A. Nurmagomedov: Khabib to lose $2-3 million if he fights McGregor in Russia

The fight of UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and former owner of the title Conor McGregor in Russia would lead to a loss of 2-3 million dollars due to the lack of a paid broadcast system in the country, the father and coach of the Dagestani sportsman Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov said.

"If we fight in Russia, then without a percentage of the deductions from the PPV, we will lose from two to three million dollars," Nurmagomedov said. “Broadcasting in Russia is very difficult to sell, and the owner of the championship belt receives two to three percent of the revenue for paid broadcast of the fight. And on this we lose from two to three million dollars."

"When McGregor is ready," the coach added, answering the question of when the fight might go. “We are now on the move. While he was waiting, we already took the UFC championship belt. Next, he will not be able to wait, if he wants to become a champion, then he must take the belt from Khabib."
