In a highly-anticipated rematch, Nate Diaz is set to earn a larger guaranteed purse than his opponent, Jorge Masvidal, for their upcoming boxing match at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

The fight between Diaz and Masvidal serves as a continuation of their previous encounter at UFC 244, where a "BMF" champion was crowned. Despite Diaz's loss in that fight, their purses for this rematch appear to be unaffected by the outcome.

According to the California State Athletic Commission, Diaz will take home a guaranteed purse of $500,000, making him the highest-paid fighter on the card. In contrast, Masvidal will net $300,000 before factoring in pay-per-view sales.

Interestingly, Masvidal is not even the second-highest earner for the event. Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, who is set to face Chris Avila in the evening's featured bout, will be earning a guaranteed $350,000. Avila, on the other hand, is set to earn $210,000, making it the fourth-highest purse on the card.

Even former boxing world champion Daniel Jacobs, who is set to fight Shane Mosely Jr., will earn a relatively smaller purse of $100,000. However, Jacobs incurred a penalty of 20 percent of his purse for missing weight, with half of the fine going to Mosely Jr.

While the provided figures represent the base salaries of the fighters, it is important to note that they do not account for additional revenue streams, such as sponsorship deals and pay-per-view earnings, which are not publicly disclosed.

The rematch between Diaz and Masvidal promises to be an exhilarating clash between two skilled fighters. With Diaz earning the highest base salary for the event, fans eagerly anticipate how this financial dynamic may affect the fighters' motivation to claim victory in the ring.
