The famous Russian wrestler, Habib Nurmagomedov, revealed that he had received a series of attractive offers to return to the wrestling ring, including a very large Saudi offer.
Although the international superstar has retired from the fighting arena, he is still highly sought after by the sponsors of this sport, which is followed by millions around the world with great passion.
Habib’s business manager revealed, during an interview with the “Hotboxin” program, that the hero Habib received very generous offers to participate in new fights.
The business manager of the retired hero, Ali Abdel Aziz, discussed some of the recent offers that were made. One of them was from “Dana White”, in order to take on the opponent, Georges St-Pierre.
According to the statements, Habib also received a very large offer of $ 100 million for a boxer, Floyd Mayweather.
“$100 million – $100 million, you can ask the wrestler Floyd, you can ask everyone,” Abdulaziz said.
And in turn, the retired hero Habib said during an interview with “RT Sport”, commenting on this generous offer he received from an unspecified Saudi side: “No, I am retired. I told my mother that I am retired. I will keep my promise to my mother. If my mother asks me to fight again, Maybe I will. But now, she asked me not to fight.”
During a press interview, Habib Nur Mammadov said, “The temptation is always there.. There were such discussions in Saudi Arabia. They wanted me to fight there. I don’t know about $100 million. This was not the exact amount … but the talk was about that”.
According to the “mmamania” website, which specializes in wrestling news, Saudi Arabia participates in the (UFC) tournaments when they are held in Abu Dhabi, but Habib’s mother is the one who is now in charge, either allowing him to participate in the fight again, or rejecting this big offer.
