"Appearance fee of $100 million?"
The monster thought Meng fan might be crazy.
The highest single appearance fee in the history of UFC is $3.5 million from "mouth gun" Connor McGregor. Even if "mouth gun" has crossed the boxing ring and won a higher appearance fee with boxing champion Mayweather, it is only $30million.
You need to know whether it is a cross-border boxing ring or a fight with Mayweather. It is the most expensive competitive ring in the world, and it is also the result of the commercial win-win of the two events.
None of those who can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in appearance fees is not the product of commercial promotion, nor does it happen in the boxing ring with larger operating space.
Like UFC, although it is known as the top ten all-round arena and the most recognized arena that can produce the world's strongest fighting king, it can't be compared with boxing in terms of commercial value.
Take UFC's first monster for example. His maximum appearance fee per game is $2million.
Meng fan's mouth is 100 million dollars, 50 times his!
Not crazy, what!
The monster was said by Meng fan and didn't know how to reply.
Meng fan seemed to see the monster's right to speak, patted him on the shoulder and said, "just go back and take a message. Don't think about it. Anyway, you can't be the master."
"Oh."
The monster nodded and always felt strange when he saw Meng fan leave.
I'm here to fight. How can I feel that it doesn't seem to have much to do with him.
"What did he say?"
A short high-rise UFC who followed the monster saw the monster coming out of it and asked curiously, "what did you just say?"
As the monster walked out, he repeated what Meng fan had just said.
"Is he crazy?"
After hearing this, the short tall man looked the same as the monster.
The monster didn't say anything like me, but threw Meng fan's words out: "don't think about it, anyway, you can't be the master, just bring a message to the top."
After saying this, I felt refreshed.
……
When Joey Howard, the monster, appeared in the judo competition to meet Meng fan, it immediately pushed the dispute of "the world's top player" to the peak of public opinion. As for what the monster and Meng Fan said when they met, there were different opinions. They all said they heard it from the side.
This incident was originally very eye-catching. Now, this encounter is more like Mars hitting the earth, and has been given some different and unspeakable meanings. It is called "gods and monsters compete for supremacy" by netizens.
Not only Huamei, the whole world is paying attention to this matter.
Except for a few, 99.99% of the people hope to really make a result.
……
"Promise him!"
Hearing Meng fan's request, the UFC speaker was completely different from the response of monsters and short executives. After a little thought, he immediately agreed.
Of course, the appearance fee of 100million is sky high for them, which has never appeared in the history of UFC. Many people even think that UFC will not appear in the future, but they still agreed, and they agreed very happily.
The reason is as simple and direct as ever. From the beginning to now, the same purpose is to rub Meng fan's popularity and pull Meng fan to create greater popularity, so as to improve the popularity and audience rating of UFC events.
The appearance fee of $100million is expensive, but it is within the range of acceptance!
"Wait!"
The speaker stopped and prepared to tell Meng fan who agreed to his request, saying, "you don't need to inform him in private, just hold a press conference. This money is for him to earn, but it can't make him so comfortable, so you must disgust him!"
From the beginning, they didn't go with a win-win mentality like the previous cross-border arena competition. Even at the beginning, they didn't invite Meng fan to play UFC with an equal attitude. Now they may have an equal attitude, but the means they used was not to talk well, but repeatedly used to provoke Meng fan as a means to force him to play, rather than sit down and talk about the benefits and everything.
This time it was even more true. At the press conference, Meng fan's request was thrown out, showing Meng fan's "face" of asking for money in front of the reporter, and then he said something similar to fighting for breath without fighting for steamed bread. He agreed only when he was forced to be helpless, and even colluded with the reporter to convey why the public opinion had created such a big person behind him in the way of asking and answering innuendo, Meng fan, of course.
However, the media here didn't plan to write about Meng fan well, which can better show the style of spring and autumn. Soon, Meng fan's face jumped on the paper when he saw money and provoked trouble.
After that, it must be a massive build-up, which pushed the battle of "gods and monsters" to another peak of public opinion. The purchase volume of tickets, copyright sales, rebroadcast, live broadcast, advertising and so on swarmed into UFC, which surprised the senior management of UFC. They thought that 100million appearance fee was a "long-term investment", but they didn't expect to get their money back when they saw it!
I have to sigh that Meng fan is so popular and has a large number of questions!
However, while the UFC side was almost carnival, Meng fan had a problem. He didn't regret not to fight, but to fight in advance.
The news released by UFC is scheduled to be a week later. The preparation time can be said to be very short, but it is enough for them to stir up public opinion to the highest point and deal with other profitable projects. What Meng fan is proposing now is that on the third day of their press conference, they are half prepared but not ready.
For a while, the UFC side was fried. The speaker directly found Meng fan's Hotel, but then went back in despair.
They unilaterally announced the game, discredited Meng fan with public opinion, and forced Meng fan to play the game at the same time. They thought it was a sure bet, but they didn't expect Meng fan to be shameless to this extent and modify the time. The most important thing is that they haven't paid Meng fan the appearance fee so far, and there was no agreement on the time and place of the game.
It's not impossible to advance, but the key is that they have received so many advertisements, live broadcasts, rebroadcasts and other cooperation. It really doesn't matter if they are ticketing. Although it's not enough to compensate double the agreement cost for modifying the time, the loss is certain. This loss pushed away their expectation that they could recover the cost.
Finally, on the day of the game, I finally saw Meng fan appear on the court. UFC was completely relieved. Now they believe that Meng fan is definitely the kind of person who doesn't come if he can't come.
"Hua Xiameng, why did you agree to this competition? Is it really for money?"
When Meng fan entered the venue, the arranged reporters gathered around and asked aggressive questions like this.
Meng fan smiled and nodded, "it's rare to come here. It's good to earn some extra money to go back."
"What do you want to say about the public opinion that you pushed the game to earn attention?"
"I like the way you can't stand me but swear."
……
UFC found some out of control and hurriedly "protected" Meng fan to go inside. It always felt that these reporters had been bribed.
Finally, it arrived at the challenge arena and attracted the attention of the public.
The referee read out the rules and was about to signal the start of the game, but Meng fan pulled out a microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'll waste you a few minutes. It's rare for so many people today. I'll do some advertising."
