The promotion “Our Business” will hold a tournament in Chelyabinsk on August 23, in the main fight of which the winner of the ACA Grand Prix in lightweights Eduard Vartanyan and Alexander Grozin will meet. Currently, former fighters of the PFL, M-1 and UFC promotions Viktor Nemkov, Shamil Gamzatov, Khadis Ibragimov and others perform in “Our Business”.
— In the UFC, everyone understands the minimum contract amount, it’s ten thousand dollars for a fight and the same amount for a win. Is there a minimum contract amount for a professional fighter in the “Our Business” league?
— In general, people are ready to fight for free in “Our Cause” in order to show themselves, but here we proceed from the interests of the organization. And we try to pay the fees in which a person will be interested in moving and will feel comfortable, but without overestimating them. We do not have a minimum rate; the minimum that we currently pay under the contract is probably 60 plus 60 thousand rubles.
— Did I understand correctly that 90% of your contracts follow the same pattern as in the UFC: it’s the amount for the exit and the same amount for the victory?
— The vast majority of contracts are of this type, but there are some where the fixed part is more important or the price is higher.
—Of those sitting at the table at the press conference today, who is the highest paid fighter in the league?
— Edouard Vartanian.
– And in second position?
“It is probably Viktor Nemkov and Khadis Ibragimov,” Gulyan told .
Earlier, in an interview with , Vartanyan estimated his minimum fee at 15 million rubles.
