Everyone was stunned. No one could have imagined that Xiao Yong would shout such a goal on the night of winning the championship!
Even though he has won the lightweight championship, most people still think he is a lunatic when he shouts such words!
"This Chinese man must have drunk too much!"
"Are you kidding? Does he know what it means to win five levels of championships?"
"UFC is not boxing, a five-level champion? He is really crazy!"
"If he can do it, I would like to call it GOTA, but there is a high probability that he will not be able to beat Usman!"
"I think so. He just won a gold belt and never defended it once!"
But similarly, many people showed support for Xiao Yong!
"Haha, I love this crazy guy!"
"Yes, you dare to shout such a goal in front of everyone, awesome!"
"Mortals, tremble, Yama from China wants to rule the entire UFC!"
"Crazy Chinese guy, but I don't know why, I just fell in love with him!"
In the eyes of foreign audiences, Xiao Yong’s declaration has both doubters and supporters!
But looking at the domestic audience! Ninety-nine percent of the audience are supportive!
"Xiao Yong is invincible and dominates the UFC!"
"It's so inspiring! I want to be the GOTA of mixed martial arts! You're awesome!"
"My eldest brother is so ruthless, can he not be the boss?"
"These old foreigners must be killed!"
For most domestic audiences, they simply don’t understand the difficulty involved!
In their opinion, if Xiao Yong can win one championship, he can win more championships!
They just like to watch Xiao Yong win the game, like to watch Xiao Yong win the gold belt, and like to watch Xiao Yong be arrogant and domineering!
So they support Xiao Yong unconditionally!
Dana White already doesn’t know what to say!
Even though he likes players who are arrogant and big-mouthed, Xiao Yong's declaration definitely exceeded his expectations!
Even if Xiao Yong said he wanted to win three levels of gold belts, he didn't think it was too much.
But if there are only five openings, doesn’t that mean we’re going to flatten the UFC?
To put it nicely, this is called swallowing up mountains and rivers with anger; to put it badly, this is Yelang’s arrogance!
Of course, Dana Bai didn't understand the idiom, but what she was thinking in her heart was probably this feeling.
But now is obviously not the time to ruin the scenery!
His expression froze at first, then he laughed and said: "Haha! Our champion is very ambitious! Then I hope you can get your wish! I also hope to witness the birth of a legend!"
On the sidelines, Jenny Benster looked at Xiao Yong who made arrogant declarations in the octagonal cage, and murmured to himself: "This guy is really charming in the octagonal cage!"
Compared with the general aesthetic of young men in China, as a Mexican, she likes strong men and crazy guys!
Xiao Yong has muscles all over his body, well-defined angles, and is extremely powerful.
Coupled with the fierce and crazy face, the competitive temperament displayed is actually particularly attractive.
This is why Xiao Yong can have a large number of fans!
Post-match press conference!
As soon as Xiao Yong appeared on the stage, the flash lights kept going off!
As soon as he sat down, a reporter immediately asked: "Xiao, are you telling the truth? Do you really want to win the five-level gold belt?"
Xiao Yong smiled and said: "Of course, I think I can do it!"
"Don't you think your remarks are disrespectful to other weight champions?" The reporter's question this time was very sharp!
Xiao Yong said softly: "Of course not. I respect everyone, whether they have achieved results or not, but I also have a clear understanding of my own strength. I think I can do it, and I can do it."
, as for whether it can be done in the future, please wait and see!"
"Xiao, will you agree to a rematch with Khabib?"
Hearing this question, Xiao Yong thought for a moment and said seriously: "If he really wants to fight again, I will give him a chance!"
Xiao Yong is very serious about this.
This is also his recognition of Habib's strength.
Since Xiao Yong’s debut, Khabib is definitely the strongest opponent he has encountered so far!
Although Khabib lost, he actually posed a lot of threats to Xiao Yong during the game and made many moves, which meant that the victory was on the line!
In Xiao Yong's view, if such an opponent wins, it would be a bit unkind to not give him a chance to fight again!
To put it bluntly, after winning the game, the opponent did not even have a chance to take revenge, which is actually somewhat unjustifiable.
However, this is only limited to opponents whose strength Xiao Yong recognizes.
For example, against Dustin Poirier or Conor, Xiao Yong will definitely not fight a second time.
Because even if they fight ten times, they can't win the game!
But if it were to happen again, Xiao Yong felt that Habib still had a chance to win, but it was just a chance!
The press conference did not last long. Xiao Yong followed the team out of the competition venue and returned to the hotel.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the hotel, I found Jenny Buster standing at the door with two bodyguards.
"Hi!"
Jenny said hello, Xiao Yong rolled his eyes and tried to ignore it!
