During a conversation with journalists before the EFC 50 tournament in Nur-Sultan, the president of the organization Shamil Zavurov said he was not ready to pay Alexander Emelianenko 10 million rubles for a performance, and also named the highest paid fighter in the organization.
– Costs Alexandra Emelianenko they call 10 million rubles, are you ready to pay that much?
– Not. I think that’s a lot. But we can negotiate – it’s his bar, we also have our own bar. We are going to talk, sit down, I think we will arrive at a (denominator) in any case.
I’m not saying he’s not worth 10 million, he might be worth 20 million. I said the league wasn’t ready to pay him that much. We make our offer: if the fighter accepts, then he accepts. If no, then no.
Who is the highest paid fighter in the league?
— Shlemenko . At least as far as I know. How much they paid in America – these are questions for Rizvan [Магомедову, отвечает за продвижение лиги в США]I don’t know there.
Shlemenko had his only fight in the EFC league in October last year, beating Artur Huseynov by unanimous decision.
