Dana and the UFC have grossly underpaid both Diaz bros their entire careers, like at a disgusting level. Their former manager really let them down in negotiations over the years, so I fully support Nate trying to milk them for every penny he can get out of them now that he has some bargaining chips.
Opusman Videos no, he hasn't. They got paid what everyone else around their level got paid. You can say everyone was underpaid but you can't say just they were
Bro Ski that's wrong. THe diaz brothers had a manager apart of training camp. So the guy only got what was owed to him basically. Nate Diaz Murk"d Gray Maynard and was paid 10k Gray was paid 75k. its not that ufc under pays it's management doesnt start with hella high numbers. They're afraid of the ufc and low ball them selves at times.
Maybe you don't realize the UFC NEVER wanted either Diaz Brother to represent the UFC as a champion... they are too raw and nonconforming...NOT good marketing material. If you know about the Diaz Bros. you KNOW they have lost some bullshit decisions... Their legit loses are due to not fighting a pussy point fight... They come to FIGHT and are willing to get hit to put on a GOOD fight. They take damage and bleed easily so it looks bad for them.... But if these fights went till someone was finished..... Both Diaz Brothers would be champs... There's a video of Dana saying "if conor can even fight a little bit, he'll be a huge star" WHY would he say that.????? cause he KNEW he could MAKE it happen.... Come here conor, Hold Daddy Danas hand..... you're going to make daddy lots of money.!!!
Lol you just said that the number of people who pay to see the fight doesnt matter because others watch it for free - its still the ONLY thing that matters you melt
Pete Theodocion meaning the #s of PPV buys. Like 1 million ppl didn’t watch the fight because if 1 million ppv buys because 4 million watched it illegally you melt
I am a Conor fan but if I wasn't I would be a Nate Diaz fan. Nate deserves at least 15 million of this trilogy fight, just enough to set him and his family for life if invested wisely. Nate has fought his heart out and deserves all the rewards that he can get. he is one fighter that I admire greatly for his shear heart in fights and his will to see everything over the line even if it means he is half dead he will continue. You have to admire Nate he is one of lifes true warriors.
Kurai Ryuu Well because they both cant win in a fight unless its a draw and draws are slim to none in MMA so it makes sense to choose 1 and Conor is my favourite fighter as well as being a fellow countryman.
Nathan Diaz should definitely be rewarded for his contributions to the UFC, people are going to tune in for Diaz as well as Conor, so I think 5 to 10 million is acceptable, especially if Conor gets 20 to 30 million
Donnnation TV same base rate of $10 million plus $10 million more for winner. Duration match. 3 minute rounds until there is a KO or submission. Easily the biggest PPV in UFC history.
Nate and Nick Diaz vs McGregor and Artem 'the king of everything and everyone' Lobov in a tag team match *Undercards:* Brock Lesnar vs Jon Jones (winner takes all steroids) Donald Trump vs Kim Jong Un Voltron vs McGregors boys (last man standing)
how would you even do a tag team match? this isnt fucking wwe. heres how i see it playing out, nate tagging nick, nick who comes in 25 pounds heavier knocks out mcgregor or lobov. only one knockout to win? have you ever even seen a tag team match???
Nate beats Conor in the first fight and the die hard Conor fans cry for a rematch. Conor beats Nate in the second fight and the die hard Conor fans say there shouldn't be a rematch. Makes sense
Quantum Rick they already know that if he loses it will (or should) be the beginning of his downfall. It's the trilogy. No one wants to see best 3 out of 5 shit in fighting sports. Most logical fight fans know that McGregor is overrated but entertaining. It should be merit based though like any pro sport. The fact he is on any top 10 p4p list is disgraceful.
Conor is not ready for that third fight. He stalled for that second fight, you remember? Even in that second fight, he needed crutches to get to the post fight press conference. Nate told him what to do after the first fight to get better. The true mma fans know what's up. The true old school fighting pride, strike force fans know who brings them to that black mirror. Them Diaz boys. The brothers with no promotional push, just a following of muthafuckers who love violence.
The diaz bros are legends there will never be anybody else like the in mma glad i got to witness there careers. It saddens me that nick won't ever fight again and Nate is most likely on his way out as well.
