Nonetheless, what could be the reason for Diaz’s unwillingness? As per Paul, Diaz is making baseless claims for the match.

Jake Paul explains why Diaz is ducking the fight

Jake Paul recently engaged in a conversation with Ariel Helwani. Paul explained that Diaz is not willing to fight him “I’m not sure if I’d use the word “close.” I think there was a point where there was genuine interest from his team in making it happen, and then there was just radio silence after that.” Said Jake Paul.

He further added “Now he’s calling it the PFL and all this stuff. It’s like, okay, bro, you either want to make this happen or not. He’s saying, “Oh, we’ll do it under real fight.” That’s not a real thing, by the way. We taught them about the business, and how to run their operation, and we let them put their logos on the mat. They don’t have a promotion. They don’t have any infrastructure. They don’t have the funding to make any event possible. 

Paul emphasized that Diaz’s unwillingness to fight him might cost him millions of dollars So what do you think would be the outcome if this epic MMA fight is ever to happen?
