Chapter 294: Boxing promoter

"In fact, when I received a phone call from Zhuang, I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night. The cooperation between us will definitely become the epoch-making cooperation of professional boxing. We will create a new history. [】" After the cliché, Arum went straight to the subject and said.
"I am also honored to be able to work with you and your team, but I think Zhuang should have told you what I need, right?" Tang Hao didn't turn around.
"Yes, speed, I know, you want to be the champion in the shortest time." Arum nodded.
"But as a partner, I don't recommend that." Arum suddenly replied.
"You don't believe in my strength? Why did you choose to cooperate with me?" Tang Hao said a little unhappy.
"No, I believe in your strength, but there is still a big difference between professional boxing and amateur boxing. You need a process of adaptation. Is there something you say in China that is not fast? Can I arrange some new stars first, After you get used to it, I will try to arrange a higher-level boxer for you."
"You can rest assured that with your ability, you can become a welterweight champion without using the market." Arum added.
"It seems that Zhuang did not make it clear." Tang Hao frowned and said, "I don't need to adapt."
Arum froze for a moment. He obviously did not expect Tang Hao to have such an attitude, but after all, he was an old-time promoter who had seen the storms and waves. He only hesitated for a while and then said, "If you insist, I will If you arrange that you can beat your opponent, I can make you a professional boxing champion in the fastest 2 games."
Hearing what Arum said, Tang Hao smiled, and this was the answer he wanted.
"But first, you have to gain weight." Arum said afterwards.
Tang Hao nodded. Before and after the Olympics, his height skyrocketed, but because he had to participate in the 60 kg class, he had been controlling his weight. Now he has to enter the professional boxing world. Weight gain is an inevitable thing.
"You need to gain weight to the welterweight. Although your height is a bit high, if you gain too much weight at one time, the physical burden will be very heavy." Arum followed.
"This is no problem." Tang Hao nodded and said.
Arum took a sip of cigar, and after smashing it, he stood up and reached out and said, "Then wait for my good news."
Tang Hao also reached out and shook hands with Arum.
The day after the meeting with Arum, after communicating with Qin Hailong and the leaders of the national team and obtaining their consent, Tang Hao held a press conference for boxing retirement in Shanghai.
Retirement was a sad thing for a boxer, but this time it was the opposite, because at the retirement conference, Tang Hao announced that he would enter the professional boxing world next, and it was a welterweight!
The division of professional boxing and amateur boxing is not the same, not according to the kilogram level, but divided into 7 major levels including heavyweight, heavyweight, middleweight and lightweight, and then divided into 15 sub-items according to the difference in weight In the middleweight category, it is infinitely close to the middleweight competition. Its weight requirement is 67 kg.
Such news comes out, for Chinese boxing fans, it is undoubtedly an earthquake level.
Boxing has a huge influence around the world, which has also allowed China to accumulate a large number of boxing fans, but there are too few people who can play professional boxing in China, and they can count it with their fingers, and most of them are concentrated in feathers. In the lower level of the level or below, and at most the intercontinental boxing champion, no one has yet claimed the boxing champion.
And now, Tang Hao, known as the all-round athlete, is going to enter this field, and he is still a welterweight. What else can make boxing fans more excited than this!
Tang Hao’s announcement to enter professional boxing is definitely exciting news, and at the same time, Arum’s work is progressing quite smoothly.
The world boxing world is generally recognized as the four major professional leagues, namely WBA (World Boxing Association), WBC (World Boxing Council), IBF (International Boxing Federation) and WBO (World Boxing Organization).
These four major leagues, each level has a corresponding world champion, which is the well-known gold boxer of the champion, and under the gold belt, there is also the silver belt, the intercontinental gold belt. By.
For ordinary boxers, to become a world-class boxing champion, the ultimate goal of the first step is the intercontinental boxing champion, and if you want to obtain the right to challenge the intercontinental boxing champion, you must get certain points.
Of course, this is not suitable for all boxers.
Because the popularity of boxers has a high ground, and the popularity represents ticket income, broadcast income, sponsorship contracts, etc., often directly linked to the boxing match.
For example, if it is a newcomer and newcomer game, there are certainly few people willing to go to the game to watch the game, but if Mayweather and Pacquiao come to a game, it is definitely full of seats, the ratings are bursting, this is not just It is a difference in strength, but also a difference in popularity, because the ultimate goal of boxing is to make money.
Tang Hao is not well-known in professional boxing, but his popularity is not excessive than all professional boxers.
To put it bluntly, Tang Hao's professional boxing opener is willing to go to the scene to watch, or willing to pay to watch, there are definitely a lot of people here, not only boxing fans, but Tang Hao accumulated in various sports Fans.
The reason why Arum asked Tang Hao to first define the weight to the welterweight, in addition to controlling the weight as mentioned earlier, there is also an important point that in this kilogram, there are actually two of the most well-known Boxing champion, Mayweather and Pacquiao.
Of course, Tang Hao has just set foot in professional boxing now, and they have little chance to play against them in the first game, but Mayweather is the champion of WBC and WBA in this level, and Pacquiao is the world champion of WBO. Since Rum has said that two games have made Tang Hao the world boxing champion of this level, the encounter is a matter of time.
After a lot of trade-offs, Arum chose his opponent for the opener Baktia Ebov from Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan is a world boxing power, and there are countless boxers fighting for professional boxing. It is the country with the largest number of professional boxers in Asia. The most well-known one is the nickname "GGG". WBA and IBO are active world middleweight boxers. Gennadi Goro Fukin.
Although fame and strength are not far from that of Gorovkin, Ebov's strength is still not to be underestimated. He is only 24 years old, but he is already the welterweight Pan Asian intercontinental champion of WBA and WBO.
