Chapter 237: Finalizing the Game

In Xiao Yong's newly purchased villa in Kyoto, Hoya and Xiao Yong meet Alvarez and Eddie Reynoso together.

When the four of them met, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward,

Especially Huo Ya, who stared at the two of them with unkind eyes.

For him, Alvarez's departure was an unbearable pain in his heart.

This is a betrayal without a doubt.

After taking their seats, everyone was silent for a moment, but Huo Ya spoke first.

"This game will be organized by our Golden Boy Promotion Company, and this time I will give Xiao Yong a $100 million appearance fee and Alvarez a base appearance fee of $45 million. Do you have any opinions? ”

Xiao Yong's appearance fee has been communicated a long time ago, so Huo Ya's last sentence is to ask Alvarez and Reynoso.

"Alvarez has to get at least 80 million US dollars, not much less than Xiao Yong!" Renoso said directly.

The sky-high asking price, repaying the money on the spot, and the appearance fee is even more related to the future value, and he is unwilling to give in.

Hearing Renoso's asking price, Alvarez also said: "I'm the number one boxer in the world today, and you only give me $45 million? But he can get 100 million? Mr. Hoya, boxing is the number one combat sport. ”

Huo Ya looked at the two of them and sneered: "But PPV is the criterion for the appearance fee." Xiao Yong At present, the PPV sales of each game have to fluctuate in two or three million, this kind of sales ability is not at all in Alvarez, you can't even catch up with half of Xiao Yong, I will give you 45 million US dollars, which is already a very generous price, if you are not willing to fight, then leave now, some people are willing to fight with Xiao Yong! ”

Hoya is tough, loves to fight, and will leave if he doesn't fight.

On the one hand, it is because of the grudge with Alvarez and Reynoso, and on the other hand, it is really as he said.

Xiao Yong is now without a shortage of opponents.

Xiao Yong is different from Mayweather's situation at the beginning, Mayweather wants to play cross-border, and can only be selected from the UFC, and the UFC is worth enough and has a lot of attention, only Xiao Yong was the star at that time.

The situation in boxing is completely different, there are too many tough fighters.

Don't talk about others, just Xiao Yong's sparring partner Crawford, if Xiao Yong says that he wants to play crossover with him, then he will definitely not refuse, and the appearance fee is definitely much lower than Alvarez.

Without Alvarez, Xiao Yong could have found someone else, but Alvarez wanted to find a second person who offered him $45 million, but he couldn't find it.

Who could he go to?

Alvarez's current appearance fee is basically locked at $30 million.

Of course, as a cross-border war, it will definitely attract the attention of countless people.

The appearance fee will definitely fluctuate.

It is precisely because of this that Hoya will give him this price.

Alvarez and Renoso's faces flushed, and Alvarez got up even more angrily.

"So what's there to talk about? Go play for yourselves! ”

The grumpy Ava wanted to leave directly.

But Reynoso still grabbed him, stood up and whispered in his ear: "You have to take a long-term view, if you can really beat him, the shame of losing to Mayweather can be washed away, and your future appearance fee will definitely be higher, if this guy goes to fight others, we won't have a chance!" ”

Although Renoso was also angry, he still looked at the money.

In his opinion, Alvarez called for so long before, Xiao Yong didn't accept it, and this time Xiao Yong accepted the boxing match, to a large extent, there were some problems with the UFC.

It's no secret!

Some of Xiao Yong's and Chimaev's behavior after the game is very revealing.

In this case, if you don't hurry up to finalize the game.

In case after a while, Dana Bai softened and Xiao Yong returned to the octagon, and at that time, there would be no chance to compete.

Renoso didn't think that Dana White would always have a conflict with Xiao Yong.

It is inevitable to be soft.

No one can say no to a superstar who sells 3 million PPV copies in a single game.

Alvarez sat down again with a gloomy face, Reynoso calmed down a little, and said: "The basic appearance fee is according to what you said, so how to calculate the ticket share and PPV share?" ”

Huo Ya smiled slightly and said: "Ticket share, Alvarez takes 10%, Xiao Yong gets 20%, PPV share, after deducting the fixed quota of the platform, the Golden Boy Company will take 50%, and the remaining 50%, Alvarez will take 15%, Xiao Yong will take 35%!" According to Xiao Yong and Huo Ya's PPV sales ability, this share is very reasonable! ”

Basically, all of Xiao Yong's income is more than double that of Alvarez.