I said that the May weather/Mcgreggor fight opened up Pandora's box for the UFC. Shit if I was Connor I wouldn't consider another (UFC) fight unless $40 mill was on the table.
what are his options? he can box but i think he'll do poorly. michael jordans baseball career comes to mind. he can fight mma where hes king and get paid less. or what? undercut the ufc and start his own tournament? he's gotta fight mma and accept whatever he's worth in the octogon. or he can retire
P Huerta you know what though, WHY NOT start his own tournament? If I was him, I'd get in contact with al Haymon to make a exclusive fight with whom ever(Diaz, Mallinaggi, etc). Promo it as his brand(like TMTdoes). If it's anytime he could do this, it would be now..
Handful Of Rag Tags Nate beat Connor and Michael Johnson within the last 3 years so wtf you talking about Nate has brought nothing but excitement to the sport he deserves it
If Conner got $100M from Mayweather and then gets another 30-40 from Paulie, there is no way he ever fights again in the UFC. He is a smart guy and knows the damage and long term risks if he keeps fighting in the UFC. He will have $150M+ in the bank and will just go full promotor. He can still make a ton of money without risking a head kick.
If he fights paulie and makes that kind of money I reckon he will fight two more times in the UFC. Nate Diaz and then Tyron woodley for the welterweight championship then retires and goes promoting his own stuff in Ireland. No fuckin way he's ever fighting ferguson or Khabib
Peter Sedesse What makes you think he'll never fight in the UFC again? For one, MMA is a far less dangerous sport than boxer and two, fighters can't just simply kick the warrior addiction.
After the Paulie fight he will have $150M reasons not to fight again. Like Joe said in this video, at best he is going to get 20-30M for Nate... and then nothing. There are no other fights left for him.. GSP? Woodley? Khabib... none of them are going to bring in enough money. He has a family now, he is going to retire.
Lee - constantly calls out Khabib, ends up getting, and accepting, a fight with Ferguson (top 2 guys in the division). Gaethje - says he just wants to fight the best in the division - will deal with Alvarez then wants to take on whoever's on top - Khabib, Ferguson, Conor Ferguson - Top contender still willing to take an unnecessary tough challenge against Lee Conor - Calling for a fight with...Nate Diaz 😆😆😆
Bruce Patrick no why are ppl switching this thing up lol? This is MORE reason to jump on the "Let's hate Conor" train. Conor is the one bringing up Nate. Why in the fuck is the champ of the division wanting to fight Nate fuckin Diaz next? Silent about everyone else. Really says something about Conor.
Bruce Patrick I agree he needs to fight a top contender first in 155. He hasn't fought in a year. He's gonna keep slipping down the ranks and never get a shot again.
Um, He hasn't been knocked out 2 times since Conor. And I agree. At LW. that is a fight that should happen. But Conor will never do it, because he knows it won't go down the same way. Normally, that kind of fluke ending demands an instant rematch. But Conor is too much of a punk to agree to it.
I become memorized watching any pod cast with Brendan as the guest. You two should consider making one together with guest. You two are must see and listen. 👊
Floyd toyed with Conor, he could have finished him earlier. Needs to forget about boxing, limited, with mediocre power. He would be put too sleep in the first round if he boxed GGG. Paulie would probably school him.
Nate's last fight was against McGregor... lol McGregor has since won the UFC lightweight strap by beating Alvarez, and partied in the boxing ring with Mayweather. Ferguson fought and beat Vanatta a month before Nate's last fight, and has since fought and beat RDA. Kevin Lee fought Mustavaef the same month as Nate's last fight. He's since fought and beat Trinaldo and Chiesa. Nate has been holding out for McGregor like his life depends on it. He hasn't earned a shot at the 55 strap, he only fought McGregor at the agreed 170 catchweight before McGregor won the lightweight strap. The UFC should give him 10 mil and PPV points for McGregor Diaz 3 and just get on with it.😆 They and UFC fans better hope he loses too. If he can sit out that long waiting for McGregor, can you imagine what he'll do if he wins the 55 strap?😁 Shit-show.😂
Jonathan Knight couldn't be much worse then how much holding out Conor is doing since winning the belt...You're right, Nate doesn't deserve the fight. Everyone can see it, yet THAT'S the man Conor is calling out. Really says something about Conor imo.
