Four hundred and eightieth IX sailing to sea(1/2)
At the beginning of the year, Connor broke his tibia in a game. After several months of recuperation, he has finally recovered. He is now thinking about how to come back.
As a UFC professional player, Connor has the same arrogant character as all players, but he is different from other players because he is more arrogant and unruly!
His arrogance is not in private, but in front of the public and the media, and being arrogant in front of reporters and cameras is his specialty.
It is this kind of personality that has attracted him a large group of die-hard fans.
However, only those who truly know him know that the arrogance he displays is actually an act for others to see...
Unlike other fighters who make money from their muscles, Connor prefers to think about how to maximize his own advantages. To put it more bluntly, he is a person who knows how to market himself.
Others watch the game to see Li Yu fight, but what Connor values is how to make money. His keen business sense allows him to smell business opportunities immediately.
A fighting sports league with an initial investment of 1 billion, backed by China's emerging Internet capital, and has a market of more than 1 billion in China.
A boss played a ticketed game, and more than 20 million people were able to watch the live broadcast online, and the broadcast rights were sold all over the world...
This boss is better at playing than me!
The corners of Connor's mouth raised, and a professional and arrogant smile appeared on his face.
"With such great popularity, do you want to make a date with him?"
As soon as this idea came up, Connor immediately shook his head and rejected it.
His family knows his own business, and with his small body of 60 kilograms, he is no match for Chris Weisman, and naturally he is no match for Li Yu.
He just likes to talk, not a tough talker!
Since he can't beat him, the best way is to join Li Yu's club like Chris Weisman.
He believes that with his own hype skills and Li Yu's publicity channels, he will definitely be able to soar into the sky!
With the example of champion Chris Weisman in front of them, mixed martial arts fighters like Connor who have ideals and love for money have begun to contact Li Yu's MY mixed martial arts club.
In this regard, Li Yu is naturally happy to see the success. The club is starting from scratch. As long as he has the strength, he will accept everything...
Li Yu is busy recruiting people, and other club owners are not to be outdone. They wave their money and start poaching people from all over the world. Among them, Jack Ma and Wanda Laowang are the most wealthy.
They don't like small fish and shrimps at all. If you want to dig them up, just do the same as Li Yu and dig them one by one according to the list of UFC champions at eight levels!
UFC President Dana White's worries soon came true.
Faced with a group of inhumane Chinese local tycoons, the UFC, which is known as Kuoku Soso, simply cannot retain the hearts of the champions.
Soon, news about the transfer and job-hopping of champions one after another continued to emerge, and the reputation of MY World Fighting Series quickly spread throughout the fighting circles around the world.
Although there are not many people in China who like free fighting, they can't stand the fancy promotions of Internet tycoons!
"Shocked! Jack Ma knocked out the UFC ropeweight champion with one hand!"
"XXX Wanda Plaza opens, UFC heavyweight champion performs 1V4 live."
"UFC lightweight champion: If you are a brother, come and chop me down!"
"..."
After being promoted by the No. 18 club bosses, several UFC champions who were poached became household names in the country without even fighting a single match.
With the entry of capital, the market pie of domestic free fighting has been rapidly expanded, and as the initiator of the MY World Mixed Martial Arts Competition, Moyu Group's various potential benefits have gradually surfaced.
First of all, MY Weibo not only opened a mixed martial arts area, but also has the only official website of the MY World Mixed Martial Arts Competition, attracting a large number of domestic mixed martial arts fans to join.
In addition, all the mixed martial arts masters who were poached have opened MY Weibo and MY live broadcast accounts, and their daily training will be shown to netizens in the form of live broadcast.
The daily lives of the world's top mixed martial arts masters have attracted the curiosity of countless netizens. Their live broadcast rooms often have 100,000+ online viewers.
However, the same fighting masters receive different levels of attention due to various factors on and off the field.
For most of the muscular fighters who are not good at talking, netizens can only watch the live broadcast to see them sweating and flexing their muscles in various ways, tickling men and women, and watching them all. But if you watch too much, you will get tired of it.
At this time, Connor, who likes to show off his sex life, quickly stood out.
Although Connor doesn't have a championship title yet, this kid has exaggerated tattoos all over his body, an arrogant expression like "I am second to the king and I am first", and he has been yelling at the live broadcast audience all day long to kill so and so, which has accumulated rapidly.