"Xiao! Why are you going! You didn't see me saying hello to you!"
Jenny Benster stepped forward and stopped Xiao Yong!
At this time, everyone in the team looked at Xiao Yong.
Xiao Yong said helplessly: "Sorry, I'm a little tired, I want to go back to the room to rest!
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry about what happened last time. It was my fault! I think we can still make friends aside from business." Jenny Benster's attitude was very low and she apologized to Xiao Yong seriously.
Xiao Yong didn't expect that as the CEO of Becle Group, she would be able to achieve this.
Xiao Yong smiled and said: "Okay, let the past be in the past. We have always been friends, haven't we? But I really have to go back to the room to rest now. I am very tired! I am really tired. It is not easy to beat Khabib."
easy!"
Xiao Yong didn't know what this woman was thinking, and he didn't bother to pester her.
Just make fun of it and deal with it.
But Jenny Benster was very happy and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can go and have a rest. I will treat you to dinner another day, and I will definitely pay the bill this time!"
Xiao Yong nodded and entered the hotel with his team.
"This foreign girl seems to be interested in you. Do you know her? What does she do?"
Zheng Tiequan asked curiously, after all, as far as he was concerned, he had never seen Jenny Benster!
"The CEO of Becle Group, the one who sponsors Connor's drinks, wanted to acquire shares of our liquor brand last time, but I rejected him."
Xiao Yong did not say what happened to the two of them after that, but only gave a general information about their identities.
Zheng Tiequan touched his chin and joked: "Isn't this inappropriate for a rich woman? If you don't like it, I won't be polite!"
Xiao Yong said with a smile: "You go get a haircut, get your hair straightened, and mend your pleats. I think they can make you a driver!"
Lao Zheng was very unconvinced: "As for me, I'm not as scary as you staring at me!"
"hehe!"
Lao Zheng looked at Xiao Yong and suddenly asked: "Are you serious about what you said today?"
Even he couldn't believe that what Xiao Yong said today was serious.
Xiao Yong nodded.
"You shouldn't say that, it seems too frivolous." Old Zheng sighed.
Xiao Yong grinned, his eyes full of light: "You are not arrogant and waste your youth! I am still very young, old guy! I have already won the championship you dreamed of back then, and I will win more championships!
"
Looking at the disciple with light in his eyes, Zheng Tiequan clenched his fists!
Maybe...he really can become a legend!
Xiao Yong wins a lightweight championship!
In China, in the world of yellow people, it is already a legend.
But looking at the entire martial arts world, Xiao Yong's resume is still not rich enough for top players.
What do champion players generally compete against?
First PPV sale!
The boxer with higher PPV sales ability will have a greater say in today's boxing world!
However, this does not involve historical status.
If you want to talk about historical status, then PPV is not an important consideration. Record performance and dominance during the same period are the standards for measuring a boxer!
Generally speaking, if a boxer completes multiple consecutive title defenses within this level, then he can be called a god of this level.
For example, GSP was originally known as the second best for his twelve consecutive victories, but as Usman broke his winning streak and completed multiple title defenses, this title was naturally transferred to Usman.
This is without cross-level combat, but if cross-level combat
Players who win two gold belts will have a very high historical status. To some extent, they can be compared with players who have defended the title for a long time!
Of course, there are many other comparisons involved, such as is it a complete victory record? For example, what is the finishing rate?
Are there any controversial matches?
This requires detailed analysis.
But based on the current UFC, if someone really gets three levels of gold belts!
Then he can definitely compete for the top three positions in history. If he completes a few more title defenses and a certain level of winning streak, he will be able to secure his No. 1 spot in history!
But in comparison, even ruling a level for ten years may not have this effect.
This shows the value of multiple belts.
The current Xiao Yong is just a guy who just got the gold belt.
Comparing the records of UFC champions who have defended their titles many times, they are still a little weak!
But he shouted such a slogan, and for a while, all high-level UFC players were dissatisfied with Xiao Yong!
Covington, who was in the junior middle school, publicly stated: "Xiao Yong? He is just a rookie who won the championship once! What he said is simply ridiculous. If he dares to move up to the junior middle school, I can beat him! Chinese people
, just play at a small level!"
Covington is actually an extremist who pursues white supremacy, so he looks down on Xiao Yong at all!
But this time, not only him, but also many experts expressed doubts about Xiao Yong's remarks!
For example, Chimaev also said: "Although he defeated Khabib, if he comes to the middle, he will be pushed to the ground by me and it will be difficult to get up. I have a heavier weight and a stronger body than Khabib."
!He is definitely no match for me!"
