Jake Paul says there is silence on Nate Diaz's end despite being offered $10 million for an MMA fight

Jake Paul and Nate Diaz's boxing matchup went the social media star's way but there was numerous talks before and after the bout to do the whole thing again in Diaz's forte, a mixed martial arts setting.

Paul addressed the rematch in a recent interview with Dan Rafael on Fight Freak Unite and mentioned that despite a $10 million offer on the table, Diaz and his team have not responded:

"I wanted to run it [back] in MMA. But you had the $10 million offer to him and there's still silence on his end other than some, you know, tweets that he's clearly high... I think he got the paycheck from our fight like, 'Wow, that's big. That's massive.' And then wants to do it again but is just not willing to risk it in MMA." [4:25 - 4:53]

Paul continued that he was confident of a dominant victory once again and that Diaz was trying to avoid a similar fate as their boxing bout:

"He knows what would happen there [in a mixed martial arts bout] and I believe I would clearly dominate him and ruin his legacy, so I don't think he's willing to risk it for the money." [4:55 - 5:03]
