Nick Diaz Signs Boxing Deal
Posted by Admin on August 14, 2009
After deliberately avoiding a scheduled drug test, Strikeforce’s Nick Diaz has reportedly sign a boxing contract with fight promoter Don Chargin.
Chargin is obviously happy to handle the controversy of both signing an MMA fighter and drug issues, and is already spouting forth marketing gibberish:
“I know the signing of a mixed martial arts fighter might be considered controversial by many boxing fans across the world. When the subject of mixed martial arts versus boxing arises, it always comes down to the boxer winning a boxing match easily and vice versa for MMA. However, after having seen the replays of Diaz’s fights over the course of his career, I truly believe that this kid has what it takes to really make for some very entertaining fights within boxing. While some would state that he’s merely a slugger possessing a good chin and a heavy work-rate, there’s something about his rhythm and fighting intelligence that really caught my eye.”
