Xiao Yong looked at Hoya in front of him and smiled slightly. Hoya took the initiative to lower the share ratio.
For him, this is naturally a good thing!
Seven percentage points may not be much for the average person.
But for Xiao Yong's current income, it is a lot.
De La Hoya was able to voluntarily give up the benefits he had obtained, obviously because he did not want any conflict between the two of them.
Although De La Hoya also has a lot of selfish motives in arranging the cross-border competition, from the current point of view, after Xiao Yong defeats Mayweather, he will definitely become the number one fighter.
At this time, De La Hoya still values the relationship between the two more.
Especially since Alvarez left Golden Boy, De La Hoya valued Xiao Yong even more.
"Okay then, let's do as you say."
Actually speaking, Xiao Yong also considered going solo.
The reason is precisely because of the sharing ratio. In Xiao Yong's opinion, the 17% sharing ratio is actually a bit too high.
No one is a saint whose money is like dung.
And within the industry, superstars’ share is generally not so high!
But Xiao Yong never mentioned it and was still considering it.
This time De La Hoya took the initiative, and Xiao Yong was very satisfied with it.
In fact, Xiao Yong still needs De La Hoya to help him deal with some things.
Taking this preparation as an example, if it were not for De La Hoya, he would never have thought of inviting Traynes Crawford as a sparring partner.
Judging from the sparring effect, this guy has been very helpful to Xiao Yong!
Therefore, Xiao Yong still recognizes De La Hoya's working ability.
Including contract negotiations and docking with sparring partners, De La Hoya will try his best to help him strive for the best interests. From this aspect, De La Hoya is also very conscientious.
Now that De La Hoya has taken the initiative to reduce the share, the hidden conflicts between the two parties have been resolved.
De La Hoya's choice is actually inevitable. Now Xiao Yong, as long as he wants, there will be a lot of boxing agents willing to accept his financial contract.
Everyone knows that it will be the best opportunity to make big money.
"By the way, Dana has already called me. He wants me to return to the Octagon. What do you think?" Xiao Yong looked at De La Hoya and asked.
De La Hoya laughed: "Of course you can now, but the contract still needs to be renegotiated. I think it's time to meet him again!"
"Then leave it to you."
Xiao Yong stretched his waist!
After defeating Mayweather, his interest in boxing dropped a lot. Compared with the restricted boxing ring, he still prefers the octagonal cage with more open rules.
I just want to say that it’s good to have a boxing match once in a while, and fighting against such a top boxer will help a lot in improving Xiao Yong’s boxing skills.
Through this period of training, Xiao Yong's boxing skills and strength have been greatly improved compared to before!
However, the boxing skills in the octagonal cage are still very different from those in the boxing ring, including the position of the arm and the way of striking.
De La Hoya asked curiously: "Then do you want to defend your title first or move up in weight?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. You have to negotiate the contract first. After it's done, I'll think about it again!"
Xiao Yong smiled casually.
For him, at this time, he has a great say!
You can arrange your next plans as you like!
And no matter who Xiao Yong wants to fight, no one will refuse!
"Okay!" Hoya agreed.
soon!
Hoya met Dana White again.
"Haha! De La Hoya, you're here, I'm ready for the new contract!" Dana Bai stepped forward and greeted enthusiastically.
Since Xiao Yong defeated Mayweather, Xiao Yong's reputation has spread all over the world!
The influence is simply too great.
The headline of every sports newspaper is Xiao Yong!
For a time, Xiao Yong slaughtered sports newspapers in various countries.
This is especially true in beautiful countries!
Although many people wanted to see Mayweather get beaten up, when the day actually came, it still shocked too many people!
Many people originally thought this was a match without any suspense, but it turned out that Mayweather was knocked out by Xiao Yong in the sixth round!
Now Xiao Yong can be said to be the most popular person in the entire fighting circle!
At this point, Dana Bai naturally knew that he needed to make concessions!
De La Hoya took the contract and read it carefully.
Forty-five percent of the PPV share is clearly written into the contract!
De La Hoya was not in a hurry, but smiled and said: "Xiao Yong wants to return to the Octagon, which is one of the reasons why I came, but there is another point, Xiao Yong's appearance fee! There is no problem with PPV sharing.