After fixing his opponent, Arum went to Kazakhstan himself.
"Sorry, Mr. Bob, my team and I don't want to play with a newcomer." After listening to Arum's invitation, Ebov couldn't help but laugh.
"What did you say about Tang?" Ebov's boxing promoter Nopal Ivanov said with a smile.
"Tang Hao, don't you know him?" Arum was slightly surprised.
"Why do we know a newcomer boxer?" Ivanov smiled and looked at Arum, who was also a promoter. He suddenly felt that Arum was a bit old.
"He is not a rookie boxer. He won the 60 kg Olympic title at the London Olympics just ended." Arum said, taking a cigar.
"Haha, Bob, are you really confused? An Olympic champion, and still in the 60 kg class, shouldn't he go to play lightweight or junior lightweight?" Ivanov said When he laughed, he said that he thought Arum was really confused. If it were not for Arum's status, he would have rushed.
"He will gain weight."
Arum's next words made Ivanov and Ebov stunned, and then they couldn't help laughing.
Arum was not angry, but also smiling, smoking his cigar slowly.
"Hey, Bob, this is the end of today's conversation. Both of us don't have to waste time on it anymore, really." Ebov put his smile away and said, sitting straight.
Obviously, this is to make a guest order.
"Gentlemen, I think it's necessary for me to introduce Tang Hao to you. To be honest, it really surprised me not to know him." Arum put down his cigar and said with a smile.
"The last chance, I don't want to give the opportunity of a challenge to a new person, it will be a huge financial loss for me." Ebov followed.
"Tang Hao, nicknamed Jesus, the boxer killer. Like I said before, he is the champion of the 60kg Olympics, but at the same time, he is also the champion of archery and swimming in the London Olympics. In fact, he won 14 fast gold medals in London. "" Arum said unhurriedly.
"What?!" Ebov and Ivanov said almost in unison.
Although Tang Hao's popularity is high, it is in the swimming field, in the boxing world, especially in the professional boxing world, he is not well-known, and non-top fighters like Ebov will not deliberately, also There is no time to get to know famous people in other fields.
However, popularity is visibility, as long as it exists, it is linked to money.
"What you said is true?" Ivanov flashed his eyes at this moment.
"If you don't believe it, you can check it for yourself." Arum said as he picked up the cigar and took a sip.
There Ivanov took out the tablet without hesitation and searched, waiting to see Tang Hao's news one by one, his expression was more and more excited.
"This man, he just went to Amazon with Bell, killed two Caimans, an eight-meter-long forest anaconda, and also shot a bull shark and caught a jaguar as a pet. He and Bell This trip to Amazon created more than 200 million US dollars in revenue." Ivanov said more and more excited.
Ebov was shocked when he heard what Ivanov said.
Arum looked at the reaction of the two and shook his head slightly. It seemed that the two had really not watched the news for some time. This Ivanov and this promotion person were also third-rate.
"He hasn't played professional boxing before?" Ebov asked at this time.
"Yes, this is the opener of his professional boxing. I think the income he can bring will not be lower than that of a champion like Pacquiao." Arum followed.
"But why did you choose me?" Ebov asked, apparently agreeing.
Arum smiled, he can't always say that because he just needed a stepping stone, and you happen to be an intercontinental champion? He followed, "Because you are a very good opponent."
Ebov smiled, and apparently Arum's words made him very useful.
"The scores were 55 points according to the convention? Or 46 points?" Ivanov saw that Ebov had agreed, and then said, before signing a formal agreement, they need to reach a verbal agreement.
"28 points." Arum said shaking the soot on his cigar.
"28?" Ivanov looked a little surprised, and said, "Although Tang is a newcomer, I don't think we want to take advantage of this kind of cheapness. If it spreads, it also says that we are bullying the newcomer."
"Nopal is right. Although Tang is a newcomer, I am willing to score 55 points with him." Ebov followed.
Arum smiled at this moment, after smoking a cigar, he said, "You are angle B."
As soon as these words came out, Ebov and Ivanov froze.
In professional boxing, there are points A and B. Point A is obviously the heavier one in the game, and it is also the one that is considered more promising to win. Similarly, he will also occupy a large share of the revenue share.
The so-called 55 points and 46 points actually represent the weight between the two boxers. The ratio proposed by Ivanov is based on Tang Hao’s popularity. Otherwise, even if they accept this newcomer challenge, they will also Expel higher ratios.
But they never imagined that Arum wanted them to be the corner B, and it was still 28 points!
This is simply humiliation!
"Of course, if you are not willing, I can find someone else. You know, there are so many intercontinental boxing champions, and you are not the only ones." Arum said seriously at this time.
Ebov gasped, and he really felt ashamed and humiliated.
But at this time Ivanov was silent and did not speak, and then he suddenly said to Arum: "We need time to think about it."
"15 minutes." Arum said as he got out of the room.
"Asshole, this guy is humiliating me!" When Arum came out of the room, Ebov shouted angrily~EbookFREE.me~ Bob, this old fox, was really abhorrent, I still underestimated him. "Ivanov followed Ebov's words.
"I'm definitely not going to play this kind of boxing match!" Ebov was furious.
"Buck, I think this is an opportunity for us." Ivanov said suddenly at this time.
"Opportunity?!" Ebov was furious. He didn't expect his boxing promoters to think that way.
"This Tang Hao, he had never played professional boxing before. He thought that professional boxing and amateur boxing were just children. But in fact, if he played against you, he would quickly feel that this is completely different. In this level of competition, he will be knocked down by you soon." Ivanov followed.
"Of course, such a newcomer, I don't even need a round." Ebov said disdainfully.
"So I said, this is an opportunity for us." Ivanov said immediately.
"What do you mean?" Ebov slowly quelled his anger, as if somewhat understood.
