What are the chances diaz over plays his hand and ends up fighting on his crap contract?

[Imalive]

Diaz deserves a big payday based the numbers the rematch will do but he is on a shit contract that he really can not get away from. If this rematch deal falls through he will end up having to fight for pennies again or not fighting at all. He really has no leverage and I hope he doesn't negotiate his way out of a lot of money trying to get more.

 

[ortizgnp]

He will never fight for under 200k again.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

100%

 

[Coconut Joe]

Back on the 20-20

 

[Headkicktoleg]

He will never fight for under 200k again.

So you think he will retire huh

 

[Imalive]

He will never fight for under 200k again.

Then there is a chance he may never fight again.

 

[TheWobbler]

Now that nate got taste of the big cheque he will now only fight for the big pay. If he doesn't fight conor we may not see him again for a while.

 

[Frankel]

Well, see if he does? Then he's obviously not as smart as people like to hail him as (for some reason). I like the guy and the rematch would be fun but he seems to think he's got as much pull with the UFC as Conor does and it's really not true. He's become a bit of a fan darling lately but in reality he's had his opportunities and he's kinda riding Conor's coattails at the moment. Good on him, and I wish him all the best and doing so, but he's getting a bit ahead of himself and really isn't the 'star' that he thinks he is.

 

[OriginMMA]

He's pushing it in my opinion. Demand more money but don't push it.

 

[SocraticMethod]

I think there's a decent chance he screws this up.

Here's the thing, they want the rematch not Diaz. Diaz wants to get paid equally because he's the one that's in demand and he's right. The UFC should just suck it up and pay him if they really want the fight.

This. Diaz is not screwing up anything.

Back to his bum life.

Sad.

Talented fighter and interesting personality but only Conor can get him the money.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

If Conor movez on & losez... then Nate losez.

If Conor movez on & winz... you'd be better off paying Nate whatever he'z asking for now!

if he was in demand the ufc would have paid him. diaz already dun goofed - dana and fertitta already made a trip to see him - and he declined. obviously the meeting conor had with dana went better

 

[ZuffaExecutive]

Pretty obvious thats what will happen.If he fights anyone other then conor he wont be making the big money thats just a reality very few can do big numbers in the ufc.And if he loses and conor goes back to 45 and wins.All people will say is oh well weight classes and he will have shot himself in the foot regarding money

 

[SH10151]

Honor over money... besides he holds the McGregor Belt. Undisputed Champ

 

[Aluminati]

Diaz doesn't want a rematch. He wants money and he wants to GTFO. He already beat McGregor decisively.
He has a number that it is worth for him to rematch Conor. They're not willing to meet that number.
If you're really not just trying to be cheap, call his bluff and move on. But they haven't, so, obviously they (UFC & Conor) want this fight, and this is simply negotiating through the media. I mean, shit, after all Conor did with whole retirement BS, I thought it was pretty obvious that they're dragging Diaz through the mud and trying to somehow make him the heel out of the three.

Tell Diaz that the rematch is off and he's going to have to fight someone else, or tell Conor that he lost, and he's going to have to defend the belt before a rematch. Diaz & his mgmt knows they're bluffing, and they're publicly calling all of them out. He's pissed that he hasn't been getting paid up to this point, and now that he has money, he's been very vocal about how little leverage that the UFC has in his decisions. He considered the pay he got last fight as "reimbursement" for his last 20 fights. Now, he wants his pay day.

 

[Siesta]

He will never fight for under 200k again.

Bahaahahahahaha! Good one.

Lucky for him then that he's the ONLY fight Conor wants.