But I think Xiao Yong’s appearance fee for his next game should still be mentioned! We need an offer that matches Xiao Yong’s status! He must be the only superstar in the UFC now!”
As for the issue of appearance fees, I have said before that this is something Dana White is absolutely unwilling to face.
He would rather give Xiao Yong more PPV shares, but once the basic appearance fee increases, it will be too much to look at Xiao Yong!
But as far as Xiao Yong is concerned, PPV is a hidden thing after all. What the audience values more is the intuitive appearance fee, which can better reflect his worth!
Dana White fell into deep thought and finally said: "If Xiao Yong continues to win, I can give him a price of 15 million for a single game!"
De La Hoya shook his head and said: "Too little, at least 30 million US dollars! If I contact him for a boxing match now, the appearance fee for each match will not be less than this number!"
Dana White naturally knows that what Hoya said is right!
And judging from the match between Xiao Yong and Mayweather, Xiao Yong is fully capable of boxing!
The most terrifying thing is that Xiao Yong has independent authority to cross borders! As long as Xiao Yong does not lose, he cannot stop Xiao Yong from crossing borders!
After a moment of silence, Dana White gritted his teeth and said: "Thirty million US dollars is impossible! And Oliveira has won many games in a row. If Xiao Yong doesn't accept his challenge, I may take away Xiao Yong's gold belt!"
This is one of the few chips he has!
So he started talking about him left and right!
De La Hoya smiled and said: "Dana, what we are talking about now is the appearance fee, not Xiao's gold belt. When he returns to the Octagon, whether he will move up in weight or defend the title depends on Xiao Yong's thoughts. If you really don't want to do this
For the money, I think Alvarez might not mind a fight with Xiao Yong!"
Ever since Xiao Yong defeated Mayweather, Alvarez started calling Xiao Yong crazy again!
From the perspective of a top boxing champion like Alvarez, defeating an aging Mayweather is nothing worth bragging about.
Although he was beaten badly by Mayweather...
But he was still young then...
The main thing is that everyone knows that once the match with the current Xiao Yong is finalized, it will be a large amount of US dollars!
Some promotion companies are willing to host a match between two people!
Therefore, he frequently calls Zhen Xiaoyong on social media!
"Come on, have a fight with me, and I will let you know what a real boxing champion is!"
"Are you a coward? You only dare to hit the old man?"
"Xiao, you know who is the real strong one! Are you afraid?"
These days, Alvarez keeps making these remarks.
Everyone can see that he is very eager to compete with Xiao Yong!
In fact, not only him, there are many boxing champions named Zhen Xiaoyong!
If a boxer wants to improve his record, it depends on how many consecutive victories he has. The main thing is the PPV sales.
PPV sales are not good, then there is only one way!
Go hit someone with a higher value!
This is also their best opportunity to increase their worth!
Take Mayweather as an example. Before defeating De La Hoya, his worth was not too high!
After he defeated De La Hoya, he truly became a world-class boxing champion.
The same was true for Alvarez back then. Challenging Mayweather was the key battle to increase his worth.
Although we lost the game, we did raise the appearance fee a lot!
Now, his net worth is almost the number one in the active boxing world.
But according to Alvarez, this is not enough!
He wants to fight for money! He wants a higher net worth!
And if he wants to increase his worth, he can only fight Mayweather and Xiao Yong!
Mayweather has long publicly stated that he will never fight professionally again, so his only goal is Xiao Yong!
Because only Xiao Yong’s worth is currently in a unique position!
The same goes for the other boxing champions. They all want to have a match with Xiao Yong and make a lot of money!
In the UFC, there are more and more masters calling on Xiao Yong.
Charles Oliveira, Usman, Bones Jones and others are all shouting out to Xiao Yong!
Especially the welterweight masters, everyone knows that it is very challenging for a boxer to move up in weight. They all hope that Xiao Yong will move up in weight so that he can compete with Xiao Yong!
Once you defeat Xiao Yong, you will immediately become a superstar boxer!
