/Masvidal selling even 50K for a boxing exhibition? They’re 39 years old. They still act like juvenile delinquents. But what is the excuse of you people? THIRTY NINE YEARS OLD.

I didn’t watch it. They’d have to pay me to do so..

Moving on..

100% agree.

 

[method115]

The UFC clearly doesn't want to do that so no it's not that simple.

 

[jsbx45]

We can speculate all we want and debate whether Nate deserves it or not, but likely it is all in the contract. It SHOULD all be in the contract anyways. With these idiots, who knows. Articles like this, and their reported purses to the athletic commission will not help Nate's cause.

[pamirec]

The contract probably doesn’t favor Nate. The 10 million purse sounds like a verbal agreement at this point.

 

[pick999]

1 million was too much.

The best Dana would have given him is 100k/100k

10k/10k

 

[usernamee]

10k/10k

Should start on DWCS at 3k/3k and work himself up to that lucrative 10k/10k

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

If Nate thought it would generate enough for him to be paid $10M. He needs to lay off the weed.

If they signed a contract to pay him 10M it's not his problem what they generate.
