MMAFighting.com<\/a> that while the two sides aren\u2019t at odds, he wishes Perry would\u2019ve trusted his plan.<\/p>\n\u201cHonestly we didn\u2019t have much to do with that at all,\u201d Feldman said. \u201cI wish him the best of luck, I really do. These guys are going in there and risking their lives to make money and he\u2019s going to make money and I\u2019m happy for him there. But it wasn\u2019t something that we were involved in, and it didn\u2019t go down the way I wanted it to go down, to be quite frank.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Our relationships is] good. I wanted something different. I had something in the works, and they chose to do this instead, because they had the one out on it. They chose to do this instead. I had something really big planned, huge planned for them, and they chose to do this instead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perry figures to be in for a significant payday against Diaz for MVP\u2019s first MMA event. MVP has promoted a slew of notable boxing stars, and co-owner Jake Paul has been adamant about paying MMA fighters what they\u2019re worth.<\/p>\n
As far as what Perry might do after his bout with Diaz, a win would certainly boost his stock, but a loss wouldn\u2019t necessarily hurt him given his popularity and reputation for having exciting fights.<\/p>\n
