Chapter 348 Million Dollar Super Wrestling Grand Prix

In the afternoon, Suo Gang went to the hospital for examination and found out. He had a slight concussion and probably had to recuperate for at least one month.

Seeing that Suo Gang had no big problems, Yi Dun was relieved to leave the training base.

As soon as I got home, I heard Tong Yangling bringing good news that the company had been registered.

The legal person is Tong Yangling himself, with a registered capital of 2 million.

Originally, Tong Yangling wanted Yi Dun to be a legal person, but Yi Dun himself was a contestant. If he was a legal person who operated the event company, it would be inappropriate no matter how he looked.

In addition to Tong Yangling, shareholders also include Xia Jiuli and Wang Yaping. These two have been following Yi Dun for so long. After discussing with Yi Dun, Tong Yangling decided to give these two people five points of equity.

In this way, Yiyang Sports Development Co., Ltd. was officially established.

Yi Dun immediately called Director Jiao and asked him to help him find the help of Wushou wrestling.

The following things are simple, such as competition venues, ticketing and other trivial matters, the Provincial and Strike Association directly contracted them.

After contacting Korean players, it was naturally inappropriate for the Provincial Strike Association to come forward. Director Jiao came forward to contact the Korean side and invited Korean players to come to Jibei to participate.

As for the sponsorship of the competition, this is naturally Xia Jiuli's job.

With the joint efforts of the three parties, the China-Korea wrestling competition that had been cut off for many years was reopened.

If there is a competition, there will naturally be a bonus. Otherwise, the Koreans will not be able to mobilize crowds to participate.

According to the bonus plan discussed by Yi Dun and Director Jiao, there are seven levels for men, but each level is divided into classical and freestyle, which is considered fourteen levels.

Women have no classical styles, only freestyles, with a total of four levels.

Therefore, this China-Korea confrontation will produce a total of 18 gold medals. In addition to the two gold medals in the men's 130 kilogram level, there are sixteen gold medal winners left, and each person will receive a prize of 20,000 US dollars.

Such a bonus seems to be incomparable to events with high prizes such as Grand Prix and World Championships, but it is really rare to have a prize money of 20,000 US dollars in wrestling events.

After all, wrestling is not very profitable, so how could the organizer give so many bonuses?

Sixteen gold medals are 320,000 US dollars, which is more than 2 million yuan. In 2004, all the expenses were added up, and only 1.3 million yuan was spent in total.

From this we can see how big Yi Dun was this time.

It can also be seen how difficult it is for wrestlers to earn high bonuses. In the China-Korea Wrestling Confrontation, the previous champions probably could only get a bonus of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

The 130kg classical and freestyle wrestling gold medals are a bit incomprehensible to Koreans.

Because the bonus amount of these two projects is as high as one million US dollars!

And it's one million US dollars per project!

This is definitely the bonus amount that makes all wrestlers crazy. You should know that the influence of track and field is much greater than that of wrestling, but the maximum bonus is the $1 million prize in the Golden League.

And this 1 million US dollars is quite difficult to get, and it doesn’t mean you can get it if you win the competition.

Before 2002, there were seven Golden League games in total, but later it was reduced to six. If you want to get this million US dollars, you must all win the championship in six competitions.

The most important thing is that even if an athlete really wins six consecutive games with absolutely strong strength, he may not be able to get all one million US dollars.

This million USD requires all six consecutive athletes in the same class to share. If only one person completes six consecutive victories in this Golden League, he can get a complete bonus.

But if other players have completed six consecutive victories, they will need to share the bonus equally.

The most terrifying thing is that in 2002, a total of four players completed six consecutive victories, so each of them could only get a prize of 250,000 US dollars...

Because there are only ten events in the Golden League, theoretically, this million US dollar may be evenly divided at most by ten people.

Since this year, the Golden League has become history and has changed to the Diamond League.

Although the prize money of the Diamond League has increased to more than 6 million US dollars, there are as many as 32 projects. Due to the change of the bonus rules, the number of people who receive the prize has now become a certain 32. After deducting some record-breaking rewards and other miscellaneous prizes, the champion of each event, commonly known as the diamond prize, is actually only 80,000 US dollars.

From this we can see how terrifying the prize money of the China-Korea wrestling competition created by Yi Dun.

130kg wrestling, no matter whether it is classical or freestyle, as long as you win the championship, you will immediately have one million US dollars!

