Chapter 372 - 340: The Masters of Bo Yuan Martial Arts Hall
"Master."
After digesting what Wu Li had said, Liu Yuanbo spoke, "The first point is fine, but the second point, those famous Mixed Martial Arts masters from abroad, they are either with Asia ONE or with UFC. These players and their organizations have contracts, we can’t just invite them over."
"Poach them, we’ll pay the breach of contract fee," Wu Li said without hesitation.
"But..." Liu Yuanbo frowned, "Even if they’re willing to leave their current organizations for ours, wouldn’t we be spending too much on this? I’m worried it might not be worth it. For the first tournament, it might be good enough with just domestic players."
Liu Yuanbo had definitely progressed after more than a year of training, Previously, he barely opposed the ideas Wu Li proposed, but now, he would share his opinions. At this moment, he was not just Wu Li’s disciple, but also his business partner.
Wu Li didn’t seem annoyed but smiled, "That’s exactly why I want to do the best I can for this first tournament."
"A lot of people in Hua Country have become interested in Kung Fu and combat sports because of me. The audience for our bouts has increased multiple times. But who knows how long this enthusiasm will last? I want to capitalize on their high spirit now and let the domestic audience witness the charm of these bouts, letting them truly love the sport, not just because they came to see me."
"Simply put, I want to make use of my popularity while I can, to enhance the influence of these combat sports. If we don’t do well in this first outing, by the time we try to improve in the second tournament, who knows how much popularity I’ll have left?"
Liu Yuanbo nodded in agreement, "Makes sense, Master. Any other reasons?"
Wu Li continued, "Yes, the second point: if our first tournament can’t match up to UFC, and the viewers find watching UFC better than our bouts, wouldn’t we just be inadvertently working for UFC for free? If that’s the case, Dana White would probably send me a huge red envelope."
"Ha ha ha!"