But this time, Alvarez was not angry.

In terms of the share of the basic appearance fee, he can already predict the proportion of the subsequent share.

The question now is to say yes or not to say yes.

Alvarez and Renoso looked at each other, and Renoso said, "We need to go out and talk about it." ”

Xiao Yong is not allowed.

The two went to the courtyard, and only Xiao Yong from Huo Ya was left in the room.

Looking at the two people talking outside, Xiao Yong said in a low voice: "Do you think the two of them will agree?" ”

"Yes, everyone knows that if you want to be worth more, you have to beat your opponents who are more expensive, not ask for a sky-high price. In the boxing circle, the opportunity to fight with a player with super high economic value is far more important than the appearance fee, Alvarez wants a higher appearance fee, and there is no suitable opponent to promote him, so he has no choice! Huo Ya said very confidently.

Speaking of this, Hoya said with a little disdain: "And that guy Renoso has just become Alvarez's agent, he is very short of money, and he will not let Alvarez give up this kind of high-income competition."

That's a good point.

At the end of the day, Reynoso's encouragement of Alvarez to leave the Golden Boy was in place for the sake of the agent's position.

How much money can a coach just get?

That's all counted.

But the agent, who can take a cut of the fighter's fight, earns much more.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Alvarez and Renoso re-entered the room.

"I promised!" Alvarez gritted his teeth.

He hadn't taken that kind of score in years.

But there is no way, as Huo Ya said, if you want to fight, you have to take this price.

At the beginning, Xiao Yong fought with Mayweather, and he also took a relatively low price.

In terms of sharing, Xiao Yong got the lion's share with the gambling agreement, but Alvarez obviously didn't have this idea.

Finalizing the contract, basically all that remains is to sign the contract and make an official announcement.

This time, it was exclusively promoted by Hoya's Golden Boy Company.

The appearance fee is all the responsibility of Hoya.

Even so, he is very happy, because in this way, the benefits are all his.

As long as it is properly managed, the revenue of this game will not be too low.

Because of the topicality of this game, it is still very sufficient.

First of all, this can be said to be the top active fighter in boxing vs. the top active fighter in mixed martial arts.

Although Mayweather is strong, he is past his peak after all.

Alvarez at this time is definitely the strongest time in his life.

Secondly, Alvarez and Hoya turned against each other.

Now it can be called the rebel of the Golden Boy Company, but Xiao Yong is the boxer under the command of the Golden Boy Company.

In this way, the victory or defeat of this game has an extra layer of flavor.

Is Xiao Yong rebellious, or Alvarez picking Xiao Yong down?

So, when this game was announced, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, although the two had already called each other before, but the call for the battle was called for the battle, as long as the game date was uncertain, everything was just a war of words.

Just like Mayweather and Pacquiao back then, a game can drag on for years.

After Alvarez, Hoya, Renoso, and Xiao Yong announced the date of the match on their social media, the match immediately made headlines around the world.

In this match, the weight level determined by both sides is in the super middle weight division.

That is, Alvarez's most dominant level.

This was something that no one expected.

There aren't any rules for mixed martial arts, it's just a complete boxing match.

Many people expressed confusion.

"Why doesn't Xiao Yong have favorable conditions? According to the appearance fees of both sides, it should be Xiao Yong who has more say in it, right? ”

"Indeed, in general, cross-border competitions, don't they always favor the more valuable side?"

"Before, Xiao Yong's fight against Mayweather was the boxing rule, how to fight Alvarez or boxing rules? Fight the rules of mixed martial arts. ”

"@肖勇, why is that?"

Most of these people are mixed martial arts fans, and they want to see boxers in the Octagon even more.

Xiao Yong quickly replied: "Regarding the rules of this game, I am sure that I want to box, and the reason is very simple, because Alvarez entered the octagonal cage, he can't last a round, and I go to the boxing ring with him, he may be defeated by me, and after I defeated Mayweather, many people say that I can only fight the old guy who is not at the peak and has retired, this game, I want to tell everyone that I, Xiao Yong, even if I fight, have the ability of the world's top boxing champion!" ”

That's it, although the victory over Mayweather has allowed Xiao Yong to gain a lot of recognition from insiders.

But when it comes to it, many boxing fans don't recognize this.

