Capítulo 1599: Chapter 1598: Incomparable
Leaving aside the one-off nature of boxing matches, based on the performance of the calendar year, steadily maintaining relatively stable inco across different years, according to “Forbes” statistics, the top three players with the highest earnings in history are—
Li Wei, ssi, C-Ronaldo.
In 2019, Li Wei’s inco in a calendar year reached as high as 130 million US Dollars, sweeping through with a series of historical records.
Not only did he beco the first football player in history to break the 100 million US Dollar inco mark, but he also broke the non-boxer’s professional athlete’s calendar year inco record, setting a new high, sparking widespread discussion worldwide, and strongly erging, with all sports enthusiasts joining the group chat room.
At that ti, Li Wei faced a strong backlash—
From football fanatics.
Globally, how could football’s community base compare to soccer? To be exact, no sport can compete with soccer. The number of soccer fans can easily outnumber any sports enthusiasts, undoubtedly undefeated.
When soccer fans saw Li Wei’s annual inco surpassing ssi and C-Ronaldo, those enthusiasts instantly lost their minds—
From “How is it possible” to “How can it be,” emotions ran high, from questioning Forbes’ statistical errors to fully besieging Li Wei as a fraud. The overwhelming attacks completely destroyed the football fan front, with the attacks reaching the heights of a sport and even the collapse of competitive sports.
Overwhelming!
It wasn’t until C-Ronaldo, during an interview, expressed his admiration for Li Wei and praised the glories Li Wei had achieved in just a few years that a rift appeared in the soccer camp. ssi fans and C-Ronaldo fans started opposing each other, and the target shifted away from Li Wei.
At the ti, those trolls and haters declared that Li Wei was just a teor, fleeting, unable to last, and ti would reveal his true form; moreover, how could the market value of football compare to soccer, how could sponsors continually invest money in Li Wei?
A year passed in a flash, Forbes didn’t even publish the latest global professional athlete inco rankings but instead wrote a feature for Li Wei:
According to statistics, after achieving the Super Bowl three-consecutive championship milestone, Li Wei’s market value soared again, unquestionably becoming the number one in global competitive sports, with endorsents flooding in like a tide; more importantly, the success with Nike and Louis Vuitton left the industry envious.
Nike didn’t release official data, but according to insiders, just within the 2019 fiscal year, they gave Li Wei bonuses up to 50 million US Dollars. This figure surpassed LeBron Jas’ 2015 lifeti contract signing with Nike, becoming the most profitable current player under Nike, second only to the legendary Michael Jordan.
The sa goes for Louis Vuitton; even after ten months, the frenzy of that joint sale on New York Fifth Avenue remains vivid.
All along, the brand image that Donald Yee has been building for Li Wei has finally taken shape, with brand sponsorships coming in continuously, and Donald holds complete decision power, considering not only endorsent fees but also the creation of Li Wei’s brand image, further paving the future.
High-end brands, top-tier brands, luxury brands, all lined up eagerly outside Donald’s office, hoping to snatch a share of the Li Wei frenzy, elevating competitive sports’ breakout index to unprecedented heights since David Beckham.
All these factors combined, leading to the release of the Forbes feature—
Not needing to wait for the 2021 season’s formalization of Li Wei and the Kansas City Chiefs’ new contract, Li Wei’s calendar year inco has already seen a breakthrough.
210 million US Dollars.
History witnessed again, as Li Wei beca the first player with a calendar year inco breaking 200 million US Dollars in global competitive sports outside of boxing.
Following the miracle of 2019, Li Wei went further in 2020, establishing a monunt, an unparalleled, incomparable benchmark.
The truly astonishing part doesn’t end here.
Indeed, Mayweather is exceptional, earning 285 million US Dollars from one match, an astounding figure, unlikely to be surpassed for a very long ti, not even by Mayweather himself—
After all, after the “money fight” ended, he announced his official retirent, a true retirent.
But Mayweather’s is a one-off transaction, not sustainable, not continuous, making a huge profit then retreating; whereas Li Wei is not.
The 2020 season is far from over; the endorsent contracts Li Wei signed extend beyond one year, continuing into the next season; moreover, entering a new contract era in the next season, Li Wei’s inco is 100% certain to rise. If Li Wei continues to be strong in the new season or further makes history, it’s foreseeable:
The 210 million US Dollar inco is still not the ceiling.
“Li Wei,” has now truly beco a brand, representing dreams, representing talent, representing willpower, representing tenacity and blood, continuing to fight to the end, representing nobility and trust, embodying qualities every brand dreams of, personal value imasurable.
Not only sustainable but also with infinite possibilities, what is seen so far is still not the limit, and this is the truly jaw-dropping, terrifying aspect of Li Wei, enough to silence soccer fans.
After the Forbes feature ca out, the backlash still arrived as expected, with fanatical soccer fans refusing to believe the reality, claiming it’s a conspiracy, a ticulously designed conspiracy and a lie; but this ti, the uproar and frenzy noticeably weakened, leaving individuals in shock.
After all, that’s 200 million US Dollars, a distant height that even combined, ssi and C-Ronaldo slightly fall short of.
When the lead reaches a certain degree, confrontation ceases to exist, and Li Wei is becoming soone they must look up to.
Admiration, everywhere—
Beyond admiration is still admiration, those insignificant complaints and attacks are just dark, twisted jealousy, further highlighting their pettiness and inferiority, while the sweeping global praise and exclamation lightly pass by, with those negative voices vanished like dust into dark corners.
At this mont, calling Li Wei the “NFL’s number one” is actually an honor for the League, with football becoming one of Li Wei’s brand tags, breaking barriers with an overwhelming attitude, entering more people’s daily lives, as Goodell had long hoped finally happening.
In this mighty wave, the League’s top 100 stars list was unveiled again, summarizing the 2019 season and warming up for the 2020 season.
