Dana White's refusal was not beyond De La Hoya's expectations.
He was not in a hurry, smiled slightly, stood up, looked at Dana Bai and said with a smile: "Dana, we still have time, we are not in a hurry, you can think about it carefully, the Huaxia market is very big!"
After Hoya finished speaking, he turned and left.
Many contracts cannot be finalized at once.
In fact, De La Hoya also knows very well that no matter what he talks to Dana White now, it is just a testing process.
Just like Dana White wants to know his bottom line, he also needs to give Dana White time to think about it.
Xiao Yong's contract has three games left.
These three games are also very important. In the final analysis, the worth of a fighter is mostly closely related to his performance.
It is very possible that Xiao Yong is the top player now, and if he loses consecutive games in the following games, his value will plummet and his attention will also plummet.
I just want to say that when the opportunity is given to Xiao Yong, whether he can seize it, jump over the dragon gate and become a top superstar must be supported by his record.
It's like talking to Conor McGregor.
The highest point of his worth was when he held the UFC featherweight and lightweight championships at the same time. Only with enough record support would he have the opportunity for a cross-border battle.
As for Xiao Yong, he has traffic, but to maintain traffic, he needs to be supported by his record.
So De La Hoya knows very well that this is just the first round of testing between the two sides.
The final outcome will have to wait until the end of the contract.
Dana White watched Hoya leave.
Lost in thought.
For him, Xiao Yong's conditions are very harsh!
Even something that has never happened before.
When I first joined the UFC, I wanted a PPV share, and I also wanted the right to cross borders freely.
He was unwilling to agree.
However, Huaxia Market is so delicious.
Seeing that the number of paid spectators in China has increased sharply in these ONE games, Dana White is very clear about the commercial value contained in it!
If Xiao Yong joins UFC, it will greatly improve the overall brand effect of UFC in China.
Seriously speaking, Xiao Yong's current contract in ONE, in terms of pure income, has exceeded more than 99% of UFC fighters. Only those top-level players with PPV shares can rival Xiao Yong!
Dana White also knows that at this time, if he just increases the guaranteed appearance fee to 500,000 US dollars and wants to attract Xiao Yong with the brand effect, the attraction will not be too high!
Not all ONE players will come to UFC, and many players have also rejected invitations from UFC.
Again, UFC is indeed the event with the most big names and the most competitive overall, but in the final analysis, players may not be willing to leave their comfortable environment.
Not everyone is willing to take on the challenge.
Isn’t it great to achieve good results and make steady money here?
After going to the UFC, as soon as he failed in a few games, his value immediately plummeted!
If they are also champion players, they will not get much PPV share, so their income will not be much different.
Dana Bai fell into deep thought....
Xiao Yong also returned to China at this time.
In this battle, Xiao Yong completely became famous.
Why do domestic competitions often involve some less powerful boxers from island countries who are said to be boxing champions and given to domestic boxers?
It is because the domestic people have a natural hatred for the island country itself.
The flow will naturally be high when playing!
This time, Xiao Yong competed in the top event in Asia, fighting against the island country's top mixed martial arts fighter, and the terrifying effect he achieved in the end was unprecedented in previous matches.
Shinya Aoki's behavior of visiting shrines before the game also aroused the anger of the domestic people.
It can be seen from the number of viewers of this game that many people who originally did not pay attention to ONE events or fighting events are willing to pay to watch the game.
So this time, Xiao Yong is a famous person.
Compared to being slightly famous a year ago, Xiao Yong can be said to be well-known to everyone now.
In school, in front of Su Yumei are her colleagues.
"Sister Su, when your son comes back, he must ask for an autographed photo for me! That game was so cool! From now on, you can take up my classes if you want, just tell me!" The young physical education teacher had no clue.
I betrayed my course with integrity...
He has already thought about it, who takes possession of it or not...
Su Yumei smiled and said: "Okay, this matter will be taken care of by sister..."
The same is true in Lao Xiao's work unit.
At this time, several brothers in Lao Xiao's office were also chatting.