His popularity has overtaken other live broadcast champions.
As a player signed under Li Yu Club, he also has the home field advantage. After discovering his potential, Moyu Group naturally tilted the traffic in various ways.
Soon, "Bad Boy Conor" not only gained countless fans among domestic mixed martial arts fans, but also showed signs of breaking the circle.
At this time, Connor, who was extremely arrogant in the eyes of fighting fans, was sitting opposite Li Yu with a flattering look on his face.
"Mr. Li, why are you looking for me?"
In front of Li Yu, Connor really couldn't be arrogant.
When he first came to China, Connor had other thoughts about Li Yu's defeat of Chris Weisman. Who made Li Yu so rich?
He didn't dare to play in public games, but challenging Li Yu in private was simply too normal for a person with Connor's personality.
Then, there is no more...
From then on, when Connor saw Li Yu, his calves trembled.
Although he was almost beaten to death when he first arrived in China, Connor has been living a cool life recently, with a meager MY fan base of over 3 million!
The live broadcast room has a daily popularity of 200,000+!
This level of exposure was something that Connor had never dared to imagine before!
Without playing a single game, Connor's current advertising endorsement quotation has exceeded 4 million per year. His terrifying ability to attract money almost blinded Connor!
If Li Yu hadn't stopped him from accepting commercials now, Connor wouldn't have the time to train now. He must be making money everywhere!
Li Yu naturally has his own plans if he doesn't accept advertisements for Connor.
"The official competition of the MY World Mixed Martial Arts Championship will take another two months. During this period, you should not be idle. I am going to organize a small-scale competition, and you will appear in the finale."
hiss!
Connor knows very well what it means to play in the finale of a game.
This is a symbol of coffee status!
It was also Li Yu who was praising him!
With Li Yu's generosity and Moyu Group's publicity resources, this competition is bound to attract everyone's attention!
"You have boasted enough during this period, but you still lack a chance to prove yourself. I will give you this opportunity."
"This time I plan to invite UFC Featherweight World No. 2 Hawkins Payton as your opponent. As long as you can win this game, I guarantee that your endorsement value will double!"
Damn it!
What is double?
Now some merchants have quoted 4 million. If doubled, wouldn’t it be 8 million!!??
Connor's eyes immediately turned red!
Damn it, this isn't a game, it's clearly a game for money!
Won the young yacht model, lost...
grass!
How could I lose!
Connor clenched his fists, adrenaline surged instantly.
As a ruthless person who can break his own leg bones in a game, Connor feels like he has killed a cow right now!
"Don't worry, Mr. Li! I promise to KO him in 15 seconds!"
Connor raised his neck in an exaggerated manner, and Li Yu wanted to punch him when he saw that arrogant look.
"Not bad, not bad, I just like your arrogant expression..."
Li Yu chuckled, and Connor's anus tightened, and he woke up instantly.
It’s okay to be crazy outside, but in front of Mr. Li, if you look at your little arms and legs, you’d better forget it...
The match planned by Li Yu is not an official match of the MY World Mixed Martial Arts Championship. It is just a warm-up. Li Yu wants to promote his potential fighters through the match.
Li Yu's idea immediately received responses from 17 other club owners.
During this period, not only Li Yu is poaching people, but other bosses are also poaching people, and they already have some well-known and unknown players under their control.
Li Yu wanted to support others, so other clubs also sent a group of newcomers to come and train, so a small-scale warm-up match started in advance.
On August 18, the new venue was not built yet, so it was still in the previous temporary venue.
Although this game did not have the big gimmick of Li Yu, a billionaire, punching the island country, Bang Zi and UFC champion, but with Conor, the "bad boy" and the "king of words", the game still attracted a lot of attention.
When Connor made his final appearance, the number of people online during the live broadcast reached 10 million, which was quite a surprise.
But the most surprising thing is that Connor's ability to "talk" is not inferior to his own.
In the second round of the game, he KOed Hawkins Payton, who is known as the world's second-ranked featherweight!
After KOing the opponent, Connor lived up to expectations and once again spoke out in public.
"Next time, I'm going to KO Jose Aldo! I'm going to beat someone who doesn't even recognize him!"
To be continued...
