Faced with Connor's ridicule, Xiao Yong quickly responded.
"Fifty million US dollars? I just earned it from selling my neck."
To put it bluntly, if Connor only mentioned his 50 million US dollars, Xiao Yong would definitely not say a word.
But if Connor took him with him, he would definitely not want to.
The reason why Conor sold his neck is very simple, because in the games Conor lost in the Octagon, he was basically submitted by naked choke.
This moment made Connor extremely dissatisfied!
"Haha, you'd better get two gold belts first before talking to me!"
"Golden belt? I will definitely win more than you in the future! After all, there is nothing commendable about beating Alvarez's golden belt."
The two began a verbal spat on social media.
Alvarez lays down the gun again.
After all, Xiao Yong also defeated him.
Despite the quarrel, Xiao Yong was not polite and directly invited a fight: "If you have the ability, enter the octagonal cage and let's have a fight!"
It’s all a story!
A real fight is better than anything else!
Unfortunately, Connor did not accept the challenge and just said: "You are not worthy yet! Let's wait until you get your ranking up!"
A war of words ended in nothing.
The opponent refused to fight, and Xiao Yong had no choice.
When Connor plays a game, even Dana White has to follow his wishes.
As the UFC's biggest cash cow, it comes with privileges.
The other side.
Dana White is also arranging the competition.
Night Stalker Tony Ferguson vs. Current Champion Khabib!
Tony Ferguson has not lost in the UFC lightweight division for a long time.
The battle between the Eagle and the Demon is a game that all viewers are looking forward to.
Before this, Dana White had arranged it three times.
For the first time, Khabib announced his retirement due to a rib injury.
The second time was because Ferguson was feeling unwell with a lung infection and announced his withdrawal from the race.
For the third time, Khabib was rushed to the hospital due to weight loss, which led to rapid dehydration and pathological changes in his body. He was stranded the day before the start of the game.
This is already the fourth competition...
The match between these two people is also jokingly called the cursed match.
When the publicity was in full swing, as expected, another accident occurred.
Ferguson sprained his knee during the media day a week before the game and immediately underwent cruciate ligament surgery.
After withdrawing this time, Dana White angrily stated in front of the media that he would never arrange a match between these two guys again!
Of course, this is just angry talk.
After Khabib defeated Conor McGregor in a near crushing manner.
The outside world believes that he has only one biggest enemy in the lightweight category, and that is Tony Ferguson.
In Dana White's office.
He looked at the lightweight lineup.
Major big name players.
Connor, Kitty Hawk, and Ferguson are all currently unable to play.
Dana White sets his sights on Dustin Poirier.
He wants to facilitate a match between Dustin Poirier and Xiao Yong!
Dustin Poirier is currently ranked fourth in the lightweight rankings.
If he can compete with Xiao Yong, then after this game, Xiao Yong may become a player qualified to challenge for the championship!
Now Dana White’s number one cash cow is Conor McGregor.
The second cash cow can be said to be Xiao Yong.
The commercial value of one of their games is completely unmatched by other players.
Especially in the last game, Xiao Yong's game, the PPV sales reached 700,000!
This is an extremely excellent result.
After all, the only UFC player who can stably sell more than 1 million PPVs is Conor McGregor.
So Dana White is very inclined to arrange a higher-ranked opponent for Xiao Yong!
The only thing to consider is whether Xiao Yong can win.
In Dana White's eyes, Dustin Poirier's strength can be said to be top-notch in the lightweight category.
Although he lost to Connor, he is still a champion level player.
It has extremely comprehensive technology.
Although I prefer standing, I still have ground skills.
Dana White first called Dustin Poirier.
"Dustin! I want to arrange a match between you and Xiao Yong. What do you think?"
On the other end of the phone, Dustin Poirier's slightly angry voice came: "Xiao Yong? He is only ranked ninth! I want to fight Khabib! So can Ferguson, so can Connor! I don't want to fight this
Chinese people compete!”
For Dustin Poirier, the opponents worth challenging in the lightweight category are the previous ones.
What he wants is the championship!
Or it’s money!
Dana White was well prepared for this. He said patiently: "Dustin, if you agree to this game, then your appearance fee for this game will rise to 700,000 US dollars! And I promise you, if you
Win the game, and once the game between Khabib and Daredevil is over, I will prioritize you for the championship game."
Money is always the most effective number.
The price offered by Dana White is something Dustin Poirier would never get.
However, judging from Xiao Yong's current popularity, organizing such a competition is still a guaranteed profit.
Upon hearing this number, Dustin Poirier's heart was moved.
You know, his current appearance fee is about US$250,000, and he does not get any PPV share.
Dana White gave him 700,000 US dollars for one game, which is equivalent to nearly three games in normal times.
And Dana White also promised that after this game is over, he will be prioritized for a championship fight!
But from Dana White's perspective, he doesn't want Dustin Poirier to win.
So this promise is more of a carrot in front of the donkey.
You can never eat it.
Of course, if Dustin Poirier really wins Xiao Yong, there is nothing Dana White can do.
After all, he cannot really compete on behalf of the players, nor can he manipulate the results.
At that point it will be a real commitment.
