An hour removed from the biggest win of his career over B.J. Penn, Nick Diaz should've been jubilant, but he's not wired that way. Diaz entered the UFC 137 postfight press conference looking annoyed and got more agitated.
Over the next 35 minutes, he complained about anything and everything. First and foremost was the money he's making. Watch Diaz make the claim here that he doesn't get paid enough to take care of his training partners (2:12 mark). Diaz brought up boxing's pay scale several times.
Eventually, Dana White couldn't take anymore and snapped back. That's when Diaz's manager Cesar Gracie hopped in (8:28 mark).
Diaz reportedly made $200,000 to show last night and earned another $75,000 for Fight of the Night. He made $175,000 for his win over Paul Daley in April. For his victory over Evangelista Santos, Diaz was paid $150,000. He got $50,000 for that fight before that against KJ Noons.
Where has all this money gone? Or do you agree with Diaz that he's getting screwed?