It can be said that Xiao Yong now is just a piece of Tang Monk meat. As long as he competes with Xiao Yong, it means a lot of US dollars are entered into the account!
Dana Bai looked at Hoya, his face full of tangles!
A basic appearance fee of $30 million?
Although Xiao Yong can definitely make money from his current competition, the price is still something he is not willing to bear!
Xiao Yong’s asking price reaches 30 million, but what about Conor McGregor behind him?
Is it worth 25 million?
What about the next boxers? How many million dollars more will they cost?
"Twenty million US dollars at most! Any more is impossible!" Dana Bai compromised. Twenty million US dollars was the maximum he could bear!
Thirty million? Absolutely impossible!
De La Hoya and Dana White had another argument, but Dana White was determined. The most he could offer was a guaranteed appearance fee of US$20 million per game plus a 45% PPV share.
This is already the only top-level contract in the UFC.
Seeing that the conversation could not continue, Hoya went to seek Xiao Yong's opinion.
Xiao Yong thought for a moment and chose to agree.
Both sides can be considered as taking a step back.
After finalizing the contract, Xiao Yong came to the UFC headquarters, where the two parties re-signed the contract and completed the signing ceremony.
This time, the two parties signed a contract for ten games.
This made Dana Bai feel relieved a lot, and the liquidated damages were set to 200 million US dollars!
However, Xiao Yong still has the authority to challenge cross-border challenges.
Seeing Xiao Yong sign his name on the contract, Dana White smiled and said: "Xiao, who do you want to fight in the next game?"
Xiao Yong thought for a while and said: "Oliviera is very powerful recently. Many people say that he will be the end of my existence, right? Then beat him, this will be my last in the lightweight class.
If I beat him in a game, no one can question my dominance of the lightweight division!"
In fact, during this period of time, Oliveira has been on a winning streak and has great momentum.
Although Xiao Yong doesn't think Oliveira can really pose any threat to him.
But the outside world doesn't think so. After all, Oliveira has also defeated the diamond Dustin Poirier, the flat-headed brother Gage, the Night Stalker Tony Ferguson, and basically defeated the top UFC masters again!
Can you say that he is not strong?
If Xiao Yong wants to become GOTA, he must show dominance as much as possible!
Dana White smiled and said, "Okay! I'll contact him right away!"
Will Oliveira agree to play?
This is almost inevitable, because fighting Xiao Yong now is what every boxer dreams of!
Xiao Yong also immediately posted a tweet!
"Announcing the news that I am about to return to the Octagon, Oliveira called me out after the game! As the current lightweight champion, I want him to know how big the gap is between him and me! One round, one round.
End the fight!"
Xiao Yong is really confident now!
Oliveira is very strong, but in Xiao Yong’s eyes, he is not strong enough!
Among the lightweights, if there is a player who can pose a threat to Xiao Yong, it is Khabib. Although Oliveira looks more versatile, Xiao Yong is still confident of defeating him!
Xiao Yong even made a round of bold words!
This time, everyone was stunned.
You, Xiao Yong, are strong, but you are too rampant in one round.
Including Oliveira was also very unhappy. He immediately posted a message: "The game is over in one round? Are you going to admit defeat?"
What he meant was very obvious, that is, unless Xiao Yong voluntarily admits defeat, it is impossible to end the game in one round.
As Dana White finalized the match between the two, and the interaction between the two, it immediately attracted media reports!
"Destroy Oliveira in one round, arrogance or confidence?"
"Does Xiao Yong have the dominance and can he successfully defend his title?"
"Can Oliveira put an end to the Chinese Yama?"
Various reports appeared in beautiful Chinese newspapers.
Because of his match with Mayweather, Xiao Yong has not competed in the Octagon for nearly a year.
During this period, Oliveira won consecutive battles, showing her super strength.
Originally, people thought that Xiao Yong would show his respect for him, but no one expected that Xiao Yong would publicly declare that the game could be ended in one round.
Hua Xia, Zheng Tiequan, Xiao Yong and others are having a dinner together.
Comrade Lao Zheng also asked this question: "Why do you say you can finish him in one round? That guy seems to be very strong! He has won ten consecutive victories!"