"Lao Xiao's son, I don't dare to say anything else. He just fights and beats him when he is young. I remember when he was in kindergarten, my son and a few other children were beaten until he cried..."
"I also watched the game. It was really fierce, especially the knee at the end, which made the kid's head dent. It was really scary."
"Haha, Lao Zhang, your son has also fought against the world boxing champion. Yes, he is better than that little Japanese fighting master. At least his head was not dented by Xiao Yong!"
"Hey, this guy complained to me yesterday. He told his colleagues that he had been beaten by Xiao Yong, but they didn't believe it."
Comrade Xiao Jianguo is very happy!
My son is so awesome that he is even happier than he is when his salary is raised.
"Okay, let's talk. Today I have to leave a little early to buy groceries. When my son comes back in the evening, I have to get him something delicious. I will be embarrassed if I didn't give him anything in this competition!" Xiao Jianguo's face was red.
When Xiao Yong returned to China, it was almost the end of the year.
The Wu'an Hou crew will not start filming until after the new year, so Xiao Yong went home directly to prepare for the New Year.
————
Yang Lele hung up the video with Xiao Yong.
She missed Xiao Yong very much, but she didn't dare to tell her family.
Normally, video calls have to be made secretly.
At this moment, her mother pushed the door open and walked into the room, asking in a low voice: "Are you in love with Xiao Yong?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Lele was immediately shocked!
"No...no..." She looked innocent.
"Then why did Xiao Yong give us tickets last time and pick us up? Play with us? I'm not your father. I don't know anything all day long except eating, drinking and playing. Look, this time you come back, you have several clothes.
It’s something I’ve never seen before, I’ve searched it all, there are thousands of them!”
"And your cosmetics...don't think I didn't notice that you were secretly using them. They are all big-name products!"
"What do you do with your living expenses?"
"You have to explain it to me..."
In fact, Lele's mother noticed something was wrong the last time she went to Kyoto.
But when I asked Yang Lele later, she still refused to admit it.
Then, when she came back this time, she discovered a lot of tricks. Once you pay attention to these details, they are different.
Yang Lele was speechless for a moment.
How do I say this? Is it possible to say that I won the lottery?
In desperation, she could only pull her mother and whisper: "I'll tell you the truth, we are in love. You can't tell my dad. He said last time that he wouldn't let me fall in love in college...
.”
"You girl! You are too courageous. How far have you two reached?" Yang's mother gritted her teeth and asked.
Yang Lele bit her lower lip: "We are living together."
At this moment, in the living room, the sound of Yang Zhenshan slapping his thigh came into the room: "Fuck! My eldest brother is so fierce! This knee is so damn good that it makes the kid fart in his head! Watch it again!"
Yang's mother's face turned darker.
He turned around and roared: "If you yell dirty words again, get out of here!"
He turned his head and stared at Yang Lele fiercely.
"You, what do you want me to say about you?"
Yang Lele took her hand and said coquettishly: "Mom, you have to help me..."
Yang's mother sighed and said: "Okay, let me give your dad a vaccination... Look at him like that, the eldest brother is the elder brother and the younger brother is the younger brother. If he knows that you and Xiao Yong are dating, he might be angry to death.
.”
Yang Lele: "Then you can change your husband. Are you happy?"
"Damn girl, you deserve a beating, don't you?"
As the country celebrates the New Year, Guan Huashan is contacting Xiao Yong for competition.
Now every game Xiao Yong plays is a huge amount of income!
How could he let it go?
Especially the next game is the championship game. Once Xiao Yong wins the championship, it is almost certain that Xiao Yong's popularity will further grow in China. In competitive competitions, the champion is the easiest to attract fans.
Just like in all events, the players with the best results are the most eye-catching.
Take Mayweather as an example. When it comes to his fighting style, he is not likable. When it comes to his personality, he shows off his wealth and has a loud mouth, which is extremely annoying.
However, his 50-game unbeaten professional record has still allowed him to gain a large number of fans and supporters.
Therefore, Guan Huashan contacted Ruan Martin.
