Logan Paul has fought some very impressive opponents in the boxing ring and WWE. The Maverick’s brother, Jake Paul, is set to fight Nate Diaz on the same day as SummerSlam, but Diaz apparently also received another entertaining offer.
On August 5th in Dallas, Texas, Nate Diaz is set to step into the boxing ring against Jake Paul. Interestingly, Diaz also received an offer to face Logan Paul. It’s unclear if that match will actually happen.
According to Zach Rosenfield, the President of Real Fight Inc., who spoke with ESPN, Diaz was presented with a “very interesting and attractive offer” to fight Logan Paul. In the end, it was WWE’s involvment that turned Diaz off as Nate commented on the situation.
“The WWE came in and then they wanted to take over the whole thing. And I’m like, ‘I just got out of the UFC, why am I going to sign with WWE?’ I fight for real. I’m not gonna be doing a real fight on a WWE card or no funny sh*t like that.”
Logan Paul also commented to say, “You can still be a real fighter with the biggest sports organization in the world promoting your fight. It’s a little lame to me, and I can definitely sell more tickets. I see what he’s doing. I’m the harder fight. I’m the bigger brother, I’m the stronger brother, I’m the faster brother.”
WWE’s merger with the UFC is expected to be finalized in the second half of 2023. That new TKO Holdings Group under Endeavor could be a game changer, but it didn’t help facilitate this fight.
