Chapter 294 Boxing Promoter

Genius remembers it in one second and provides you with wonderful reading.

"In fact, when I received the call from Zhuang, I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night. The cooperation between us will definitely become a landmark cooperation in professional boxing, and we will create a new history." After chatting a few polite words, Arum said to the point.

"I'm 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 beat around the bush.

"Yes, speed, I know, you want to be a boxing champion in the shortest time." Arum nodded and said.

"But as a partner, I don't recommend doing that." Arum suddenly changed his mind.

"Don't you believe in my strength? Why did you choose to cooperate with me?" Tang Hao said with some displeasure.

"No, I believe in your strength, but there is still a big difference between professional boxing and amateur boxing. You need a process of adapting. Isn't it said in China that hasteness means failure? I can arrange some new stars first. After you adapt, I will try to arrange a higher-level boxer for you."

"Don't worry, I believe that with your ability, you can become a welterweight boxing champion without using the market." Arum added.

"It seems that Zhuang didn't seem to be clear." Tang Hao frowned and said, "I don't need to adapt."

Arum was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Tang Hao to have such an attitude. However, he was a veteran promoter who had seen strong winds and waves. He only hesitated for a moment and then said, "If you persist, I will arrange it for you. If you can defeat your opponent, I can make you a professional boxing champion as soon as 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.

Tang Hao nodded. Before and after the Olympics, his height soared, but because he wanted to participate in the 60kg competition, he had been controlling his weight. Now he wants to enter the professional boxing world, gaining weight is inevitable.

"You need to gain weight to the middleweight welterweight level. Although you are a little taller, if you gain too much weight at one time, the burden will be very high." Arum said.

"This is no problem." Tang Hao nodded and said.

Arum took a sip of the cigar, then put it out, then stood up and reached out and said, "Then you just wait for my good news."

Tang Hao also reached out and shook hands with Arum.

The day after 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 on boxing retirement in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Retirement is a sad thing for a boxer, but this time it is completely the opposite, because at the retirement press conference, Tang Hao announced that he would enter the professional boxing world next, and that it would be the welterweight!

The division between professional boxing and amateur boxing is different. It is not divided into 7 major levels including heavyweight, heavyweight, middleweight, lightweight, and lightweight. It is divided into 15 sub-events and middleweight, which is infinitely close to middleweight competitions. Its weight requirement is 67 kilograms.

Such news is undoubtedly at the level of earthquake for Chinese boxing fans.

Boxing has a huge impact worldwide, which has also accumulated a large number of boxing fans in China. However, there are too few people in China who can play professional boxing, and they can count it with their fingers. Most of them are concentrated in low-level featherweight or below, and at most, they are intercontinental boxing champions, and no one has yet to win the boxing champion.

Now, Tang Hao, known as an all-round athlete, is going to enter this field, and it is at the welterweight level. What else can excite boxing fans more than this!

Tang Hao announced his entry into the professional boxing world, which is absolutely exciting news, and at the same time, Arum's work progressed quite smoothly.

In the world boxing world, four major professional alliances are generally recognized, namely ba (World Boxing Association), b (World Boxing Council), ib (International Boxing Federation) and Bo (World Boxing Organization).

Each of these four major alliances has a corresponding world boxing champion at each level, which is the well-known boxing champion gold belt holder. Under the gold belt, there are silver belts and intercontinental gold belt holders.

For ordinary boxers, if they want to become a world-class boxing champion, the ultimate goal of the first step is the intercontinental boxing champion. If they want to obtain the intercontinental boxing champion's challenge, they must obtain certain points.

Of course, this is not applicable to all fighters.

Because boxers have a high reputation, popularity means ticket revenue, broadcast revenue, sponsorship contracts, etc., which are often directly linked to boxing competitions.

For example, if it is a newcomer and a newcomer game, there will definitely be very few people who are willing to watch the game on site, but if Mayweather and Pacquiao have a game, it will definitely be full and the ratings are overwhelming. This is not only a difference in strength, but also a difference in popularity, because the ultimate goal of boxing matches is to make money.

Tang Hao is not famous in the professional boxing world, but it is not an exaggeration to say that his popularity is higher than that of all professional boxers.

To put it bluntly, there are definitely many people who are willing to watch the opening battle of Tang Hao's professional boxing, who are willing to watch it on site or for a fee. There are not only boxing fans, but more of them are fans that Tang Hao has accumulated in various sports.

The reason why Arum asked Tang Hao to define his weight to the welterweight level is, in addition to controlling weight like mentioned earlier, there are also very important points that in this kilogram level, there are two actually the most well-known boxing champions, Mayweather and Pacquiao.

Of course, Tang Hao has just entered the professional boxing world and has little chance of playing against them in the first game, but Mayweather is the boxing champion of B and Ba in this level, while Pacquiao is the world boxing champion of Bo. Since Arum said that he had made Tang Hao the world boxing champion of this level, it would be a matter of time before he met.

After some trade-offs, Arum chose his opponent for the opening match to Baktya Ebov from Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan is a world boxing power, and there are countless boxers fighting professional boxing. It is the country with the most professional boxers in Asia. The most well-known ones are nicknamed "ggg", Ba and Ibo, the active world middleweight champion Gennadi Golovkin.

Although his fame and strength are quite different from Golov, Ebov's strength is still not to be underestimated. He is only 24 years old, but he is already the welterweight pan-Asian intercontinental boxing champion of Ba and Bo.

