During a recent episode of Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, Khabib Nurmagomedov revealed that he was offered $100 million to fight Floyd Mayweather and that he rejected the bout because he doesn’t make decisions based on money...
quote:
“I don’t wanna make boxing community upset with me. Of course money makes sense too. But I never fight for money,” Nurmagomedov said, via Daily Mail. “Money is good, but most of the time it is bad.”
Nurmagomedov believes an absurd amount of money, like $100 million, could change a person’s behavior. At the end of the day, he strictly cares about his legacy in the octagon.
“Money brings you to the situation that you have never been, and you don’t know how to act when you have so much money,” Nurmagomedov continued. “It is a little bit dangerous. In this business, I don’t come to make money. I come here for legacy.”
