What did Jake Paul's Betr Media employee Derek Sullivan say to Nate Diaz?

Derek Sullivan of Betr Media (and Jake Paul's employee) found his moment in the sun when he decided to call out Nick Diaz to a boxing match, by conveying it through the younger Diaz brother at the press conference for their upcoming boxing fight on August 5th.

Going by the way Sullivan went about the whole thing, one can make the argument that he was doing it in jest. However, where the Diaz brothers come from, in their own words, 'people like that get smacked' for talking like that.

Here's how Sullivan issued the call-out:

"Nate, I'm actually a boxer, myself, and I've been trying to get into this undercard. I'm just wondering if you think I could fight your brother, Nick. If he's anything like you, I think I'd beat his f*****g ass."

Nate Diaz vs. Derek Sullivan on the mic:

Here's how Diaz responded:

"Brother, what are you, just going to walk around the streets or some s**t. You know [that] all my homeboys [are] seeing you right now? That was stupid, huh? What's your name? Hey, Derek from Betr Media, [you] stupid a**. You need to get your a** whipped."

Jake Paul, while he seemed amused at first, might have been slightly embarrassed and interjected into the argument, apologizing to Diaz and promising to fire Derek Sullivan from Betr Media.
