Less than two weeks after Nate Diaz defeated Jorge Masvidal in a boxing match, a lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Miami on Monday claiming that Diaz is owed $9 million by promoter Soloman Engel and his company, Fanmio.
In a filing acquired by ESPN, Diaz claims that he entered an agreement with Engel and Fanmio to be paid $10 million for the fight against Masvidal with $1 million paid upfront and $9 million paid after the event. The lawsuit states that Engel is now reneging on the deal, claiming that the event is going to lose money.