After arriving at his opponent, Arum went to Kazakhstan in person.

"Sorry, Mr. Bob, my team and I don't want to play with a newcomer." Ebof couldn't help but smile after hearing Arum's invitation.

"What are you talking about Don?" Ebov's boxing promoter Nopal Ivanov said with a smile.

"Tang Hao, don't you know him?" Arum was slightly surprised.

"Why do we need to know a new boxer?" Ivanov looked at Arum with a smile. As a promotional person, he suddenly felt that Arum was a little confused.

"He is not a new boxer. He won the 60kg Olympic champion at the just-concluded London Olympics." Arum said slowly, taking a cigar.

"Haha, Bob, are you really confused? An Olympic champion and a 60kg class. Shouldn't he play lightweight or first-time lightweight competitions?" Ivanov said with a laugh at this time. He felt that Arum was really confused. If it weren't for Arum's status, he would have driven people long ago.

“He will gain weight.”

Arum's next words made Ivanov and Ebov stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing one after another.

Arum was not angry either, but smiled, slowly smoking his cigar.

"Hey, Bob, that's all for today's conversation. We don't have to waste time on this anymore, really." Ebof said with a smile, sitting up straight.

Obviously, this is an order to expel guests.

"Gentlemen, I think it's necessary for me to introduce Tang Hao to you. To be honest, it really surprised me that you didn't know him." Arum put down the cigar and said with a smile.

"I don't want to give the challenge opportunity to a newcomer, it will be a huge financial loss for me," Ebof said.

"Tang Hao, nicknamed Jesus, is a boxing killer. As I said before, he is the Olympic champion in the 60kg class, but at the same time, he is also the London Olympics archery and swimming champion. In fact, he won 14 fast gold medals in London." Arum said slowly.

"What?!" Ebov and Ivanov said almost in unison.

Although Tang Hao is very famous, he is in the swimming field, boxing, especially in the professional boxing field, and he is not very famous. A boxer like Ebov, who is not the top boxer, will not deliberately and will not have time to learn about famous people in other fields.

However, popularity is popularity. As long as it exists, it is linked to money.

"Are you saying true?" Ivanov's eyes shone at this time.

"If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself." Arum said, picking up the cigar and taking a sip.

Ivanov took out the tablet without hesitation and searched it. After watching Tang Hao's related news, his expression became more and more excited.

"This man, he had just gone to Amazon with Bell, killed two caimans, an eight-meter-long anaconda, shot a bull shark, and caught a jaguar as a pet. This Amazon trip between him and Bell generated more than $200 million in revenue." Ivanov became more and more excited as he spoke.

Ebov also looked shocked when he heard what Ivanov said.

Arum looked at the reactions of the two people and shook his head slightly. It seemed that these two people had really not read the news for a while. Ivanov, the promoter, is also a third-rate player.

"He hasn't played professional boxing before?" Ebof asked at this time.

"Yes, this is the opening game of his professional boxing. I think the income he can bring is not lower than a boxing champion like Pacquiao." Arum said.

"But why choose me?" Ebov asked, obviously he had agreed.

Arum smiled. He couldn't say that because he happened to need a stepping stone, and you happened to be the intercontinental boxing champion, right? He followed, "Because you are a very good opponent."

Ebov had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that Arum's words were very helpful to him.

"Will that share the share be 55 points as usual? Or 46 points?" Ivanov saw that Ebov had agreed and said, "Before signing the formal agreement, they need to reach an oral agreement first.

"28 points." Arum said, shaking the ashes on the cigar.

"28?" Ivanov seemed a little surprised and said, "Although Tang is a newcomer, I don't think we want to take advantage of this. If this is spread, we will say that we are bullying the newcomer."

"Nopal is right. Although Tang is a newcomer, I am willing to score 55 points with him." Ebof said.

Arum smiled at this time, took a sip of the cigar and said, "You are b-horn."

As soon as these words came out, Ebov and Ivanov were stunned.

In professional boxing competitions, there are differences between a corner and b corner. A corner is obviously the one with heavier weight in the competition and the one who is considered to have more hope of winning. Similarly, he will also occupy a large part of his income 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 kind of newcomer challenge, they will be fired at a higher proportion.

But they never expected that Arum would actually make them a B-corner, and they would still be 28 points!

This is simply humiliation!

"Of course, if you don't want to, I can find someone else. You must know that there are so many intercontinental boxing champions, and you are not the only ones." Arum said seriously at this time.

Ebof was panting, he really felt that he had been humiliated.

But at this time Ivanov was silent and didn't say anything, and then he suddenly said to Arum: "We need time to think about it."

"15 minutes." Arum said, getting up and leaving the room.

"Bastard, this guy is humiliating me!" Ebof shouted angrily when Arum left the room.

"Bob is really abominable, I still underestimate him." Ivanov said in accordance with Ebov's words.

"I will never play such a boxing match!" Ebov's anger was not gone.

"Bak, I think this is an opportunity for us." Ivanov said suddenly at this time.

"Opportunity?!" Ebof was furious. He didn't expect that his boxing promoter would have such a view.

"Tang Hao, he has never played professional boxing before. He thought that professional boxing and amateur boxing were just children playing house, but in fact, if he played against you, he would quickly feel that this was a completely two-level game and he would be knocked down by you very soon." Ivanov said.

"Of course, I can't even use a newcomer like this for a round." Ebov said disdainfully.

"So I said, this is a chance for us," Ivanov said immediately.
