Diaz reiterated how he felt his drawing power was being underestimated by the promotional powers that be and that he believed he had earned a bigger paycheck with his upset victory over 'The Notorious' in March.
He said: "We went to lunch and we had a talk and everything went how it did and they went home. I just basically told them what was up. 'Listen that was the second biggest fight they had, on 10 days (notice)' Everyone knows that Conor McGregor's a big draw, but I know that I do bigger numbers than everybody too, they just haven't put me on PPVs, they've been putting me on Fox cards and any time I've been on a PPV, I've been on a co-main event or something so someone else has been getting credit for my numbers.
"If you look at my Fox numbers, I was getting between 3 million and 5 million views. So, I think I had a lot to do with that draw.
"So I said, 'That was one of the biggest fights you've had on 10 days notice and he's your biggest draw and I beat him, so if you don't mind I would like to be compensated better than I was the last time or that they were trying to offer me. I've said yes to this fight with Conor McGregor six times and I won the one time I fought him. So you're giving me this up and down bullshit about whatever."
