Ex-UFC Fighter Nate Diaz Offered Massive Deal To Fight Jake Paul In PFL
Nate Diaz has been offered a huge deal to fight Jake Paul under the PFL banner, but he has not committed to the offer.
PFL MMA has been making some big moves, most notably the signing of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. The promotion also signed Paul to a PPV Super Fight Division deal and is hoping to book him against Diaz.

PFL founder Donn Davis recently appeared on "The MMA Hour" and said that while a lucrative contract remains on the table for Nate Diaz, the Stockton native hasn't responded.
"Look, I respect Nate 'cause he's the people's champ," Davis said. "He's a man's man, his standup is all standup, but he said, 'I'll do it in the PFL SmartCage' two minutes to you after the fight. He's got a standing offer of between 10 and 15 million, and he's hiding behind a rock."
Back in August, Paul took a unanimous decision victory over Diaz in a boxing match. Despite the win, "The Problem Child" has been pushing for a rematch with Diaz, this time under MMA rules.
Diaz hasn't expressed much interest in fighting for any MMA promotion outside of the UFC. He has also said that he needs a co-promotion deal with his Real Fight Inc. company in order for the rematch to happen.
