No, I just meant they should downgrade the fight and the money, if necessary, but obviously not down to $20K.
Diaz doesn't really want the fight and will only do it for big money. Conor would do it for less because it's his reputation that he's fighting to regain.
But there another factor that I think may sway the UFC's hand. Dana didn't want Conor to do the rematch, I guess because he's afraid Conor will get beaten again. Conor wants the rematch but Dana wants him to play it safe and go back down to his weight division.
I think Dana may use this as a way to kill the rematch, in the hope of prolonging Conor's career. Another loss to Diaz and Conor might retire.