Several champions, including several champions, expressed dissatisfaction with Xiao Yong's remarks!
Heavyweight champion Jagged Ngannou said directly: "Xiao Yong should learn to respect the weight of the competition. The gap between lightweight and heavyweight is just like that between adults and children. If he really comes to heavyweight, I think with his
Due to his physical condition, he cannot make it into the top ten. There is only one Michael Tyson!"
The reason why Ngannou said this is also very simple, because Xiao Yong's height is only 178cm!
That's a very short height for a heavyweight!
Although Tyson also won the boxing heavyweight championship with his height, but as Ngannou said, there is only one Tyson!
That was an existence with absolutely extraordinary talents. He didn't think Xiao Yong was such a existence!
There were many doubts and ridicules from foreign boxers, and the media mainly focused their coverage on Xiao Yong’s post-match declaration!
After all, in their opinion, although Xiao Yong defeated a strong opponent and won the gold belt, the event itself was far less interesting than his post-match speech!
Domestically, it’s a completely different scene!
"The power of China, Xiao Yong creates history and brings glory to the country!"
"Xiao Yong wins the world championship! Violently KOs the Eagle King Khabib and is crowned the lightweight king!"
"Khabib's jaw bone is broken, how powerful is Xiao Yong's knee strike!"
"Mountains and rivers are like dreams, Xiao Yong achieves the Chinese fighting dream!"
The major news media started crazy campaign and praise!
Just like Liu Feiren won the championship back then!
There were overwhelming reports, and videos of the roaring tsunami on the Internet.
Make Xiao Yong, who is already well known to everyone, even more famous.
Antai also made a lot of money, and the champion series of suits of the Yama brand were launched accordingly.
In ten days, sales reached 4 billion!
After winning the championship, Xiao Yong's domestic reputation has risen again!
And the happiest person in this game is Dana White!
For the match between Xiao Yong and Khabib, PPV sales reached an astonishing 3.4 million copies!
You know, except for Mayweather's game, no boxing boxer can produce such a terrifying sales volume for PPV!
In a sense, the UFC has made a lot of money in recent years, especially the matches of big-name stars. PPV sales can easily reach millions, which even boxers may not be able to match.
But compared to the treatment of both parties, UFC fighters still get relatively little.
This is mainly different from the operating models of both players!
There are four major boxing organizations in boxing, and boxers also have independent management companies to run competitions.
Boxers have a high say.
But the UFC is the dominant company in mixed martial arts, so you don’t want to fight? Yes, you can leave, but if you leave the UFC and go elsewhere, you will only earn less!
This is Dana White’s confidence!
In this game, Xiao Yong’s appearance fee is 8 million, while Khabib’s fee is 6 million.
Xiao Yong is taller than Khabib!
The unit price of PPV is even higher than before, $89 per copy!
Xiao Yong's PPV share in this game was a full 52 million US dollars!
The UFC's ticket revenue is more than 100 million US dollars, plus PPV revenue of about 150 million.
The two incomes totaled US$250 million!
This does not include advertising revenue and revenue from domestic platforms!
This is also the reason why Dana Bai has a good attitude towards Xiao Yong!
On the domestic platform, the total number of payers this time reached 14 million!
Advertising sponsorship is nearly 200 million RMB!
Although the domestic unit price is much lower than PPV!
But this population base is large enough, and it is also a very generous income!
Among them, Xiao Yong received a total income of 25 million US dollars!
Total revenue was $85 million!
In one game, Xiao Yong received extremely generous rewards!
But De La Hoya is not very satisfied, and the reason is very simple. He feels that Xiao Yong's PPV share is a bit small!
The last time he competed with Conor, he already knew that Conor's share of the UFC was higher than that of Xiao Yong!
And it’s not just a little bit higher!
In Hoya's view, this is unacceptable!
After all, Xiao Yong is now the best-selling UFC CPPV player!
He should naturally get the highest share!
Dana White's office.
Hoya is staring closely at Dana Bai. In this aspect, he and Xiao Yong are consistent.
"Dana, Xiao Yong's current PPV share is too small! Twenty-five percent! For a superstar who can sell 3.4 million PPV copies, it is too small!"
When talking about this topic, Dana White jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on and said: "How much did he get from the PPV share of a game? Fifty million US dollars! Five thousand US dollars! And he did this match.
His appearance fee is also 8 million U.S. dollars! He earned more than 85 million U.S. dollars in one game! Even the highest-paid players in the boxing world may not be as good as him! What else do you want?"
Dana Bai was very excited and her voice was very loud!
Although in terms of appearance fees, 8 million US dollars is somewhat insufficient compared to boxing superstars.
