Chinese side celebrate promotion to second tier by posing with £3million wads of cash EACH

LITTLE-KNOWN Chinese side Meixian Techand handed their players an incredible £3million EACH for promotion to the second tier – and they celebrated with Floyd Mayweather-style selfies in front of the mountains of cash.

The unheralded side secured their place in China League One after a 1-0 win over Shenzhen Ledman yesterday.

Ye Weichao scored the only goal of the game in a 3-1 aggregate win.

But it looks joy at moving up a level was soon replaced with joy for riches considering how much they made.

Sports Illustrated report that it is believed each player received just under £3million.

Not bad considering they still are not in the top flight alongside big name players such as Ezequiel Lavezzi and Demba Ba.

One player was shown resting on a mountain of cash as another behind him held a pile in his hands.

Another star of the club was shown grinning with an obscene amount of money in front of his face.

It appears clear the riches on offer in the Chinese Super League have trickled down.

And Meixian Techand’s owners made good on their promise to front up the dosh for their players’ success.
