Not every player has the courage to enter the UFC. For most people, there is nothing wrong with making the choice to maximize their profits.
After all, in life, who doesn’t want to be less stressed and live more comfortably?
This is the case for this Chinese athlete who just won the ONE Championship.
Xiao Yong did not have any objections to his choice. Instead, he sent blessings on his personal social media.
For Xiao Yong, he is very happy to see the boxers in his boxing gym succeed one by one.
Because the success of these people will set a good example for domestic fighting enthusiasts.
In this world, although some people want to reach the highest peak, they also need a large number of backbones.
As long as we can make more progress than in the past, that is enough.
Shanhe Boxing Gym also became a hot topic again because of this incident.
For the next period of time, Xiao Yong will train every day and spend time with his family.
Rarely appears in public.
When he appeared in public again, it was already on the eve of his match with Usman.
The venue for the match between Xiao Yong and Usman has been set in the capital of China.
So the press conference was also held in China!
At the press conference, Xiao Yong and Usman attended together.
When Xiao Yong appeared in front of everyone again, everyone discovered that Xiao Yong had become stronger.
Xiao Yong's current weight has reached 87 kilograms!
That's 174 pounds, and his body is basically all muscle.
Xiao Yong, who was wearing short-sleeved shirts, had his arms exposed and his muscles were significantly larger than before.
Xiao Yong has completed weight gain!
However, he still maintains a weight difference of ten kilograms, which will be lost through dehydration before the competition.
With his strong muscles and Xiao Yong's ferocious face, Xiao Yong now gives people an even more oppressive feeling!
At the press conference, Dana White also came in person.
Hundreds of reporters and media came to the scene!
Most of them are domestic media, and Xiao Yong’s popularity in China is still terrifyingly high!
Xiao Yong is the first Chinese who can win championships and demonstrate dominance in sports with great international influence!
Moreover, Xiao Yong has been the highest-paid athlete in Forbes for many consecutive years!
This also makes domestic audiences proud!
Of course, this is mainly because Xiao Yong has lifetime sponsorship from Shanhe Winery and Antai.
The income from these two industries is beyond the reach of other athletes!
By sponsoring Xiao Yong, Anta surpassed Nike and became the leader in domestic sports brand sales!
And Xiao Yong also received a lot of money from drinks and lifetime sponsorship!
Even in the year of the match with Mayweather, he still beat Mayweather and became the first in the athlete income rankings!
Especially with the internal fighting within the Becle Group, external competitiveness has inevitably been affected.
Xiao Yong's tequila drinks have also taken advantage of the situation to capture a lot of market share.
Of course, it is unrealistic to say that Golden Happy Tequila will be completely squeezed out of the American market.
But in China, these drinks produced by Shanhe Winery have begun to gradually dominate the domestic market of similar drinks!
This also results in Xiao Yong's annual income not being very low.
This is the biggest difference between Xiao Yong and other athletes.
But having said that, the current Xiao Yong is definitely the number one in the world even if it’s just from boxing!
Because his PPV income is so considerable.
During the last match against Oliveira, Xiao Yong also earned US$120 million per match!
Domestic dividends, PPV dividends, plus a guaranteed appearance fee of two thousand US dollars, in other words, Xiao Yong is already comparable to Mbappe, the most valuable player in football today, in one game.
Therefore, in this game, Usman's value has also skyrocketed!
His basic appearance fee skyrocketed to two million US dollars!
Although it is only one-tenth of Xiao Yong's, it is much more than the previous guaranteed appearance fee of five to six million US dollars!
And once he beats Xiao Yong, his worth will definitely skyrocket!
This is why many athletes hope to fight Xiao Yong!
At the press conference, Usman and Xiao Yong sat down at the same time.
Dana White said with a smile on his face: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Our two champions are about to fight! This is the match that everyone is looking forward to. If Xiao Yong wins, he will become the eighth UFC double champion.
The champion will also be the second guy to hold two championship belts at the same time, now you can ask questions!"
Dana White is right, if Xiao Yong wins, he will become the eighth UFC champion to win two levels of championships!
He is also the second UFC fighter to win two levels of championships at the same time.
Because so far, Xiao Yong has not been deprived of his lightweight championship.
In other words, Dana Bai did it deliberately.
After Xiao Yong defeated Oliveira, no one in the entire lightweight category is qualified to challenge Xiao Yong for the time being.
Although Makhachev also has a winning streak, this guy really has no intention of beating Xiao Yong.
Since Khabib can't beat Xiao Yong, there is no need for him to say more.
Rather than defeating Xiao Yong, he hopes to maintain his winning streak and win the lightweight championship!
So he has set his sights on Oliveira.
At the interview site, as soon as Dana White said that reporters could interview, a reporter immediately picked up the microphone and asked Usman: "Usman, do you think Xiao Yong can break your winning streak?"
After entering the UFC, Usman has not lost a single game in the past seven years, winning a total of fifteen consecutive games!
It can be said that it is full of dominance!
