Xiao Yong's clarification quickly became a hot search topic.
It also poured cold water on the evil fire that had just arisen in the country.
Many Tongji boxing gyms were flooded with people coming to consult these days. However, after Xiao Yong clarified, the door was suddenly empty and no one cared.
Of course, some people who really want to learn will still learn.
This also made many people angry and insulted Xiao Yong online.
However, these people don't dare to open a large account, so they can only create a small account to insult them.
And he will soon be criticized back by Xiao Yong’s fans.
The match between Xiao Yong and Dustin Poirier still had the same number of viewers in China as the previous match.
It can be said that as long as Xiao Yong maintains his winning streak, the number of spectators will remain at this level for a long time. However, if Xiao Yong fails to win the championship, it will be difficult for this number to increase again!
On the contrary, in beautiful country.
PPV sales of this game exceeded one million copies!
A total of 1.04 million copies sold!
Although it only barely exceeded one million copies, this level is already very high.
And Xiao Yong also got his first top share in life!
9.85 million US dollars!
This time, Xiao Yong actually earned more than 10 million US dollars in a single game!
He also officially entered the UFC million sales club.
The reason why Xiao Yong's popularity soared in this game was because of his weird offense in the game.
Faced with this kind of boxing technique that has never appeared in the Octagon, many boxing fans are willing to pay to watch this match.
Not only that, ESPN once again conducted a special review of Xiao Yong's game!
And find someone to try to copy Xiao Yong’s movements!
As a result, the person who tried to imitate couldn't achieve the feeling of Xiao Yong at all. Instead, he tore the muscles of his arm due to excessive force.
It was even more topical. Although Dustin Poirier lost the game, he also used the popularity to appear on many programs.
During the show, he did not hesitate to praise Xiao Yong.
"I think Xiao is a more comprehensive player than Khabib. First of all, he has a very strong wrestling level and ground suppression. As you can see in our matches, he is really very strong. Not only that, he
Khabib's ability to stand up is incomparable, especially his final attack. I still can't figure out how he can hit hard in that situation. If two people compete, I personally think
, Xiao Yong will win!"
After losing to Xiao Yong, Dustin Poirier said this, firstly, to acknowledge Xiao Yong's strength, and secondly, to improve himself.
If Xiao Yong can defeat Khabib, then it is not unacceptable for him to lose to Xiao Yong.
In fact, for Xiao Yong, he also really wants to challenge for the championship.
I even called Dana White about this.
Unfortunately, Dana White also expressed helplessness about this: "Xiao, you have to wait. Tony Ferguson is the first challenger now. You need to wait for the match between him and Khabib to be completed before you can become the next challenger."
Tony Ferguson has longed for the championship position for too long.
In fact, Xiao Yong himself has no objections to this.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was Khabib's attendance rate.
This guy's attendance rate is definitely not high.
One fight a year is too much.
But there was nothing he could do about it, and it was impossible for Xiao Yong to force him to participate in the competition.
At Golden Boy Promotions, De La Hoya was sitting with Soul Alvarez.
Sur and Alvarez can be said to be one of the most powerful boxing champions in professional boxing today. Since Mayweather announced his retirement, he has become the world's most valuable boxing champion in the minor divisions.
He is from Mexico and has won multiple levels of gold belts. He unifies the world boxing championship belts of the WBA, WBO, and WBC organizations. He is even very likely to unify the four super middleweight world boxing championship belts in one fell swoop.
He is also now the unquestioned number one boxing super middleweight (168 pounds or 76.27 kg).
Golden boy De La Hoya looked at Sur and Alvarez and said with a smile: "Suer, how are you? Are you interested in a cross-border battle?"
Cross-border war?
Alvarez looked at Hoya, smiled and asked: "Who to hit?"
"Xiao Yong! Xiao! His PPV sales have exceeded one million copies. Now he is the top star in UFC. If you compete with him, you will definitely attract the interest of the audience!"
