Paul would be a mid tier professional boxer and that is being generous. Both Canelo and Tyson would get rid of him in under 3 rounds if everything was on the up and up. Guys hype gets everybody paid and you can't hate on him for that.
It will likely be much more. Paul & Diaz get a cut of PPV, gate, merchandise on top of their guarantee. $500K for PPV is incorrect. Paul claims to have made $30M for the Fury fight, which knowing how he talks it's probably half that, but still prob. $10-$15M. PPV projections were supposed to be higher for this fight than the Fury fight. I bet after it's all said and done they both make $10-$15M.
Diaz camp saying they want more than the $10M they're offering him to fight Paul in PFL in an MMA fight.