Usman shook his head and said: "Of course not. The winner of this game will only be me. Xiao Yong's dominance can only continue in the lightweight category, but when it comes to the junior high, it's a different world!"
Immediately, another reporter asked: "Will this competition be held in China and affect you?"
Usman shook his head and said: "Of course not. I'm not the kind of person who can't afford to lose. It would be ridiculous to complain about the loud boos after losing the game."
Hearing this, Xiao Yong frowned immediately.
Usman’s words have a hidden meaning.
Because there were Chinese players before who, after losing the game, complained that the boos were too loud and caused distraction.
This incident caused quite a heated discussion.
Many foreign players also ridiculed this.
In fact, to be honest, Xiao Yong does not agree with this reason. If he loses the game, he will never blame it on the boos at the scene.
At this time, a reporter looked at Xiao Yong and said: "Xiao, the reason why you chose Huaxia as the competition venue is because you want to use the home audience to influence your opponents?"
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】
Xiao Yong shook his head and said: "First of all, the location of this match was officially determined by the UFC and was not requested by me. Secondly, no matter in any venue, the impact that the audience can have on the players is very limited! If Usman
If you feel that you can’t accept playing in China, then you can completely change the venue to play! It’s the same everywhere!”
Xiao Yong has played many times at his opponent's home court and has been booed many times, but he will never use this as an excuse.
Having said this, Xiao Yong smiled slightly and said: "But having said that, if I play in China, my condition will indeed be better! But I can't only play away games forever, I always have to play in my own country, right?
?”
Xiao Yong likes the atmosphere of competing in China very much.
Because of the enthusiastic support given to him by the audience, Xiao Yong was really excited.
Generally speaking, in this game, the pre-match press conferences of both sides did not have much atmosphere.
Usman himself is not the kind of player with a flamboyant personality.
Xiao Yong also recognizes Usman's strength, and he is not sure that he can beat Usman 100%!
This guy remains 100% fall-proof after all!
The technical level and completion are very high.
Xiao Yong didn't say anything about killing his opponent in one round.
And the competition between the two actually does not require too much excitement!
Just the achievements of the two of them are enough to attract attention!
Xiao Yong maintains a historical record of complete wins and complete finishes. As for Usman, he has won 15 consecutive games in seven years and is a legitimate mid-level hegemon.
Both of them are champions. Now that Xiao Yong has been promoted, the victory or defeat between the two is the biggest highlight!
Originally, most people were still optimistic about Usman, but after Xiao Yong defeated Covington offline, this view has shifted!
Now everyone is curious about who is stronger between Xiao Yong and Usman!
Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second!
The battle between the two masters has attracted the attention of the world!
Since Xiao Yong joined the UFC and defeated Mayweather, he has made great contributions to the global promotion of the UFC.
The UFC is even more influential than before!
And now, all boxing fans who follow UFC want to know where Xiao Yong's limit is!
This game will be held at the Bird's Nest!
Because the game is not held in a place like Abu Dhabi, the ticket price is much lower.
But even so, the cheapest ticket costs 1,000 yuan, and the most expensive ticket costs 100,000 yuan!
Compared with those in Abu Dhabi or the beautiful country, this fare is very conscientious.
But it still made UFC a hot search topic again.
Many people criticized Bai Da for taking money.
Because before, the most expensive UFC ticket in China was 16,000 yuan per ticket!
This time it more than doubled again.
"This bitch Dana White is really crazy about money!"
"The Bird's Nest has a total of 90,000 seats, the average ticket price is 5,000, and one game is 450 million RMB?"
“This is so profitable!”
"too expensive!"
As a result, many people went to the UFC official website to curse and faced the doubts of these netizens.
Dana White also specifically gave an explanation: "Currently, if Xiao Yong's game is held in any country, the ticket price will not be lower than this. In fact, this is already the lowest ticket price among Xiao Yong's recent games.
!”
Although Dana White's explanation was not accepted, the public was actually just looking for a place to vent. They also knew that the ticket prices for Xiao Yong's current games abroad were even more terrifying!
At this time, many people also had the same idea as Xiao Yong. It would be great if their country had such a top-level event!
As a result, many netizens rushed to Yang Lele’s social media to leave messages!
"When will the Tamron Showdown be turned into an event like the UFC?"
"It's true, all the money has been made by foreigners, let's gain some momentum in domestic competitions!"
"I shouldn't have scolded you for spending money indiscriminately before. If we get some experts here, we can also hold an awesome event and make a lot of money!"
Yang Lele has now set a deep personal mark on Tenglong Jue.
Beautiful boxing president!
The number of personal fans is over 10 million.
Faced with the change in attitude of these people, Yang Lele was quite helpless.
It’s really one idea a day.
But to be honest, Yang Lele has really taken over several UFC players during this time.
Some are UFC abandoners, and some are players who took the initiative to contact Yang Lele and inquired about the appearance fee, and then came if they felt they were suitable.
Although they are not very famous, their standards are definitely online, and their appearance fee is much cheaper than Kevin Lee.
As for Kevin Lee, after coming to Tenglong Jue, he is also invincible.
