When a hero heard this, he grinned and said, "Oh! All five of them have a factory fee of more than $1 million! Then why can't I become the sixth person, is it because I am not qualified enough? ”

Rich Franklin was stunned, he had presided over many negotiations, but he had never met such a "red fruit" as Xiang Yingying, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

But as the vice president of the UFC, Rich Franklin quickly adjusted, and said with a smile: "Your potential is not worse than theirs at all, but it still needs time to settle, after all, you have only been in the UFC for a year." ”

Xiang Yingying smiled when he heard this, and said with disdain: "When did the UFC also engage in this set of seniority." It's only been a year since I came to the UFC that I won the middleweight title. Doesn't that show more that I have a lot of potential? As far as I know, Ronda Rossi reached $3 million a long time ago, and Conor McGregor's appearance fee reached a staggering $4 million.

Of course, I'm not saying I want to compete with them now, but I don't think my appearance fee should be lower than that arrogant, marijuana-smoking Nick Diaz! ”

Hearing Xiang Yingying take out Nick Diaz for comparison, Dana Bai's face changed significantly. Nick Diaz, a fighter who could once take on Conor McGregor, is a figure that Dana White is very reluctant to mention.

The former Strikeforce welterweight champion and UFC favorite challenger Nick Diaz received special attention from Dana White when he joined the UFC. Coupled with his arrogant personality and alternative fighting style, he is deeply loved by the audience, but because of his messy private life and frequent marijuana smokers, he is also called "Brother Marijuana" by Chinese fans.

However, although this guy is in trouble, he has also created a beautiful record (26-9, 13K, 8S) throughout his career.

He moved to the UFC after defending the Strikeforce welterweight belt for the third time in April 2011. In October of the same year, he defeated former UFC lightweight champion BJ Payne on points.

In 2012, he lost points against Carlos Condit for the interim UFC welterweight title, and in 2013 he challenged former UFC welterweight champion Georges Saint-Pierre. Although he lost the fight, he was still loved by fans for his off-court swagger and quirky fighting style, and his appearance fee went on the rise, but that's when he suddenly chose to retire.

However, in 2014 he quickly returned, and in January 2015 he added a rematch against former UFC middleweight champion Anderson "The Spider" Silva, but still lost by points.

However, in this game, Nick Diaz continued his arrogant fighting style, constantly provoking Anderson Silva in the game, not only dancing, but also taking the initiative to turn his back to Anderson Silva, and even taking the initiative to lie on the ground to provoke.

Although the game was unfortunately lost by points, it won the crowd again, and after the game, Schill also invalidated the result of the game due to the failure of the Wa Drug Inspectorate.

Just when Dana Bai was full of joy and ready to vigorously package this guy, he got into trouble again. He was also found to have marijuana in his body after a match, and was banned by the athletic committee for five years and fined $160,000.

In the end, more than 100,000 fans collectively petitioned Obama to get Diaz to appeal and change the ban to one year. After Diaz's suspension expired, he returned to the UFC again, but he was still entangled with the athletic committee. Just last year, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency imposed another sanction on him.

The reason is that Diaz is suspected of accumulating three spot checks over a period of 12 months. (Like all UFC athletes, Diaz has also joined USADA's UFC testing and must require real-time reporting of his location in case of unannounced spot checks.) ）

If Diaz is banned again, it is estimated that his career will also come to an end, and fans will never see Nick Diaz punching his opponent in the face and giving him a middle finger while fighting.

Therefore, when Xiang Hero compared Diaz, Dana Bai really couldn't say anything. Xiang Yingying is a good baby compared to Diaz, although Xiang Yingying is also arrogant, short-tempered, likes to fight with words, and prefers to fight with opponents before the game.

But Xiang Yingxing has never been involved in drugs, and there is no messy nightlife, which is also the most and only advantage of Chinese athletes that he appreciates, so Dana Bai has never worried that Xiang Yingying will be banned.

Seeing that Bai Dana was silent, Xiang Yingying smiled and said, "Otherwise, we will talk tomorrow, you go back and discuss it first." ”

Seeing this, Dana Bai also nodded, his principle is that anything that can be easily obtained, no one will cherish it, just like he did to Nick Diaz back then.

But there's a more important reason, and that's that the $1 million appearance fee is an honor in the UFC, a status symbol. He believes that if Xiang Yingying is given a $1 million appearance fee today, a whole bunch of star fighters will come to him tomorrow to protest.

……

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the time has come to April 21, and tomorrow Bai Da and they will leave Beijing and rush to Venice, Italy to participate in the UFC 236 competition, but the negotiations with Xiang Yingying are still inconclusive. The crux of the problem is this $1 million.

For this reason, Dana Bai has raised Xiang Yingxing's appearance fee to 800,000 US dollars, but Xiang Yingxing's side has never nodded and bites 1 million US dollars and does not let go, which makes Dana Bai have a headache.

Even Dave Schole, vice president of public relations of the UFC, said to his face that he would give up Xiang Hero, but Xiang Hero, who eats soft and not hard, directly said that he would not play with the UFC, and even if they agreed to a $1 million appearance fee, he would not sign it. After Xiang Yingying finished speaking, he flashed people directly, and threw down a group of people who stared at each other with big eyes.

This made UFC Vice President of Public Relations Dave Scholler very embarrassed, but fortunately, Tang Mu and Dana Bai personally came forward to play the round, and Xiang Yingying returned to the negotiation table, but the negotiations were still deadlocked.

Just when the two sides were anxious, Tang Mu suddenly proposed a solution, that is, they could reduce the appearance fee to $800,000, but the winning prize of the game must reach $500,000.

Dana White's first reaction when he heard this plan was that the prize for winning was too high, and there was no precedent for this. However, he figured out after a while that although the $500,000 was a lot, it was a winning bonus, which meant that if the hero lost the game, he wouldn't get the $500,000.

However, as a businessman's instinct, Dana White still said that he likes to turn the winning prize of $500,000 into $300,000, adding up to $1.1 million, and everyone can get by.

But Xiang Yingxing's side never relented this time, and directly said that it would either be a $1 million appearance fee and a $100,000 winning bonus, or an $800,000 appearance fee and a $500,000 winning bonus, otherwise they would break up.

In the face of the resoluteness of Xiang Yingying's side, Dana Bai finally chose to give in......
