Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal Prize Money, Purses Revealed Ahead of Boxing Fight

The payouts for Saturday's fight between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal have been revealed.

Per MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew, Diaz will earn a $500,000 guaranteed purse while Masvidal will net $300,000 before pay-per-view sales.

The fight, which will be the second time the two former UFC stars have fought but their first time in a boxing ring, takes place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, at 9 p.m. ET Saturday night as part of the Last Man Standing fight.

It's unsurprising to see Diaz earn such a high purse given he's headlining the event, but Masvidal's significantly lower purse isn't even the second-highest among fighters on Saturday.

Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will take home the second-highest purse on Saturday at $350,000, followed by Masvidal. Pettis will face Chris Avila in the featured bout, where Avila will take home a $210,000 purse.

Diaz's massive purse money comes despite him losing his only professional boxing match against Jake Paul last August. Diaz also lost his matchup with Masvidal at UFC 244 in 2019 after a doctor's stoppage.

Meanwhile, Masvidal comes into the fight having lost his previous four UFC fights and having only boxed once professionally. His only boxing match came in 2005 when he beat Joseph Benjamin.
