Jerry Millen, the Manager of the famous Russian fighter of MMA Fedor Emelianenko, explained why, in his opinion, the athlete has stopped cooperation with a promoter Vadim Finkelstein. In 2009, Emelianenko had a fight with Andrei Orlovsky. The Russians got for bout $ 300 thousand, and his opponent $ 1.5 million.
“I do not remember how Fedor got, but I’m sure Vadim Finkelstein has stolen most of it. This was the problem. Because paid M-1 and a Fedora.
There were reasons why Vadim Finkelstein has ceased to be the Manager of Fedor. He got a lot more than Orlovsky. They paid M-1 because … I don’t know why I left M-1.
They were forced Fedor. Did Vadim, he took money from him. Fedor did not receive a share of the tournament Affliction. M-1 could, but I doubt it… She was paid only by the promoter contract.
In General, the M-1 was rather confusing, Vadim was playing around with accounting, sponsorship money. I didn’t want to participate in such” — quoted Millena Allboxing.
