Nate Diaz’s Boxing Match Against Jake Paul Could Surpass MMA Earnings

Nate Diaz stands to earn a significant amount of money from his recent boxing match against Jake Paul, possibly surpassing his entire earnings from his mixed martial arts (MMA) career. Despite losing the bout to Paul, Diaz’s performance was well-received, and he is expected to be compensated handsomely for his efforts.

According to a report from Bloody Elbow, Diaz is set to receive the largest payday of his career, which could exceed the earnings he made in MMA. The deal he has in place is structured similarly to that of a top boxer, and his representative mentioned that Diaz will be earning a substantial eight-figure sum, likely between $15 million and $20 million. Given that Diaz was promoted as a 50/50 partner with Paul in the event, this type of compensation structure could attract more fighters to explore similar opportunities. The financial success of Diaz’s boxing match highlights the significant financial incentives that fighters like him and Francis Ngannou can potentially capitalize on.

The exact amount Diaz will earn from this deal remains to be confirmed, but it is clear that his venture into boxing has the potential to be a lucrative endeavor.
