There’s $10 million dollars sitting on the table for Nate or Jorge if they’re willing to step into the PFL cage and fight Jake Paul in his MMA debut.

Jake Paul is fighting Mike Tyson this summer in what looks like it’ll be one of the biggest combat sports events of the year. On the side, he’s still trying to lure an opponent into the PFL cage for his MMA debut ... not that he’s having much luck on that front.

Paul initially hoped to rematch Nate Diaz after winning a decision over the Stockton fighter in August 2023, but Diaz refused. Not even a multi-million dollar offer could draw him to the negotiating table. With the list of bankable fighters in free agency extremely low, that’s left “The Problem Child” with a problem.

“I’m being so serious when I say I want to fight them in MMA,” Paul said in a new YouTube video. “Either Masvidal or Diaz, in the PFL. $10 million dollar offer for either one of those guys.”

Masvidal isn’t interested, either.

“Masvidal’s like ‘You can’t even box, what the f*ck are you going to do coming over into MMA bro, I’m from Miami, Florida bro! Don’t disrespect me you joke!’” Paul said. “F—ing bird brain, that’s what he hides behind. Same with Paddy [Pimblett] and Sean Strickland and all these guys hide behind these crazy things. But still none of them have shown up to the table to talk any business about anything to make anything actually happen in a real fight, a real spar, whatever it is.”

“So the offer still stands there, I want either one of those guys in MMA.”

Paul would also accept a boxing fight with Jorge Masvidal, who is currently on a three-fight boxing tour before returning to the UFC. Unfortunately, Jake says he’s not on the list of ‘approved’ opponents for “Gamebred.”

“UFC gave Masvidal a list of 35 names that he was allowed to box,” Paul claimed. “He’s technically still under UFC contract so they’re letting him out of his contract to box Nate, but there were 35 other names and I was not on it.”

Jake’s brother Logan is, though. Too bad Logan is currently retired from boxing.

At least Jake Paul has some time to figure things out. He’s boxing Mike Tyson on July 20th, and then intends to spend six months learning MMA.

“I gotta fight Mike but I would just do it after that,” he said. “I would do a six month camp.”

Sounds like easy money for anyone legally capable of accepting the fight.