They think that Xiao Yong just won against a retired veteran, and if it was Mayweather in his prime, Xiao Yong would not have any chance.

Boxing, after all, is an old combat sport with too many fans and too much glory.

Many people don't want to see the first person in boxing lose to Xiao Yong.

Xiao Yong has also seen these remarks.

This time, if Xiao Yong can beat Alvarez, it will be completely different.

Now Alvarez is the king of the super middleweight division, unifying the four major boxing organizations, winning all the gold belts in the same division, and the only king.

He is also one of the most expensive fighters in boxing today.

No one can deny the strength of Alvarez now.

Xiao Yong's statement, no one can refute it, even boxing fans, have to admit that if Alvarez enters the octagonal cage, it is absolutely impossible to be Xiao Yong's opponent.

Alvarez also did not comment on this.

He simply said on his social media: "I will win and defend the glory of boxing, and I want to tell everyone that no one can take the sport lightly." ”

He can become the most valuable person in the boxing world, and naturally it is inseparable from operation and hype.

He also knows exactly what people are more concerned about.

When he said this, he really won the support of many fans.

And mixed martial arts fans, this time, it is Qing Yishui who supports Xiao Yong.

Boxing fans have always prided themselves as the number one sport and are worth more.

But this time, Xiao Yong's worth has been absolutely crushed.

Under various factors, the popularity of the event is getting higher and higher.

In the system space, Xiao Yong and D'Amato watched Alvarez's game video together.

Alvarez is somewhat similar to Tyson in style, that is, he has excellent hook and combination attack ability, and he is good at inside fighting, and at the same time, his body and head shake very frequently. Alvarez is where he is today because he is so well-rounded, with strength, speed, technique, talent, endurance, and resistance to strikes.

After watching the video, D'Amato said: "This kid is also a genius, he has been improving, with unparalleled ability, especially at the moment, I think his combat power should be at the peak of the state, if the peak Mayweather and now he fights again, I don't think Mayweather will win." ”

D'Amato gave Alvarez a fairly high rating.

"Then who do you think I can win against him? Xiao Yong asked.

"It's hard to say, from the current point of view, in terms of technical style, the two of you are somewhat similar, to say that the victory or defeat depends on the strength of your heavy punches and the cross-confrontation effect of your ability to resist hitting, and on the other hand, it depends on the on-the-spot performance. Your advantage is that you have a better static talent, you have a longer arm span and a wider striking range, and his advantage is the game experience, he has too many opponents, and with his fierce style of play, if you are caught by him, you may not even have a chance to adapt to the rhythm! D'Amato analyzed it very carefully.

Finally, he said: "You still have too few opponents now, I suggest you find some offensive players to prepare for the sparring match, so that you can get a little better." ”

Listening to Damato's words, Xiao Yong fell into deep thought.

Obviously, if Xiao Yong still has a weight advantage against Mayweather, it is completely different against Alvarez.

Alvarez can be said to be of the small steel cannon type, although the stature is not considered tall.

But the weight is definitely not light.

The powerful muscles in his body are the source of his strength.

The guy used to say that he would always move up because he wanted to experience Tyson's power.

He thinks he has explosiveness on par with Tyson.

Although he is shorter and has a shorter arm span, it will not be easy to defeat him.

If you say that against Mayweather, it is a tug-of-war.

Then in the face of Alvarez, it is the two sides that are walking a tightrope.

The same heavy gunner, the same style of play.

It's just hard-hitting.

In the following time, Huo Ya began to contact Xiao Yong as a sparring partner, and unexpectedly, this time, there were really many people who were willing to be Xiao Yong's sparring partner!

The reason is also very simple, after Crawford was a sparring partner for Xiao Yong last time.

The spotlight has increased dramatically, especially Xiao Yong's victory over Mayweather under his sparring partner, which has given him a lot of interviews and exposure.

Later, he joined the Golden Boy Company, and Huo Ya also arranged two games for him, and when the appearance fee was increased to a certain extent, the PPV sales performance was much better, at least not to say that he was losing money and doing business.

This made his living situation a lot better.

It is precisely because of this that when Huo Ya contacted Xiao Yong as a sparring partner, these people expressed their willingness to be Xiao Yong's sparring partner.

On the one hand, it has a relatively good salary, and on the other hand, it is also a great opportunity to increase exposure!
