Logan Paul has accused Nate Diaz of ‘running’ as talks stall over a boxing match between the pair.
Paul, 27, rose to fame on YouTube alongside his younger brother Jake, and both have competed in boxing in recent years. Most recently, Logan Paul fought boxing icon Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout in 2021.
Meanwhile, mixed martial arts icon Diaz left the UFC in September after submitting Tony Ferguson, and the 37-year-old has expressed a desire to box next.
Discussing rumoured negotiations between himself and Diaz, Paul told BT Sport of his fellow American: “I think he’s running. This guy, I think he’s ducking.
“We have the sweetest deal for him, and he knows the type of numbers I bring in. I’m not a quarter of a million [pay-per-view buys] type of fighter; you’re going to get 750,000 [to] 1 million buys, and I’m an 0-1 YouTuber. Seems like an easy fight on paper.” joey diez