But combined with PPV income and various royalties, Xiao Yong's income is definitely unparalleled in today's boxing world.
Hoya sneered: "Dana, you have to know that those people can't sell so much PPV revenue! With Xiao Yong's current popularity, the guaranteed sales for each game will be millions! Do you think that every boxing
Can you do this with your hands?"
Dana Bai gritted his teeth and said: "Then the increase can be up to five percent! No more!"
"Thirty percent of the total income? That's okay!" Hoya said softly.
You know, the platform has a fixed commission of 30%. What Xiao Yong takes now is a percentage share with UFC after taking the commission. If the total commission is taken, then this number will be a lot!
Taking this game as an example, Xiao Yong's PPV share for a single game may reach 100 million US dollars!
How could Dana Bai agree to such a condition? He immediately said: "No, it's after dividing!"
"Then Xiao Yong must get at least 45%, no less than Connor!"
Obviously, De La Hoya has figured out Connor's share ratio.
Of course he has his own channels.
Upon hearing this, Dana Bai's tone suddenly froze!
In fact, he also guessed that this day would come sooner or later.
As Xiao Yong continues to create various sales records, the other party will definitely choose to raise the price!
Dana Bai rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, but we signed an eight-game contract at the beginning. Let's implement the new plan after the game contract. After all, I have already increased Xiao Yong's appearance fee during the contract period!
"
An eight-game contract was originally signed.
Later, thinking that the appearance fee would be increased, the two parties signed a supplementary agreement.
But essentially, the contract is still within the execution period.
Now Xiao Yong has beaten Michael Johnson, Kevin Lee, Dustin Poirier, Tony Ferguson, Conor McGregor, and Khabib, a total of six players!
In other words, under normal circumstances, Xiao Yong still has a contract for two games.
Hoya looked at Dana Bai, his face gradually darkened.
Obviously, he was not satisfied with this answer.
You know, the implementation of the sharing plan for this night's game will involve tens of millions of dollars in revenue!
It is also a loss to him!
"Hmph, Dana, we'll see you next time, but I want to remind you that Mayweather's agent has already contacted me. Xiao Yong is probably going to play in a cross-border competition. As for when he will return, I will let you know.
!”
Hoya got up and left directly.
Hearing Hoya's words, Dana Bai also darkened his face.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have given him the right to cross borders in the first place!" Dana Bai said through gritted teeth.
"However, there are additional regulations for the right to cross the border. As long as you lose the game, it will not be that easy if you want to cross the border again!"
He doesn’t think Xiao Yong can beat Mayweather at all!
Because Mayweather will never follow MMA rules and will only box with Xiao Yong!
That guy is undefeated in fifty fights in his career!
Soon, Xiao Yong received a call from Hoya.
"Dana White agreed to a 45% share, but he required that the eight-game contract be played out before the new contract could be implemented!"
After hearing Hoya's report, Xiao Yong smiled and said: "That's okay, after all, the contract has been signed!"
"No! Xiao! You can't agree to him! You have already suffered a lot in the past few games! How can a player who can sell PPV like you get such a low share? That is absolutely not possible! We have to operate anyway
Cross-border battle! Believe me, Dana will be anxious! As long as you reduce the frequency of playing, he will cry and hold up the contract to beg you to go back to play! And you really need to rest!"
Hoya said to Xiao Yong.
Otherwise, how can we say that the agent is the person the boss hates the most?
Even though Xiao Yong felt it was a bit unfair, Xiao Yong felt it was reasonable when Dana White said that the contract must be fulfilled.
But on De La Hoya's side, that's completely impossible.
In his opinion, Dana White's actions were purely about squeezing the boxer's value.
However, Xiao Yong did not refuse, because he was indeed talking about a cross-border war.
In the MMA ring, if you want Fu to beat Conor.
But looking at the entire world of boxing, only by fighting Mayweather can one truly increase his worth.
As a super boxing champion with 50 wins and zero losses in his career, the values of all the boxers who have fought Mayweather have skyrocketed!
Nowadays, the top two PPV sales records are the Mayweather-Pacquiao match, and the Mayweather-Conor McGregor cross-border battle!
For Xiao Yong, he also wants to have a match with this boxing master!
Because his next step is to move up in weight and challenge the welterweight class.
At that time, the weight gap between the two sides will be very large, and Mayweather will definitely not fight. Only now can there be a chance to promote a fight between the two!
Xiao Yong's ambition is actually only half revealed!
He wants to be a GOTA!
In addition to becoming the GOTA of mixed martial arts, he also became the GOTA of the entire boxing world!
To do this, he needs to defeat more opponents!
After all, boxing is still the number one among combat sports so far!
