MMA fighter Alexander Emelianenko, in an interview with his manager Azamat Bostanov, spoke about unsuccessful negotiations for a fight with Sergey Kharitonov.
According to “SE”, the management of the casino in Minsk planned to organize two fights between Emelianenko and Kharitonov – one according to the rules of MMA, the other according to the rules of boxing. Kharitonov, in an interview with SE, said that Emelianenko had requested too high a fee.
– I asked not the way Khariton asked – with casino chips. So that they would pay off with him. So that he later, in the same place in Belarus, without leaving the cash desk, lost everything on roulette, ”Emelianenko told Bostanov. – I asked for sky-high fees in real money. We came to a common opinion with the organizers. They agreed to the terms. They are very interested in having two fights [Емельяненко с Харитоновым] — boxing and MMA. I said: “I’ll have two fights with Kharitonov without any problems.” We agreed, and somewhere they disappeared. I don’t know why they told Kharitonov this information. Although you remember – we were sitting at the table with them, and they said: “Just don’t tell Serezha, just don’t tell Serezha what we were talking about.” Some kind of messy. Maybe the Cossacks were mishandled, left-handed passengers.
– But are you ready for the fight with Kharitonov?
– Certainly. Ready to send again [в нокаут]. And hello to you Serezha.
