‘Rolled over like a b*tch’
In the video titled 'Jake Paul: Nate Diaz has rolled over like a b*tch ahead of boxing match' during the initial press conference, Diaz displayed a mostly cordial demeanor and even praised Paul for his transition from YouTuber to boxer. Diaz has refrained from taking the bait on Paul's attacks and has maintained a relatively low profile on social media throughout the build-up to the fight. With Diaz mostly remaining silent, Paul expresses disappointment that his opponent isn't actively engaging in the pre-fight verbal sparring.
Paul said to the MMA Junkie, “That’s what I wanted – that’s why I signed up for this – is to give the people a show and to squash this beef,” He further shared, “He talked a lot more sh*t to me before we signed up to fight. So, he’s kind of being a b*tch in that sense. I expected more out of him, and I expected him to carry that gangster attitude and to not take my insults. But he’s pretty much rolled over like a b*tch and has been quite boring, which pisses me off. But I’m used to carrying these promotions. It’s no different in this one.”
Further, Paul, expecting the successful event claimed, “I think it’s going to surprise everyone, This is the most amount of interest we’ve had in terms of ticket sales, live gate. We’re pretty much all sold out. The highest average ticket prices for any of my fights. The first time my opponent had this much traction on social media in terms of the posts he’s making about it. So I think it can exceed expectations. I would be happy with 400,000 or 500,000 (pay-per-view buys). But I’m also coming off of selling 830,000 with Tommy (Fury). So it could be even bigger. Nate Diaz is a bigger star than Tommy Fury. He has more experience in this game. Has sold millions of PPVs throughout his career. So it could shock us all.”
Paul also shared his stances on Nate’s team, “Nate’s team wanted it. They thought his cardio is superior to mine and they thought it would be an advantage to them to do a longer fight. They hit us up with the idea, and I said instantly, ‘Sure, let’s do it.’ To me, it just makes the fight more exciting. I’ve never back down from any opponent, any challenge, any fight, any request. So here we are. It does make the fight more interesting because of his cardio, and everyone knows he can take a lot of damage and keep coming forward. Even if I am winning in the early rounds, there could be an advantage to him in the later rounds.”
