How can Khabib afford his own promotion?

[Gracious Warrior]

I could believe it if Conor opened his own mma promotion, but Khabib doesn't have Conor money. So how can Khabib afford to do this: pay fighters, production costs, venue costs, and other fees. It must take a few million I reckon. So where did he get the money?

Probably has investors. He's just the figurehead because he brings name value.

They don't pay enough, Khabib can only afford one MMA org.

 

[IloveTHIS]

He has some very, very wealthy and powerful friends

He bought GFC for 1M last year. And you don’t need «Conor money » to buy a business anyway.
And yes he has investors, deals. This is how you do business. He doesn’t run it on his own.

 

[M.U.S.C.L.E.]

He bought an existing promotion for $1 million.
Look it up.

 

[DoNoootin]

Lol I doubt it's his own personal money. He might put some in but people get investors for shit like this. So it's probably other people's money.

Khabib made over 20 mil from selling ppvs in the UFC. Add in sponsorships, appearances etc and then consider the cost of living in dagestan. Khabib is a bawler now

 

[campbecc]

Most people who buy or start a business do it with other investors. Conor for instance didn't own anywhere near 100% of proper 12 he invested some of the money and was probably given more shares for being the spokesman, it's probably the same with Khabib

Look it up.

Jesus an entire promotion for Conor's public appearance fee

He most likely gets finances from Russian/Arab oligarchs. That's how most MMA-finances are handled over there. He's been close to billionaires like Ziyavudin Magomedov and Ramzan Kadyrov for a long while now. And the Fight Island deal was a lot about Princes wanting to see Khabib. He's also been doing some big sponsorship work in Russia/Central Asia.

Probably friends with a lot of money.

There are reports that Khabib has $40+ million dollars in net worth, and I've heard of people saying he may have over $100 million.. you are seriously underrating the wealth of Khabib... Of course he can do it.. the guy is a power house for the middle east, Russia, Dagestan, the muslim culture.. this guy will get deals and money on anything his name is attached to

Dana did not have money either.
He had some very wealthy friends though (Fertitas).
Same here.
Khabib might not have money enough to start his own promotion, but his fame got him dome good connections with wealthy people. They enter with the money, he enters with his face recognition. Both benefit.

 

[Haj01]

that russian mafia / arab money

 

[Sycho Sid]

If you think khabib is paying for all of this out of his own pocket, you don't have a very good idea of how business works

 

[DavidThornby]

Its Russian and Arab money but with Khabib being the figurehead of the promotion. Its same with the UFC and Dana.

Khabib one of those few guys who got paid a shit tons by the UFC