Xiao Yong laughed while eating: "Because I really think I can knock him down in one round! He is indeed very strong, but he is like a weakened version of me. If my ability value is 100
, in my opinion, his ability value is only 80 at most, but the players he faces are difficult to compete with in terms of ground skills and wrestling! They all have obvious shortcomings! If he faced me, what do you think he has?
Advantage?"
Continuous victories have given Xiao Yong absolutely strong self-confidence!
Just listen to Xiao Yong continue to say: "Although this guy is very strong in jiu-jitsu, he is not a player like Khabib who mainly focuses on wrestling. He likes to combine standing and wrestling. I have watched his game videos, and he
In terms of standing, he was knocked around or hit hard by his opponents many times. Although the people he faced also had very strong standing skills, to be blunt, my fists were heavier than all of them! His
This style of play means that if I seize the opportunity, the game will be over in an instant!"
Seeing Xiao Yong's serious analysis, Zheng Tiequan was a little confused.
He smiled and sighed: "It seems like yesterday that I taught you a lesson for the first time, and now you can give me a lesson."
Xiao Yong smiled and said: "The main reason is that I progress too fast. After all, I am a genius!"
"I admit this, your kid's progress is really fast...you are a complete monster." Zheng Tiequan complained!
Xiao Yong's speed in picking up various techniques was so fast that he couldn't understand it.
Including a boxing fight with Mayweather, can he actually win?
Zheng Tie felt incredible.
It was as if he had fought many matches since his first time in the boxing ring.
He was really pleased to witness Xiao Yong’s growth all the way!
On this day, Lao Zheng drank a lot of wine and was very happy!
He knew very well that he was witnessing the rise of the Chinese fighting legend!
Once the match between Charles Oliveira and Xiao Yong was announced, the happiest people were the Samba audience!
In mixed martial arts, Samba Country has too many legendary fighters.
The Gracie family in the early years! Featherweight king Jose Aldo! Middleweight king Spider Silva!
It's just that as time goes by, these people no longer reach their peak, slowly wither away, and step down from the throne.
Slowly, the Samba Kingdom lost its dominant master in the octagonal cage!
In fact, mixed martial arts is developing extremely well in Samba Country. The match between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor was known as the battle between two countries!
This shows how much attention it receives!
And this time, Charles Oliveira once again represented the martial arts glory of Samba, winning continuously all the way to the throne of the lightweight championship challenge!
This made the Samba audience extremely excited!
They want to see Oliveira re-create the glory of samba martial arts!
Moreover, Oliveira’s experience is so inspiring. The children who came out of the Samba slum were even considered by doctors to be at risk of losing their ability to move!
But in the end it reached its peak. Xiao Yong's movie is an inspirational movie, and Oliveira's life is a counterattack in reality!
So many people in Samba country want to see him succeed!
Just some people are happy and some are unhappy.
For example, the UFC welterweight masters!
During this time, Covington publicly stated: "Didn't Xiao Yong say he wanted to move up in weight? Why did he defend his title in the lightweight category again? Isn't he cowardly?"
Including the champion Usman also tweeted through his personal social media: "I will wait for him in the championship position of the junior middle. If he is willing to come to the junior middle, I am willing to compete with him at any time!"
Chimaev even uttered wild words: "Xiao Yong can't fight in the welterweight class at all, he can only talk about it!"
Faced with these people's remarks, Xiao Yong quickly responded: "The match with Oliveira will be my last match at lightweight. As for those junior middle-level masters who want to compete with me,
Just try to improve your rankings as much as possible, only those with the highest rankings are qualified to compete with me!"
As soon as this statement came out, the media once again triggered reports!
"Can Xiao Yong defeat Oliveira in the last lightweight lightweight match?"
"Xiao Yong discusses weight gain and completely ignores Oliveira!"
"If Xiao Yong defeats Oliveira, he will prove his dominance!"
Oliveira was really angry when he saw these news, and he once again spoke out on social media.
"Xiao Yong needs to learn to respect his opponents. I have won ten consecutive victories! I will hit the record for the longest winning streak in the lightweight class! If he can't beat me, moving up to a heavier weight will be a joke!"
