On March 8, 2020, in Las Vegas, China, fighting queen Zhang Weili launched the first UFC defending battle. After five rounds of fierce fighting, Zhang Weili defeated Joanna with different judgment and successfully defended the UFC gold belt, making China go down in history. This game is highly regarded in China. According to the data of PP Sports, the number of online users is as high as 20 million, with unprecedented attention.

According to public information, the income of Zhang Weili this time is 290,000 US dollars, including 6,543,800+appearance fee, 6,543,800+winning prize, 50,000 best competition prize and 40,000 Reebok sponsorship. China Li earned 74,000 US dollars, including 64,000 appearance fees and 654.38 million+Reebok sponsorship. The highest income in this competition is Adisaya, Adisaya * *.

Zhang Weili's entry fee is $290,000, which is pre-tax income. After deducting taxes, team fees and other expenses, the actual income is about 800- 1 10,000 RMB, which is far less than that of domestic third-line actors and too low compared with Zhang Weili's contribution. Many netizens are dissatisfied with this.

Although the income of defending the title is unreasonable, judging from Zhang Weili's influence, the income of the next UFC will definitely increase substantially. The first is the increase in appearance fees. As an active champion, as long as he can defend his title successfully, the appearance fee will rise, and the victory bonus and advertising sponsorship will also increase accordingly.

UFC events always support players' self-marketing. As long as the players have strong market appeal, UFC will never be stingy with the appearance fee. In the competition between Mouth Gun and Kitty Hawk, Mouth Gun got an appearance fee of $3 million, and Kitty Hawk got $2 million. But apart from the appearance fee, the share of PPV accounts for the bulk of their income. As far as the competition is concerned, the income of PPV is much higher than the appearance fee, but only a few players can get the share of PPV.

UFC has been committed to developing the China market. In order to open the China market, UFC has signed a number of China players for many years, and also set up a UFC training center in Shanghai. China, with a population of 65.438+0.4 billion, has huge market potential and unlimited business opportunities. Now the emergence of Zhang Weili has undoubtedly helped UFC stabilize the China market. Zhang Weili has a very high influence in China, and its influence is not lost to that of Zou Shiming. Therefore, the next game in Zhang Weili will be held.