Hoya said excitedly.
He can't wait!
Operation cross-border war!
Both boxers are from their own company, so he can earn a lot of money from ppv income alone.
Compared with the boxer's share of each game, this is what he really wants!
Sur Alvarez naturally knows Xiao Yong. Now in the fighting circle, Xiao Yong is somewhat famous.
"What rules?"
"Boxing of course!"
De La Hoya knows very well that if the two of them fight MMA rules, Sur Alvarez will never agree.
Sure enough, after hearing this rule, Alvarez touched his chin and said: "You can fight, but my appearance fee cannot be less than 80 million US dollars!"
Upon hearing this number, Hoya looked a little unhappy!
This price is too high!
He shook his head and said: "Suer, you can't be like this. You are not Mayweather, and you can't make that much money from your game. Moreover, this game is a sure win for you. If you want this
The price, company promotion and operation will all be very difficult!”
Hearing Hoya's rejection, Alvarez was speechless.
What is different from Xiao Yong is that he was spotted by De La Hoya when he was participating in the youth competition. It can be said that his growth over the years has been indispensable without De La Hoya's help.
His current appearance fee is about US$30 million per game.
Of course, this does not include income from ppv share and ticket share.
"Then what do you mean?" Sur Alvarez asked in a deep voice.
"Still maintaining the current share ratio, I will increase your basic appearance fee by 10 million! A total of 40 million US dollars." De La Hoya gave the quotation and said: "You have to know that your opponent cannot cause you any harm.
Threat, this game is easy for you."
Sur, Alvarez fell into silence, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the salary.
This is not the same as the cross-border war he imagined.
But in his heart, what Hoya said was right, Xiao Yong was a non-threatening opponent to him.
"Well, I'll leave it to you. If he agrees to fight, then I will agree!"
With Alvarez's consent, De La Hoya flew directly to the UK to find Xiao Yong on the set.
In fact, De La Hoya is very anxious, because although Xiao Yong is performing strongly now, De La Hoya is not sure whether he can defeat Khabib and win the championship!
After all, Habib's dominance is too strong and he has not lost a game in his career. If Xiao Yong faces him and loses the game, De La Hoya can predict that Xiao Yong's commercial value within China will be greatly reduced.
The match between him and Alvarez is being arranged now, on the one hand, because Xiao Yong is still popular in Europe and the United States, and on the other hand, there is also a large market in China.
As for Xiao Yong losing the cross-border battle, De La Hoya has never doubted this.
Even though Xiao Yong defeated Sitichai in the kickboxing crossover, in De La Hoya's view, it was different from boxing. As long as Xiao Yong faced a top boxing champion, he would have no chance of winning.
Therefore, De La Hoya viewed the cross-border contract that Dana White received as a single-game contract from the beginning.
At this time, he felt that Xiao Yong's economic value had reached the highest point!
PPV sales have exceeded one million, its reputation is high in China, and it is still popular in Europe and the United States.
Let him have a fight with Sur Alvarez at this time, and Golden Boy Company will definitely make a lot of money!
In fact, he also knows that the most ideal situation is to arrange a match between Xiao Yong and Mayweather. However, Xiao Yong has not won the championship yet, and Mayweather may not be interested in it. And even if Mayweather is interested in it, with Mayweather
With Se's reputation, PPV sales will definitely take the lion's share, and it may not be more profitable than this game.
As for Xiao Yong, losing this cross-border match is not a big deal in De La Hoya's eyes. It's scary to see that after Conor lost the match, his worth in the UFC is as high. This is just a show!
As for the losses on China's side, let's just lose them.
In Xiao Yong's room, he is looking at the system mall that was refreshed this month!
1. Ten Methods of Brewing (Contains ten top brewing secret recipes. It consumes 3000 violent energy.)
Xiao Yong was overjoyed when he saw this thing. You know, he was worried that he didn't know how to do it.
Purchased immediately!