"I hope you can temporarily stop the featherweight competition, increase your weight, and complete the lightweight title defense!" Guan Huashan said directly: "If you don't agree, I will deprive you of the championship belt!"
In fact, for these top boxers, Guan Huashan still has some restraints. Whether it is the right to challenge the championship or the gold belt, these are things that these boxers cannot ignore.
On the other end of the phone, Ruan Martin fell into silence.
In fact, when Xiao Yong defeated Shinya Aoki, he knew that this game would come soon!
"I want an appearance fee of one million U.S. dollars!" Ruan Martin said solemnly: "For this match, I want an appearance fee of one million U.S. dollars. Otherwise, even if you take away my championship belt, I will not go to the lightweight division.
Complete the title defense!”
"impossible!"
Guan Huashan didn't hesitate and said directly: "You don't have to fight! I will take away your gold belt directly. You can think about it yourself. As for the appearance fee, I can't give you one million US dollars! You'd better decide as soon as possible and give it to me."
My answer!"
After saying that, Guan Huashan hung up the phone directly.
Not everyone can ask him for money!
He agreed to Xiao Yong's conditions because Xiao Yong had opened up the Chinese market. At that time, there was also the threat of UFC president Dana White, and Xiao Yong did have sufficient commercial value.
If everyone who wants to play against Xiao Yong wants to significantly increase their appearance fee, it is definitely impossible.
So, on the day of the Spring Festival, Ruan Martin expressed his dissatisfaction on social media.
"Xiao Yong can earn more than 7 million US dollars in one game! He doesn't even have a championship belt, but I am a double champion, but I only have a few hundred thousand. I don't get the respect I deserve. I'm really disappointed!"
His words quickly attracted attention.
Many Austrian media outlets expressed dissatisfaction.
"Double champions are not as good as Chinese boxers without gold belts. How can ONE be fair?"
"Double champion Nguyen Martin needs enough respect!"
"If you want to become the world's top event, ONE needs to change!"
"ONE rejects Ruan Martin's request for appearance fees, which is an insult!"
"Everyone has their own value. How much money they get, the championship is not the decisive factor, and ONE's salary is already very generous. If Ruan Martin is willing to accept the competition, then this competition will be held in Melbourne as a
ONE gives the respect of a champion!”
Giving him a home court advantage is Guan Huashan's biggest concession.
He didn't say anything about rejecting the results of the competition.
For Ruan Martin, he actually didn't have much choice. Guan Huashan acted too tough.
Either compete or take the belt away!
Once the belt is taken away, his status as a double champion will be gone.
Ruan Martin is also very popular in Austria and has frequent business activities. The reason why he is able to do this is because of the blessing brought by the double championship.
But if the golden belt is taken away!
It's definitely a big loss to him!
Ruan Martin finally gave in.
Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, ONE officially announced the competition date.
The match between Xiao Yong and Ruan Martin is scheduled for half a year!
Held in Melbourne, Austria!
Half a year!
This is the longest competition that Xiao Yong has experienced!
The main problem here is that Martin Nguyen needs to gain weight, and he also needs time to train and adapt.
At Xiao Yong's house, he was looking at the system interface.
The system refreshed four items again.
1. Ronda Rousey's cross-stick technique experience card (after purchasing, you can get all Ronda Rousey's cross-stick technique application experience cards, consumption of vicious energy: 6000)
When it comes to cross-bars, many players know this skill, but the one who uses this technique to achieve the greatest fame is undoubtedly the queen of cross-bars, Ronda Rousey.
Everyone knows that Ronda Rousey will use the crossbar to defeat her opponents. Even her opponents know it, but no one can stop her.
As for Ronda Rousey, she also relied on this cross-bar to win 12 consecutive victories, 11 of which were in the first round, and 9 of the victories were completed with the cross-bar.
This shows how powerful he is in using the crossbar!
The stuff is good, but the price is very expensive.
Fortunately, Xiao Yong has a lot of fear value. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yong still chose to buy it.
He can complete his rule with one move, and even rule for as long as three years.