Joe was having problems with his Fight Pass stream. Some guy in England streamed this event over periscope and the stream was flawless. I should give Joe the guy's periscope handle so he can use it for future fight companions.
Kings93 yeah im not going to go into a debate with you about this. I was side Mayweather over Mcgregor. Couldnt careless who side he took. Its just boring to listen to his marketing ploys.
I love the diaz bros. since the 1st time I saw them. Nate, you need Conor, he doesn't need you. Nick, either open up a dispensary for weed or fight. I miss seeing him fight but enough is enough.
Mark my word: $100M later, a new marriage, a new son; Conor will never be in a match again with Nate Diaz. Talk all you want. Its just talk. From here on out, Conor will be fighting safe.
No, taxes/ufc wont force anything. I think you're mixing him up with floyd's ilk. And no, i'd say Nate would cause more damage than anyone else in Conor's weight class while also not bringing the dollars, because we've seen it already twice before. We know what a 3rd will look like. It will be the same as the second with Nate possibly winning by points and possibly Conor getting hurt more than necessary at this point in his career, even if he snags a "W". Literally anyone but nate would bring smarter dollars.
Gi Al so wait a sec. Conor fought Floyd and trained boxing for a while. Nate smoked blunts eversince and you say Nate would win? Just legkick Nate. He never ever does anything about it. gg conor.
Conor's got f.u. money now. Overall, my point is, he is smart and won't jump into a match that would give him permanent brain damage when he could just pick safe-money fights and live like a king for the rest of his life. Or, at the very least, live without drooling on himself from a wheelchair at 65 y/o. Sure, its boring, but he's been a good gladiator. No fan should complain.
nate made nothing until conor.. Give nate 1 million or conor should just go fight others. I like Nate but this dummy has the worst management and was only making 40k a fight before conor. No way if i was conor would i want nate making that kind of money, i would tell nate to shut up and fight for 1 mill or 3 mil or something then tell Dana to give me the rest of the money in my pocket. Conor is the draw, nate isn't a PPV draw. Nate has made retirement money already from conor, either way conors going to sell tons of PPV..

Nate Vs Connor will pull more people as he is the only fighter to have beaten McGregor in the UFC. Everybody knows it is a risky fight for McGregor and that fact alone will draw people. A less known fighter means lower PPV buys.
Mark K - Nate made over 750k off of post fight bonuses in his career, after all hes got the record for most fight of the night bonuses, tied second for most post fight bonuses, and tied second for most submissions in UFC history, He most definitely deserves the money for the crappy pay UFC had him at for so long. Seriously do you think a guy who had been in the UFC for 9 years with records like that should've been paid less the sage fucking northcutt, or paige vanzant? Seriously?
nate fighting anybody other than conor would get 500-700k ppv buys. conor fighting anybody would get 1 mil+. if both fight each other, they get 1.7-2 mil IMO. 2 mil * $60 = $120 million dollars revenue. Conor gets $40 mil, Nate gets $20 mil. like $0.2 goes to the other fighters on the card. It could work. The UFC make $60 mil so they have no reason to complain. Plus add in ticket sales which would be 8-10 mil there
Nate won't bounce hes nit a quitter at anything he will step up in weight then maybe retire if he cant compete but the man is young not even 30 yet and he can submit anyone with his ground game off his back from there back he has sick ass ju jitsu skills like jake shields he mimics every move with a counter hes amazing my fuckn idol for sute
Trilogy, conor outboxes Slow Nate again and beat the shit out of his face thats it, ok Nate has fkin endurance but that doesnt make fight interesting. Nate boxing skill ill just try right jab left straight over and over again.
Simkin - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which Nate's a black belt in under Cesar Gracie. People don't really know this about nate but, hes tied for more post fight bonuses, has the most fight of the night bonuses, tied 2nd for most submissions in UFC history (behind Gracie his mentor), Nate Diaz is a monster on the ground and will never point fight to win like Conor did in #2.
Why not? Mcgregor just made $100 million. Nate knows that he vs McGregor is the "money fight" of UFC now that Lesnar vs. Jones is on halt. Besides, when negociating a wage, give a high number, so company will offer a lower value but it'll still be more than was paid before.
Young McGregor did well vs 40 year old Floyd? No one wants to see McGreggor Malignaggi. --People would pay to see McGregor play softball? Man stop this ....
