    That’s 2 guys from MMA boxing each other, not another boxer vs. MMA fight in the ring. Absurd price though.

    It’s honestly sad that MMA fighters have to resort to moving into boxing for better pay. This wouldn’t be an issue at all if Dana White and other MMA organizations would just pay those fighters.

    Pay per fight is better for the average journeyman but the big paydays in boxing dwarfs those in MMA.

    Why should Dana White increase their pay to unprofitable levels? In boxing pay is so high that most promoters don't even make money. Dana White is not stupid

    It would be ok for an under card bout at least they are the same experience and weight division.

    Masvidal and Diaz made good money during their careers... They're just jumping in on the freakshow boxing bandwagon.

    If Masvidal wins no doubt he will be chasing Jake Paul.

    Masvidal is a legit dude. I don't doubt he could have been a decent pro boxer had he decided to go that route. Much more skilled than the punching bag Nate Diaz.

    A Paul vs Masvidal fight has been brewing for a while now. Most likely happens next for Jake Paul.

    Maybe dana might have some sort of ploy behind not throwing millions at a bunch of fighters. keeping them hungry means the quality of fighter and fights get better.
    Loading them with money can be their downfall, look at Mcgregor, once he made the millions he had no real motivation to train hard let alone fight.