"Okay, Dana, I agree to the game!"
With the benefits in place, Dustin Poirier has no reason to disagree.
Dana Bai contacted Xiao Yong.
When Xiao Yong received the call and heard that he would face Dustin Poirier, he immediately became excited!
This time, it’s ranked ***!
Go directly to fight No. 4 Dustin Poirier. Once he wins, he will directly enter the top level of the lightweight class!
To be honest, there are many lightweight masters.
But in Xiao Yong's opinion, there are only four people who can be his opponents: Tony Ferguson, Khabib! Conor McGregor! Dustin Poirier!
As for the subsequent Brazilian leg king Barbosa, Justin Gage and other players, Xiao Yong does not think they will pose much threat to him!
This is confidence!
Dustin and Poirier are very strong.
He has outstanding fighting ability, and he is currently ranked fourth in the lightweight class.
Being able to reach this point, Xiao Yong knew very well that the opponent would not be a weakling.
It may even be the strongest opponent you have ever played against!
This time, Xiao Yong was really excited.
He came to UFC just to fight against the top players in the world!
The current Dustin Poirier is undoubtedly one of the best stand-up strikers in the lightweight category.
Although he once lost to Conor McGregor, everyone can see his progress now.
Xiao Yong doesn’t think he is weaker than Connor!
And Dustin Poirier is not only a stand-up master, he is more comprehensive than Conor, who is a talker.
There are thirteen KOs and seven submissions in his career.
Although the standing weight is larger, the ground skills are also there.
It's just that relatively speaking, I'm not that proficient.
It can be said that this opponent will be the strongest opponent Xiao Yong has faced in the UFC so far!
Soon, the match between Dustin Poirier and Xiao Yong was officially announced!
Dustin Poirier still has high popularity and supporters in the beautiful country.
Although he is not the kind of player who has a particularly outstanding record and can make money.
But he has a very good appearance. Not only that, he does not spend his appearance fees to enjoy squandering like many boxers. Instead, he builds amusement parks for children with rare diseases, visits schools for problem children, establishes charity funds, etc., and makes many achievements.
He has done many public welfare undertakings.
So his popularity is still pretty good, but it's just not as good as those super popular players.
Dustin Poirier is in the training hall at this time.
They were watching Xiao Yong's past videos.
"This guy is so versatile that it's almost terrifying!" After watching it, Dustin Poirier's head coach said with a serious face.
The jiu-jitsu coach added: "Although he has not surrendered many times, judging from the use of Das Choke and Flying Crossbar, he has a very deep understanding of jiu-jitsu, and in ground fights, even jiu-jitsu
Even if you are a master, no one can take advantage of him. On the contrary, as long as you are pulled close to the ground by him, it will be extremely difficult to break free!"
The head coach sighed and said: "It is true, and judging from the damage caused to the opponent, this guy's striking power is extremely strong! Even if you are fighting standing up, you can't be careless."
Although Dustin Poirier is known as a diamond, he is indeed a very tough man.
But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been knocked down head-on!
Therefore, Xiao Yong's striking power cannot be ignored.
Dustin Poirier looks at Xiao Yong in the video.
It is undeniable that Xiao Yong is indeed very strong!
"What should we do?"
"For anti-fall training, try to finish while standing, and use tactical traps such as guillotine when the opponent is wrestling." Dustin Poirier's head coach set the tactics.
He smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, your fists can destroy everything. As long as you don't get pulled into the ground by him, the probability of winning is still very high. Judging from his current fighting style in the UFC, he is closer to Khabib. You can also
Consider him the best sparring partner before the match with Khabib! If you beat him, you will definitely be able to fight Khabib with ease!"
After listening to the head coach's words, Dustin Poirier nodded seriously.
In comparison, on Xiao Yong's side, the atmosphere of preparing for the battle was much more relaxed.
In fact, Xiao Yong's coaches don't understand why Xiao Yong's skills have improved so quickly.
Wrestling itself is very strong, so forget about this, but fighting and jujitsu are equally strong.
It is even said that it is difficult for Xiao Yong's two sparring partners to have much effect on him now.
The more comprehensive a player is, the more weapons he has in his arsenal, and the less likely he is to be targeted.
Facing this opponent Dustin Poirier.
The first reaction of Xiao Yong's coaching staff in preparing for the game is to find a way to pull the opponent into the ground!
In their opinion, as long as the opponent is pulled into the ground, Xiao Yong has a much greater chance of winning.
If you can't pull it in...it's okay to stand!
It's more about adjusting your own state.
As for preparing some specifically targeted tactical moves, you can just wait for opportunities to use them during the game.
Soon, good news came from Hoya.
Xiao Yong was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor!
Xiao Yong, including Xiao Yong, couldn't even think about this news.
De La Hoya smiled and said: "This award, as expected, will most likely not be awarded to you, but it will still be of great benefit to your fame and worth."
Xiao Yong: "...."
It seems that he is accompanying me on a run.
In fact, this is exactly the case. In the final analysis, he is just a newcomer in Hollywood.
I only filmed this one work.
Being shortlisted is already an affirmation, but it seems impossible to win this award as a newcomer.