There was an extra book in Xiao Yong's hand. Xiao Yong opened it and looked at it. It contained a variety of alcoholic drinks.
Champagne, red wine, liquor, whiskey, vodka, tequila
Each type of wine has a brewing method.
Although I don’t know how it tastes, but it can be rated as the top brewing secret recipe by the system, I guess it’s not too bad!
With this thing, Xiao Yong was finally able to set up a winery.
2. Designated genetic card (inherit a certain talent of your own to your descendants. A single descendant can only use one card, which consumes 10,000 vicious energy.)
Xiao Yong touched his chin about this thing.
Bought two.
Don't pass on your fierce face. You can pass on your fighting talent. Regardless of whether you want to pursue a career or not, at least you won't be bullied.
3. Keyboard Warrior (coding speed is 10,000 per hour, consumption of 30 violent energy)
Xiao Yong is not interested in this thing. (The author himself is very interested.)
4. Dali Pills (can increase the upper limit of body strength, each pill consumes 5 fierce energy, purchase limit is 5 pills.)
Xiao Yong raised his eyebrows and made the purchase without hesitation.
Then I took it. Although I don’t know how effective these 5 powerful pills will be in the end, it is definitely better to use them than not to use them!
As soon as Xiao Yong took Dali Pill, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, Xiao Yong found that it was Hoya.
As soon as he entered the door, De La Hoya said excitedly: "Xiao! Sur Alvarez has agreed to a cross-border battle with you. In this game, your appearance fee can reach at least 20 million US dollars!"
Looking at Hoya who looked excited.
Xiao Yong did not speak.
Just let him into the house.
Then he closed the door.
Hoya rolled his eyes and noticed that Xiao Yong didn't seem satisfied.
The two sat down again.
Xiao Yong asked softly: "Who did you say you were going to hit just now?"
"Suer, Alvarez." De La Hoya said: "Now the weight class is similar to yours, and this is the most popular player."
"Isn't there Mayweather?"
Xiao Yong looked at De La Hoya and said with a smile: "Mayweather's worth is much higher than that of Sur Alvarez."
In his current state, Mayweather may not be Alvarez's opponent in a real fight, but his worth is much higher.
It's easy to decide which one to shoot.
Hearing this, De La Hoya smiled awkwardly and said: "Aren't you the lightweight champion now? It would be good to fight Alvarez first, you can make a lot of money!"
"MMA rules?"
"boxing!"
Xiao Yong looked at Hoya in front of him and asked thoughtfully: "Is Alvarez also from Golden Boy Company?"
"Yes, we are all on our own, so it is easy to arrange." Hoya said with a smile, this is not something that can be concealed.
Xiao Yong looked at De La Hoya with a smile on his face, shook his head and said: "I will not consider crossing the border until I win the UFC lightweight championship!"
Hearing this, De La Hoya's smile was a little stiff, and he whispered: "Then if you can't beat Habib, your popularity will definitely drop by then, and Alvarez may not be willing to arrange a crossover, even though he is a
From the company, but this time he has already accommodated you. This is an opportunity not to be missed!"
Xiao Yong still shook his head: "I will not lose. At this price, I will not agree to cross-border."
De La Hoya quickly advised again: "Conor's appearance fee for the match between Mayweather and Mayweather is only 20 million US dollars. Your appearance fee is already quite high. After this match, I will also go to fight with Bai Bai."
Dana will discuss your contract again, and the basic appearance fee will definitely exceed one million!"
Xiao Yong looked at De La Hoya and sneered: "Connor has a PPV share, right? The basic appearance fee is 20 million, but with his PPV share and alcohol promotion, what he gets is far more than 20 million.
"
Xiao Yong is not a fool, he has been in this industry for so many years.
How could he not know which side is the big head?
Although De La Hoya paid himself a high basic appearance fee, he never mentioned the ppv share.
It’s clear that I don’t want to give it.
Of course, Xiao Yong will not be angry.
