Nick Diaz Talks About Manny Pacquiao

Question

This interview was Nick Diaz flipping out and saying "I just want to get paid. Pacquiao's making forty fu'kn million dollars. ... I'm over here driving a Honda because my $hitz is breaking down."
Go to 56 seconds on this LINK ! Diaz had 1 pro boxing bout in 2005.

All I have to say is... don't be hating because you chose to fight MMA at StrikeForce. People say MMA is taking over Boxing, maybe in live attendance shows, but worldwide, especially USA & Europe. MMA gets many endorsements (unlike boxing), but they get Salaries uncomparable to top paid boxers. Top MMA salaries are just over a million, and Lesnar was at near $6 Million, yet Mayweather with a comeback against Marquez and Mosley made $60 Million. That money isn't coming from promoters pockets, but the fans getting pick-pocketed!

you mean that lesnar has made 6 million throughout his whole career,(and this includes endorsments) not just in one fight   comparing mma to boxing is like comparing rugby to the NFL, it&#x27;s simply not close right now,  I have wrote many times about this topic and I do have a lot to say but I have no desire to get into it right now.

MMA and boxing are night and day, MMA is day.

They are worlds apart. I remember in Vegas, young kids were stating (2005 or so) how MMA is the future and in a few years Boxing we will be a memory. Told them I would be nice because they were young, but they have no clue what they are talking about. Politics and cash flow generation keeps control... when they learn that, then come and discuss with some knowledge!
