Nick Diaz vs Nate Diaz - Who is the BIGGER PPV Draw now?

[hayz]

Obviously, we don't actually know for a FACT but interested to hear opinions.

Before the Conor fight, i'd EASILY say Nick. There wasn't even that much buzz for Nate's fight vs Johnson, his post fight interview was what garnered more attention. Now, it's way closer...I still think Nick Diaz is a bigger draw because he is better in his respective weight class, he has been in the limelight for far longer and he is the real wildcard out of the two. It's like Maidana when he beat Broner. A lot of people felt as though, Manny/Floyd would still beat him and the likes of Thurman/Porter/Bradley too but they loved the way he beat the arrogance out of Broner and so convincingly which led his next fight vs whoever to be big news, especially when he decided to fight Floyd.

No offence, but I really don't give a shit.

Honestly every casual I've talked to about the diaz brothers don't even know the difference between the two honestly.

Nick

I'd say to the majority of casual fight fans they're pretty much interchangeable; like literally, they don't know which one is which. Their parents probably should've been a little more creative when naming them.

Nick. Standard.

Dude laid down in front of Anderson Silva ffs.

 

[HUGHPHUG]

Pretty sure it will always be Nick Diaz

Casuals confuse Nate with Nick.

They are two different people. Nick sounds more intelligent when he talks.

 

[kiley_sean]

It's still Nick.

Hard to gauge since Nate's biggest fight PPV wise can be mostly credited to Conor. Nick has also had more big fights, BJ, GSP & Silva so probably Nick.

 

[Zarra]

It's still Nick.

This is so true. I have to explain specifically which one I am talking about to people

Nick has had the bigger PPV fights thus far.

But Nate just closed the gap considerably with what he has done in recent times, both in terms of the fights, and him stepping his game up promoting them, as well as himself.

My brother and a guy I train with who watches maybe 1 out of 10 ufc events both were surprised to hear Nate's suspension was up from the Anderson fight when he filled in for RDA.
