NATE DIAZ STATES WWE TRIED TO GET HIM TO BOX LOGAN PAUL

In an interview with ESPN, former UFC fighter Nate Diaz's management team noted there was "an interesting and attractive offer" to have him fight Logan Paul in a boxing match sometime back but then WWE got involved and Diaz refused the fight. 

Diaz noted "The WWE came in and then they wanted to take over the whole thing. And I'm like, 'I just got out of the UFC, why am I going to sign with WWE?' I fight for real. I'm not gonna be doing a real fight on a WWE card or no funny s--- like that."

Logan responded calling it a "weak cop-out". 

"You can still be a real fighter with the biggest sports organization in the world promoting your fight. It's a little lame to me, and I can definitely sell more tickets. I see what he's doing. I'm the harder fight. I'm the bigger brother, I'm the stronger brother, I'm the faster brother."

WWE did not respond to comment on that claim.