Ronda Rousey's understanding of this move must be different from ordinary people.
For Xiao Yong, every improvement is very important.
Sure enough, as various usage experiences came into his mind, Xiao Yong's eyes were really opened. Many flaws that were not flaws in Xiao Yong's eyes were opportunities to use the cross-bar.
There is nothing to say about this thing, Xiao Yong also redeemed it to prepare for future performances.
3. Devil's Horns (After the host obtains it, it can grow double horns, increasing its ferocity and making it easier to gain fear points.)
Um...Xiao Yong doesn't want to be regarded as a monster! Just rule it out!
4. Piranha seeds (you can plant them in yourself, very beautiful! It consumes 1 ferocious energy.)
Haha, Xiao Yong has no interest in raising that kind of thing in his home.
After the purchase was completed, Xiao Yong left home. He had already booked a flight ticket.
I need to prepare to visit Yang Lele’s hometown.
There was no way... Xiao Yong really couldn't bear it anymore.
The Wu An Hou crew filmed in Kyoto.
The crew was already getting ready to start shooting, and he would join the crew soon. The filming of the TV series this time would take who knows how long, and Yang Lele had to go to school in Binzhou and couldn't accompany him.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time.
He planned to meet Yang Lele before joining the group.
However, Xiao Yong had no intention of meeting Yang Zhenshan and directly booked a room in the hotel.
Yang Lele goes out during the day and goes home at night. The two haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they are very close.
After staying for three days, Xiao Yong flew to Kyoto and joined the crew!
Inside the crew, Xiao Yong met director Gao Xi. As soon as they met, Gao Xi took the initiative and said with a smile: "Xiao Yong, your game is great. You must win the next game!"
"Of course!" Xiao Yong is still very confident about this.
Strong strength is the source of self-confidence.
Since the last competition, Xiao Yong has become the hope of the domestic audience, who all hope that he can win the first gold belt of China's mixed martial arts in top events.
After the greetings were completed, the crew was officially ready to start filming.
Everyone is familiar with Bai Qi, played by Xiao Yong, so I won’t introduce him too much.
This drama starts from Bai Qi's boyhood and fictionalizes a childhood sweetheart. Bai Qi resolutely joins the army in order to serve the country.
Xiao Yong's first scene was filmed with this childhood sweetheart.
The actor who plays Bai Qi's childhood sweetheart is also quite famous in the industry.
This is the new generation actress Yang Qing, who can be regarded as a first-line star. This is the first time for Xiao Yong to play opposite such a big-name woman, and he is somewhat looking forward to it.
Actors, the cameras are in place!
"32145!"
The moment the other party said his lines, Xiao Yong was stunned.
What kind of situation is this? This is the first time he has encountered this since he started acting.
Xiao Yong was at a loss for a moment!
At this time, Xiao Yong saw out of the corner of his eye that Yang Qing's assistant was holding a sign on the sidelines.
It clearly says on the sign.
"Five numbers, calm expression."
"Click!"
Seeing that Xiao Yong didn't react, Gao Xi shouted "click".
He came down with a smile, walked to Xiao Yong, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? It's your first shooting, are you nervous?"
Xiao Yong: "...."
Is he nervous?
It’s not that you’re nervous, but isn’t this shooting too childish?
Gao Xi naturally knew the reason for Xiao Yong's reaction. He pulled Xiao Yong aside and whispered: "He brought money into the group, so let's accommodate him."
Xiao Yong turned around and glanced at Yang Qing. He was quite good-looking, and it was because of his face that he became famous.
Although I know that this actor has always been criticized for his acting skills, but now it is clear that he is not dedicated to his job.
No professional ethics at all.
Xiao Yong was a little unhappy: "Director, she acted like this, and it didn't affect me at all."
"This will test your acting skills. If you are acting opposite a foreigner, do you have to ask them to speak Chinese?"
Well, if you think about it carefully, this is also true.
But Xiao Yong still feels a little weird...
But speaking of this, Xiao Yong is neither an investor nor a director. He is just an actor. Even if he is dissatisfied, what can he do?
