Khabib S Manager Says He Wants 50 Million For Next Fight

He goes on, in characteristically bold fashion: “Come on, man! You have a guy meeting with Putin, [President of Turkey] Erdogan. And, the other guy selling liquor on the corner store. It’s not even in the f**king same planet.” Of course, Ali’s claim that Khabib has now become a “global superstar” on a completely different planet from McGregor doesn’t mean that a rematch is impossible. He says that Khabib would be happy to beat McGregor down again — if the price is right, naturally. And as we all know, there are prices in the world of mixed martial arts that go beyond money: “I really want to see [Conor] drink his own blood … He talked a lot of sh*t. He didn’t back it up. Embarrassed himself in front of his whole beautiful country of Ireland, his father, his mother, his wife.” That was a bit of a change from some of Ali’s earlier statements to the press, particularly a recent boast that McGregor doesn’t deserve a rematch with Khabib on the grounds that “he’s a quitter.” But, the fight world will just have to wait and see if Abdelaziz really gets Khabib a $50 million check for his next fight, or if a Khabib/McGregor rematch is in the cards. But to see things from Abdelaziz’s point of view, both things seem to be almost inevitable.
