Head of AMC Fight Nights Kamil Gadjiev speaking about football media bloggers’ fees, he gave an example Magomed Ismailova who receives significantly more than other top middleweights in Russia.
On Friday in Moscow, during the AMC Fight Nights 123 tournament, a fight took place between media football bloggers, during which Andrei Aleshin (known by his nickname Sibskana) lost to Artem Kuzminov (Raizen) by unanimous decision. In promoting this fight, both fighters stated that they would each earn five million rubles. In the main fight of the show, Alexander Sarnavsky defeated Magomed Sulumov by third-round choke and won the lightweight belt.
— I was very afraid it would be worse (speaking of the fight between bloggers). Honestly, the fight turned out better than I expected. They are really awesome!
— Sulumov and Sarnavsky together received less for the fight than Raizen and Sibskana?
– Yes, less.
— Doesn’t this discredit MMA? Two great lightweights met.
— Logan Paul earns more than the UFC champion. Doesn’t this discredit MMA? Everything here is very conditional. Only famous people fight, names are monetized here. Let’s put it another way… What, Magomed Ismailov is the best middleweight in Russia? And he earns five times more than other very good middleweights. Because in fact, that’s how it is.
— Did Raizen and Sibskana earn their money?
— It seems to me that in general yes. They paid half of the money immediately, and the second half was a delayed effect that we are still waiting for,” reports the correspondent of , reporting Gadjiev’s words.
