Drake bet 0,000 on Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul 👀 pic.twitter.com/1hAlb6lvb9Before the intriguing boxing match played out, ‘Champagne Papi’ revealed he placed a 0,000 bet on Diaz to defeat Paul, which would have paid out ,000,000. He showcased the bet slip on his temporary Instagram story and had this to say about his reasoning:
Although Diaz’s boxing debut didn’t go as planned, he has plenty of intriguing matchups waiting for him in the UFC. The 38-year-old’s last Octagon fight was in September 2022, when he defeated Tony Ferguson by a fourth-round submission, extending his promotional record to 16-11.
“Yeah, whatever. Shoutout to Drake. Love for the love, I appreciate it. You know what I’m saying, what the f*ck, aye, someone break that curse. What’s happening, f*ck that curse.”— Best MMA Moments (@XcellentMMA) August 6, 2023
“The Drake Curse” has become popular over the past few years, with fans claiming the rapper’s support for teams/athletes leads to them losing. During the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz post-fight interview, Diaz was made aware that he was allegedly a victim of the curse. The Stockton native responded by saying:
Unfortunately for the world-renowned rapper, Diaz failed to emerge victorious as ‘The Problem Child’ secured a unanimous decision win (98-91 x2 and 97-92). Paul’s victory against the Stockton native advanced his professional boxing record to 7-1.

This isn’t the first time Drake has wrongly predicted a boxing match featuring Paul. In February of this year, the 36-year-old rapper placed a 0,000 bet on ‘The Problem Child’ to knock out Tommy Fury, which would have paid out ,440,000. After eight rounds of action, Fury had his hand raised with a split-decision scorecard (76-73 x2 and 74-75).
