Russian MMA fighter Valery Myasnikov who participates in bare-knuckle fights, named in an interview with the approximate amount of the fight against Daud Kelbikhanov at the RCC Hard tournament.
32-year-old Myasnikov (16 wins, 3 losses, 2 draws in MMA) won his third bare-knuckle fight by first-round knockout against boxing master Kelbikhanov. The fight took place on November 18 in Yekaterinburg during the RCC Hard tournament.
— Did your first three fist fights give you more than your last three MMA fights?
— If you do not take the bonus, then yes (in December 2021, Myasnikov received a bonus of 50 thousand dollars in the ASA league – approximately “”), I earned more in fists than in MMA.
—You received more than a million rubles, but less than two for this fight, didn’t you?
– Yes. I like. Even if we always want more. A lot of people say, “I’m fighting for the public.” » But in fact, I know that everyone then asks the question: “How much? I’m not a 15 year old boy to fight for medals, I’m tired of this experience. I need to feed my family, I want to improve my quality of life, I invest a lot in my health, in my training.
— How much does good preparation cost?
– Now I was completely broke, I got into heavy debt because I was growing my business – I opened a personal room in Lobnya. And all the money was going into it, there was even some pressure, I understood that if the fight failed for any reason, it would be very bad. So I would estimate the preparation between 200 and 300 thousand rubles. But somehow I try to overlap as best I can. My managers, Vladimir Myshev and Vitaly Tarasov, address some issues related to the same sports nutrition. They can help pay the fees,” Myasnikov told .