Xiao Yong smiled and said: "It's not a bad idea to run with me, let's go and see a lot of things!"
The last time he attended an awards ceremony, it was the Academy Awards.
At that time he won the Best Supporting Actor.
It also won the best action design.
After hanging up the call on Hoya, Xiao Yong returned home. As soon as he walked in, he found that Bai Yiyi was already drinking milk tea and watching TV with Yang Lele at his house.
Now Yang Lele, Bai Yiyi and Tang Xiuyi have become good friends, and they get together to play together from time to time.
"You two are not afraid of getting fat." Xiao Yong complained with a smile.
Bai Yiyi glared at him angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "Can you take some time for us to deal with some domestic work?"
Forehead...
Xiao Yong is a little helpless. In fact, he has not performed any acting work in China for some time.
Nowadays, whether it’s film appointments, advertisers’ offers, or invitations to variety shows, they are constantly coming in.
Because of his two consecutive wins and the success of his thriller, Xiao Yong became even more popular among domestic audiences.
Essentially, domestic audiences will most likely like a person based on his achievements.
Just like someone said, many domestic audiences don't like sports at all, they just like champions.
To some extent, this is true.
The audience just likes to see Xiao Yong win, like to see Xiao Yong beat up foreigners, and like to see Xiao Yong's movies become box office hits.
I like watching those self-media translate foreign words praising Xiao Yong.
This makes them very happy.
Therefore, Xiao Yong, who is in a winning streak, is still very popular.
Faced with Bai Yiyi's complaints, Xiao Yong spread his hands and said: "Okay, you can choose some advertising products. Again, I will not endorse any food or medicine. Some daily necessities and the like are fine.
,By the way, how is the sales of the Yama series?"
It has been almost a year since Xiao Yong signed the contract with Anda.
Mentioning this, Bai Yiyi was in a good mood and said with a smile: "As of last month this year, the revenue of Yan Luo brand was 11.5 billion, including a net income of 1.76 billion! If it is liquidated by the end of the year, it should be divided into about one billion!"
This is the biggest profit.
Even if they only get a 10% share, the income they receive will be hundreds of millions.
Of course, the money actually has to be taxed, so the amount you get will be reduced a lot.
Bai Yiyi looked at Xiao Yong and said with a smile: "How about setting up a company in your name so that we can find ways to reasonably avoid taxes?"
fantuantanshu.com
Many artists do this.
Xiao Yong shook his head and said: "Forget it, pay as much as you should. Now I am a billionaire. My family is big and I have a big business. What two taxes are missing?"
Bai Yiyi rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "That's not true, many people do that."
Xiao Yong said disapprovingly: "What they do is none of my business. I will definitely not do it."
To be honest, the higher the income, the higher the tax rate.
For many people, it really feels distressing.
But Xiao Yong didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
If someone can pay so much tax, it means he has earned more money.
Paying taxes is inherently a social responsibility. The so-called reasonable tax avoidance may seem to be operating within the rules, but in essence, it is a manifestation of evading social responsibility.
Xiao Yong will not condemn people who do such things, but he does not want to do it himself.
On the one hand, it is because many people resort to so-called reasonable tax avoidance and engage in tax evasion.
On the other hand, Xiao Yong is also willing to take on more social responsibilities.
Otherwise, he would not have built the school, nor would he have lost money to hold the competition in the first place.
Xiao Yong sat next to Yang Lele and leaned his head on Yang Lele.
She smiled at Bai Yiyi and said, "You should be a bit discerning, right? I've already gone home, is it appropriate for you to be here?"
Yang Lele covered her mouth and snickered, while Bai Yiyi was furious: "Isn't it too much for you to drive people away just after you get home?"
Xiao Yong joked: "Can't you tell who is the big one? Go to work quickly, okay? I have to pay so much tax. I feel distressed. I want to go back and pick two. It's rich and easy, and the product quality is even better."
Give me the commercial and shoot it when I get back from attending the Oscars!"
"Oscar?" Bai Yiyi was stunned. He didn't know the news yet.
"Well, I got an Oscar nomination for Best Actor!" Xiao Yong said: "I'm leaving in three days, so don't delay our two-person world and get to work quickly!"
Bai Yiyi gritted her teeth and said, "You Huang Shiren!"
"Haha, is Huang Shiren as fierce as me? If you don't leave, I will blow your head off with one punch, believe it or not?"
We have known each other for several years, and Xiao Yong's threat no longer scares Bai Yiyi.
But when Xiao Yong opened his mouth, Yang Lele only smiled and said nothing. Bai Yiyi also knew that she really couldn't disturb other people's sweet lives.
"Humph! Just leave!"
Bai Yiyi got up and left.
Yang Lele quickly greeted: "Yiyi, slow down and be careful on the road!"
"A guy who values sex over friends!" Bai Yiyi complained as she closed the door, but immediately felt something was wrong.
That guy has no color either!
Hmm... cover your face, those muscles are quite interesting...
But, it was nominated for an Oscar!
It's been many years since a domestic actor has done something like this.
In other words, there are very few actors who can do this kind of thing.
So, advertising fees...should we have a serious discussion?
