Datsik's manager on how much his fighter earned after prison release

Yakov Letov, the manager of Vyacheslav Datsik, described how his purses changed after his release from prison.

"When Tarasov fought Datsik at the Battle of the Hype, Amiran paid Tarasov three hundred thousand rubles, and I paid Datsik three hundred thousand. At that time it was the biggest purse in pop-MMA, and many professional fighters at the time said, 'Why do they need such money? Since Vyacheslav was last out of prison, he has never fought to have a purse of less than a million. For his fights against Tyson Dijon, T-34, he got a million rubles. For the fight with Kofi King - more than a million"
