Tajik MMA fighter Chorshanbe Chorshanbiev has a financial debt to AMC Fight Nights, promotion president Kamil Gadzhiev told reporters at the Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov Memorial Tournament in Saratov.
— Chorshanbe Chorshanbiev is being deported from Russia. How strong is this blow to Russian pop-MMA?
– Firstly, whether they will be deported or not is a big question. Secondly, this is not a blow to pop MMA, because, as it seems to me, Chorshanbe is far from being the most talked about character. The hype around him has calmed down a bit, and this is probably due to the fact that he does not perform. If he did, then yes. Therefore, it is not seen and heard especially, and what is there …
– You once called Chorshanbe an AMC Fight Nights project.
— So it was.
“I wonder if you still help him?” Or have you cut ties with him already?
– No, I actually cooled down a lot towards Chorshanbe, because when it came time to fulfill my obligations, Chorshanbe blew it.
– Can you elaborate?
– Specifically, he received a fee for the fight and the percentage that Fight Nights relied on under the contract, I’m not talking about a simple male handshake that was, he didn’t pay it. He did not pay and found some reasons, but we sat down and talked, and it became clear that he should pay this money. He disappeared somewhere again, he does not get in touch – neither he nor his manager. I just got cold to him.
– Is it appropriate to say that Chorshanbe threw AMC Fight Nights?
– No, Chorshanbe will throw Fight Nights exactly on the day when he says that he refuses to pay this money, but he didn’t say so. He said that he would fight later and give back. Until after that, he had no fights. Let’s see how his words do not diverge from the deed.
Are you ready to forgive him this amount?
– Of course not. Why should I forgive? You understand what’s the matter: a person brings what he should bring to you – I’m not only talking about MMA, but in general – you take this money from him, shake his hand, say that he’s done well, and immediately get this money back to him you give. Because he did what he had to do as a man and a decent person. And what to do is your right. I’m not saying that this would be the case with Chorshanbe, but at least I would be pleased that he fulfills his obligations. I repeat, he has such a chance, since he seems to have said that he will have the next fight, and he will do everything there. If so, then well done, if not, we will speak another language. Maybe in purely legal language. Let’s see. The fact is that I don’t have any history of relationships with him, I saw him three times in my life, I don’t have any emotions for him to go, be disappointed or sort it out. No. The lawyer will prepare the paper, we will send it, and let him butt heads. And there really is no chance. Paper is paper.