There is no point system, no equal division, no six consecutive wins, and you can just take a check of one million US dollars home.

Although Korean wrestlers can't understand why Chinese event organizers have produced such high bonuses? Aren't they afraid of losing money?

But even if they can't understand it, it will not hinder their coveting of the 1 million US dollars.

Wrestlers generally have low incomes, unless they go to UFC and other events to play professional competitions, their income will be much higher.

For example, the Cuban player Romero, nicknamed "Soldier of God", once won silver medals at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and won numerous awards in his career. Later, in 2007, Romero decided to give up freestyle wrestling, enter UFC, and become an MMA fighter.

Entering UFC also means that Romero will never have the possibility of participating in the Olympics again, unless his contract with UFC expires.

Romero undoubtedly has a relatively perfect wrestling career. The main purpose of his choice to go to UFC is to make a lot of money.

Not only Romero, many Olympians have entered UFC, including some Olympic gold medalists.

These people have given up the opportunity to participate in major events such as the Olympics, with the purpose of making a lot of money.

Some people may wonder why these Olympians have to give up their Olympic qualifications? Can't they participate in the Olympics with UFC?

It is indeed not possible, because these players will sign an agreement with UFC before entering UFC and cannot participate in any events outside UFC.

The Olympics are naturally included, so as long as you enter UFC, you will definitely not want to participate in the Olympics.

In addition, professional boxers actually have similar regulations, but their nature is different.

Professional boxers cannot qualify for Olympics.

In the initial Olympics, not only professional boxers, but most professional players were unable to participate, but only amateur players participated in the Olympics.

For example, in men's basketball games, professional players cannot be allowed to participate.

Later, after restructuring, professional players were allowed to participate in most events, even professional wrestlers were no exception. If UFC allowed, professional wrestlers could also participate in the Olympics.

However, professional boxers are still rejected by the Olympics. There are many reasons for this situation, but the main reason is that professional boxers are much better than amateur boxers.

This has led to the Olympic boxing champion, and few people call him boxing champion...

...

I would rather give up my Olympic qualification than make money by playing UFC.

It can be seen that the wrestlers' ability to attract money is indeed a bit poor, so Yi Dun's million-dollar prize directly made the Korean wrestling industry excited.

The strength of Korean wrestlers is not particularly strong, at least not as strong as that of Japanese players, but they are no worse than that of China.

Seeing the Sino-Korea wrestling competition provide such a generous bonus, they seemed to be dreaming that they were making an April Fools' Day joke.

After learning that this was the real thing, the registration situation was so enthusiastic. Almost all players in South Korea who could compete came to sign up.

Especially for the 130kg players, some of them are not wrestlers at all, but they still want to try it out.

What if you successfully register? What if you win the million dollar in the end?

Overnight, the topic of wrestling in South Korea surged, and many athletes in other events envied wrestlers and secretly hated why their events did not have such a million-dollar Grand Prix.

At the same time, domestic news about this China-Korea wrestling competition became very popular in an instant.

In addition to the astonishing million-dollar prize, Yi Dun's participation is also a focus of attention for the people across the country.

Long ago, when CBA was still playing in the regular season, Yi Dun made a noise and would enter the wrestling field.

Not long after the CBA season ended, news came out that Yi Dun was going to participate in the China-Korea confrontation, which made people look forward to it.

What kind of strength does Yi Dun have in the wrestling event? Will he lose to those Korean players?

What projects will Yi Dun sign up for then? Can he win the million-dollar prize?

These are the questions of the Chinese people, and their doubts are still unanswered.

Someone with interest also noticed the extraordinary million-dollar prize. He found that the organizer of the event was a company called Yiyang Sports Development Co., Ltd., and directly checked the information about the company online.

When everyone saw the legal person doing Tong Yangling, they couldn't help but feel happy.

Now everyone knows that Yi Dun and Tong Yangling are couples. The name of this company is obviously the name of Yi Dun and Tong Yangling. Therefore, in this China-Korea wrestling competition, Yi Dun is actually the organizer...

The smart Chinese can immediately determine that the wrestling level of Yi Dun participating in is definitely 130 kg, and Yi Dun must have the unparalleled confidence to win the game.

Otherwise, this event would not have set the 130kg prize so high.

It means that Yi Dun used his own money to pay himself the prize money in this competition.
