Paul had laughed off the money Drake lost over his February wager. “F***. This is Drake’s fault,” Paul said.“Drake, bro, why did you do this to me.”Paul, Diaz trade blows at weigh inThere was a brief moment during the weigh-ins where it seemed like the warring fighters may have been about to show respect to each other — then that all quickly changed when Nate Diaz started to taunt his rival. The duo haven’t held back in the lead-up to their Texas grudge match, which will be ten rounds at 185 pounds.Diaz gave just as good as he got in the war of words that came after they’d stepped on the scales. “No matter how the fight goes, let’s not forget – this motherf***er can’t really fight. This motherf***er,” he said. On the scales, Paul slapped his chest, made a throat-slitting emoji, and roared: “Let’s f***ing go!”But he wasn’t happy at the crowd favouring his rival, saying: “Boo yourself, virgins. Boo if you’re a virgin.” As they continued, he added: “Oh you guys are virgins? Oh, s**t.”Final press conference ends in anarchyJake Paul claimed a member of his entourage was assaulted during the crazy scenes that ended the final press event before Sunday’s fight.Paul was posing on stage after the media formalities when rival security guards started to push and shove on stage.Some punches were thrown while others tried to quell the situation.Paul took to Twitter afterwards to say Diaz’s team was claiming an assault took place.“Nate’s team has emailed my team trying to claim assault after his team swung first,” he wrote on Twitter.“Apparently the guy who swung first is at the hospital getting stitches.
