Chapter 529
"A $[-] million appearance fee?"

The monster thought that Meng Fan might be crazy.

The highest single-game appearance fee in UFC history is the $350 million of the "mouth gun" Connor McGregor. That's $3000 million.

You have to know whether it is a crossover to the boxing ring or a fight with Mayweather, which is the most expensive arena in the world, and it is also the result of a win-win business of the two events.

The appearance fees that can earn hundreds of millions of dollars are all products driven by business, and all of them happened in the boxing ring with more room for manipulation.

Like UFC, although it is known as the top ten all-round fighting arena, it is also the most recognized arena that can produce the world's strongest fighting king, but in terms of commercial value, it cannot be compared with boxing.

Take today's UFC No. 1 monster as an example, his appearance fee is the highest in a single game at 200 million dollars.

The Meng Fan in front of him was worth 50 million US dollars when he opened his mouth, [-] times his!
Not crazy what!
The monster didn't know how to respond to Meng Fan's words.

Meng Fan seemed to see the monster's right to speak, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Just go back and talk to him, don't think about it, you can't make the decision anyway."

"Oh."

The monster nodded, seeing Meng Fan leaving, he always felt something strange.

I'm here for an appointment, so why do I feel like this has nothing to do with him?

"How did he say?"

A short UFC executive who followed the monster saw the monster coming out and asked curiously, "What did you just say?"

As the monster walked out, it repeated what Meng Fan had just said.

"Is he crazy?"

After hearing this, the short high-ranking man had the same expression as the monster.

But the monster didn't say what I said the same, but threw Meng Fan's words out: "Don't think about it, you can't be the master anyway, just bring the words to the higher-ups."

After saying this, I immediately feel refreshed.

……

As soon as the monster Joey Howard appeared in the judo competition and met Meng Fan, the controversy of "the world's best" was pushed to the peak of public opinion. As for what the monster and Meng Fan said when they met, it was more There are different opinions, and they all say that they heard it on the sidelines.

This incident was originally very eye-catching, but now that this meeting occurs, it is even more like sparks hitting the earth, and it is endowed with some different and unspeakable meanings, which is called "the battle between gods and monsters" by netizens.

Not only Huami, but the whole world is paying attention to this matter.

Except for a very small number of people, 99.99% of people hope that there will be a result.

……

"Promise him!"

Hearing Meng Fan's request, the UFC talker reacted completely differently from the monster and the short executives, and after a little thought, he immediately agreed.

The appearance fee of 1 million is of course a sky-high price for them, and it has never appeared in the history of UFC. Many people even think that it is impossible for UFC to appear in the future, but they still agreed, and they agreed quite happily.

The reason is as simple and straightforward as ever, and the purpose is the same from the beginning to now, that is to take advantage of Meng Fan's popularity and pull Meng Fan to create more popularity, so as to increase the popularity and ratings of UFC events.

The appearance fee of 1 million U.S. dollars is expensive, but within the acceptable range!

"and many more!"

The speaker stopped the person who was about to tell Meng Fan to agree to his request, and said, "It's better not to inform him privately, just hold a press conference. This money is for him, but he can't make it so comfortably. Make him sick!"

From the very beginning, they didn't have a win-win mentality like the previous cross-border group arena. Even at the beginning, they didn't invite Meng Fan to fight UFC with an equal attitude. Now they may have an equal mentality, but with The method is not to have a good talk, but to repeatedly use the method of angering Meng Fan to force him to fight, instead of sitting down and having a good talk, explaining the benefits and so on.

This time it was even more so. When the press conference was held, Meng Fan’s request was thrown out, and Meng Fan’s “face” of asking for money was shown in front of the reporter, and then he said something similar to not fighting for steamed buns. He acted as if he was forced to do so, and even colluded with the reporters to convey the behind-the-scenes of why the public opinion was so big before, in the form of question and answer, of course it was Meng Fan.

And the media here hadn't planned to write about Meng Fan well, so that it would show his spring and autumn style of writing. After a while, Meng Fan's face when he saw Qian's eyes opening up to provoke troubles came to life on the paper.

After that, it must have been a big push to push this "Gods and Monsters" battle to another peak of public opinion. Ticketing, copyright sales, rebroadcasting, live broadcasting, advertising and other purchases swarmed into the UFC. , These surprised the UFC executives a little. They thought that the 1 million appearance fee was considered a "long-term investment".
I have to feel that Meng Fan is so popular and has a lot of topics!
However, just as the UFC was almost having a carnival, something went wrong on Meng Fan's side. It wasn't that he regretted not fighting, but that he wanted to fight ahead of time.

The news from the UFC is scheduled to be released in a week. 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 they can also deal with other profitable projects. Meng Fan now proposes The only thing that happened was on the third day after they held a press conference, when they were halfway ready but not ready.

For a while, the UFC was in trouble, and the speaker directly found the hotel where Meng Fan and the others were staying, and then went back in despair.

They unilaterally announced the match, and used public opinion to smear Meng Fan. At the same time, they forced Meng Fan to play this match. They thought it was a sure thing, but they didn't expect Meng Fan to be so shameless as to change the time. The most important thing is that they Up to now, there is no appearance fee for Meng Fan, and there has never been an agreement to stipulate the time and place of the game.

Ordinarily, it is not impossible to advance, but the key is that they have received so many advertisements, live broadcasts, broadcasts, etc. cooperation, it really does not matter about the ticketing. Although this modification of the time will not compensate the double agreement fee, it is certain to lose money.This compensation pushed back their expectation that they could recover the cost.

The day of the match finally came, and finally saw Meng Fan appearing in the arena. The UFC was completely relieved. Now they believed that Meng Fan was definitely the kind of person who would never come if he couldn't say it.

"Huaxia Meng, may I ask why you agreed to this competition? Is it really for money?"

When Meng Fan entered the arena, the arranged reporters surrounded him, asking aggressive questions like this.

Meng Fan smiled and nodded: "It's a rare trip, it's good to earn some extra money to go back."

"What do you want to say about the public opinion that you single-handedly promoted this game to earn attention?"

"I just like the way you can't get used to me but can't get rid of me and can only swear."

……

When the UFC found that something was out of control, they hurriedly "protected" Meng Fan and walked inside, feeling as if these reporters had been bribed.

Finally arrived at the ring, where all eyes were on.

After the referee read out the rules and was about to signal the start of the game, Meng Fan took out a microphone.

"Everyone, let me take a few minutes of your time. It's rare that there are so many people today. Let me do some advertising."