A strong body, strong ability to fight against blows, and good wrestling suppression make these domestic players who prefer to stand up miserable, and they can only continue to strengthen their anti-fall skills.
There is no way. If they want to make more money, there are few ways in front of them. They must either move to a higher level competition or compete with Kevin Lee.
This is the advantage of attracting high-level boxers.
It can diversify the style of competition.
Originally, most of these people were fighting stand-up players, but Kevin Lee can be considered a top-notch soft-wrestling player after all!
After joining, domestic boxers showed great discomfort!
But if they want to make more money, they have to make progress!
Xiao Yong has no intention of letting them make money easily. Giving them opportunities requires them to work hard.
This meal is for the strong!
As the competition date approaches, major domestic media outlets are reporting on the event basically every day.
At the same time, Xiao Yong’s highlights on major short video platforms have a very impressive number of views.
The same is true on the external network!
Chinese Yama vs. Nigerian Nightmare!
It can be said that in terms of competitive level, this game is definitely the pinnacle battle between the two levels!
The lightweight and welterweight divisions are recognized by the UFC as the two most competitive divisions.
Both Xiao Yong and Usman are the strongest at their respective levels, and as of now, both of them are dominant masters.
Everyone is curious, which one of these two is stronger and which one is weaker?
Just like when Habib stood on the lightweight throne, countless people questioned that Habib did not dare to move up to weight!
But now, Xiao Yong, who defeated Khabib, has moved up!
He wants to face the challenge head on!
As for the battle between the two, many players have also given their predictions!
Basically, both of them have supporters, so it is a 50-50 situation. In terms of peripheral betting, the same is true. The odds of the two are almost the same. It can be seen that no one can predict the outcome of this game between the two.
.
At the same time, Tony Ferguson is negotiating a contract with Yang Lele!
At this time, Tony's situation was not good. After losing to Xiao Yong, he lost consecutive battles and had no choice but to move up to the welterweight class. Although he got the opportunity to compete with Xiaoma Netez, he made a lot of money.
Pen, but also lost the game!
This made him completely lose his ambition!
After a losing streak, he also came up with the idea of earning more appearance fees.
So he contacted Yang Lele.
Hope to get a quotation contract.
Facing Tony Ferguson, Yang Lele still offered a contract worth 200,000 US dollars per game.
In fact, he received half a million dollars for the match between Tony Ferguson and Xiao Ma!
But that's because of his opponent, Manatez.
He is one of the most popular players in the world!
In previous games, his appearance fee has been reduced to 150,000 US dollars!
If he continues to fight in the UFC, he will not have the opportunity to fight against star players like Xiao Ma every time!
It is impossible for Yang Lele to provide him with a bonus based on this competition. But two hundred thousand US dollars is still a lot of money.
And Yang Lele is willing to provide a five-game contract!
For Tony Ferguson, who is currently at the end of his career, if he can get a five-game contract and the guaranteed appearance fee is considerable, Tony Ferguson will be excited!
Therefore, basically without Xiao Yong's intervention, Yang Lele negotiated a contract with Tony Ferguson and let him officially join Tenglong Jue!
The only problem is that in this case, the expenditure of Tenglong Jue will further increase.
But Xiao Yong doesn't care. As the saying goes, sometimes, you must pay for something in return.
During this time, he can also see the changes in the Tamron finalists!
As stronger opponents enter, these domestic players are bound to strengthen their skills.
Xiao Yong has already planned to invest money to enhance the overall competitiveness and influence of the event. This investment is nothing to him.
But this time, when Yang Lele announced that Tony Ferguson had signed a contract with Tenglong Jue, the Chinese mainland was filled with applause!
Dana White himself didn't care much about this. He also offered Tony Ferguson a short contract, but the other party did not accept it.
But at this time, Tony Ferguson was already going downhill.
In Dana White's eyes, it doesn't matter at all for players like this to switch jobs and go to other events.
But for a local event in China, this is the first time it has attracted a UFC championship-level figure. Although Tony Ferguson only won an interim championship belt, he was still considered a champion.
At present, among domestic fighting events and large-scale events, Tenglong Jue is basically the only one!
Most of the remaining events have been suspended.
Be it boxing or kickboxing, basically all events in China can no longer be held.
Boxers have devoted themselves to short videos and live broadcasts, relying on their previous fame to make money and support their lives.
If Xiao Yong hadn't founded this competition, it is estimated that the domestic fighting industry would have been completely ruined.
Too much dirty stuff!
At the beginning, the audience was treated as fools, but after the incident happened, it damaged the enthusiasm of all fighting fans.
In fact, it is precisely because these events have basically been suspended that the development of Tenglong Jue has been relatively smooth.
After all, with Xiao Yong's help, although there is no explicit publicity, as long as he goes to watch a few games, the popularity of the event will immediately increase.
After Tamron signed Tony Ferguson this time, no one, whether it was the audience or the media, complained about spending too much.
In the final analysis, the general audience is more willing to see the development of the local event industry.