That's it in business, who doesn't want to make more money?
But there is one sentence that he also speaks from his heart.
He won't fight in cross-border battles until he wins the championship.
"Xiao, what do you think is the appropriate PPV share for you?"
Xiao Yong smiled and said: "I said, before I get the gold belt, I will not fight in a cross-border battle. As for the ppv share, you can consider it slowly. Don't be in a hurry."
Seeing what Xiao Yong said, Hoya understood that Xiao Yong really had no intention of fighting a cross-border war.
He left the room a little disappointed.
After sending Hoya away, Xiao Yong sat back on the sofa and began to think deeply.
Obviously, for De La Hoya, he really wants to promote a cross-border battle.
Because it will bring him huge profits.
In this kind of cross-border war, the interests of the two people are in conflict.
At least in the battle with Alvarez, the conflict of interest between the two can be said to be direct.
Because this kind of event is run by a promotion company, first of all, the promotion company gets the ppv share. Of course, they also pay the players' appearance fees.
So in essence, if Xiao Yong takes more, they will take less.
This is one of the reasons why many boxers end up turning against their agencies.
The biggest difference between Xiao Yong and other UFC players is that he has excellent ability to attract money!
Ordinary players, seeing the appearance fee of 20 million U.S. dollars, may not be able to go any further.
But for Xiao Yong, the money is not much.
Compared with boxing, mma actually has a huge gap in terms of player value.
Boxing is the most traditional fighting sport in the West. It has a history of hundreds of years and has produced too many stars.
It has absolutely strong influence and market!
But mma only started to develop in the 1990s.
In just a few decades, it is very difficult to surpass boxing.
In fact, the emergence of Connor has allowed mma to greatly catch up in ppv sales.
You know, Alvarez's ppv in one game is just over a million.
Conor McGregor can basically sell more than one million ppv in every game, so he has a super high net worth.
But except for Conor McGregor, it is actually very difficult for other players to earn an income comparable to that of boxing players.
Of course, Xiao Yong is an exception. If Xiao Yong's income is compared with boxers of the same level, he will still surpass boxers.
After all, he has not yet won the UFC gold belt.
You can earn more than 10 million US dollars in a single game.
And many boxing champions with gold belts actually don’t have this kind of income.
No matter what kind of sports it is, those who can excel will always be those who stand at the top of the pyramid.
As for Xiao Yong's unwillingness to accept a cross-border battle, it is simple.
Because he doesn't want to lose!
In Xiao Yong's mind, no matter what game he plays, he has only one goal, which is to win the game.
If he was just going through the motions to make money, then he would rather not accept it.
To adapt to the rules of boxing and carry out special training will definitely require a lot of time and energy.
At present, Xiao Yong's main focus is still on winning the UFC championship. Before defeating Khabib, Xiao Yong does not want to be distracted.
After seeing off Hoya, Xiao Yong was ready to go to bed. After all, there was still a shooting task the next day.
The filming location of this movie is in London.
Since joining the group, I have gotten along well with the actors, especially Tom Hardy's acting skills, which really left a deep impression on Xiao Yong.
Even though he is older, he still has the same taste when he plays the ruffian character again.
The same goes for Xiao Yong, who also played the role of Po Hao.
I have also played an undercover role before.
They are also very familiar with this type of role. Together, it can be said that the two of them have a very good grasp of temperament.
This convinced David Drew that he had not chosen the wrong role.
Xiao Yong lay back on the bed and prepared to sleep.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door again. Xiao Yong walked to the door and opened it.
This time it's Katherine Landford.
"Xiao, I want to come to you to discuss tomorrow's scene." Katherine Landford was wearing pajamas, her face slightly red.
Xiao Yong looked her up and down, her pink pajamas, snow-white skin, and long golden hair. He suddenly grinned: "Sorry, I don't work during off hours!"
Bang, the room door was closed.
Landford at the door had a face full of astonishment.
