Russian promoter Kamil Hajiyev believes that Croatian mixed martial arts master Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic will earn at least $1 million from a fight with Russian Fedor Emelianenko.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to MMA.Metaratings.ru.
"A fight between Cro Cop and Emelianenko is a brand in itself, and money must be paid for the brand. I think Cro Cop will earn at least $1 million," Hajiyev said.
Let us remind you that Filipovic has already faced Emelianenko in the ring. Their fight took place in 2005 at the "Pride" tournament and ended with the victory of the Russian athlete by unanimous decision.
