"You defeated Tang Hao in this game. Although Tang Hao is a professional boxing rookie, he is very well-known. If you defeat him, your popularity will also increase with the flow. Then, maybe you don't have to play qualifying games like others, but you can directly get the chance to challenge like Mayweather or Pacquiao." Ivanov said bluntly.

"You are right." Ebov also turned around at this time.

"So, don't worry about the share, when you win, it will become a powerful weapon to promote you." Ivanov became more and more excited as he spoke.

"So, we agree?"

"Of course I have to agree. In fact, even if I only get 20%, I will probably be much higher than our usual boxing match."

Ebov nodded. Although such a share is unpleasant, he is a professional boxer and he cannot make it difficult to get over money.

Outside the door, Arum held his watch and looked at the time. Five minutes had passed.

At this moment, Ivanov opened the door and said with a smile: "Mr. Bob, we have made a decision."

Seeing Ivanov's expression, Arum smiled. It seemed that Ivanov was not as stupid as he thought.

On the third day after Tang Hao announced his retirement, news that Tang Hao would fight the opening match with WBC Pan-Asian intercontinental boxing champion Ebov was immediately reported.

After this report came out, a reporter confirmed with the boxers on both sides and received a positive answer.

This time, it was like a stone of a sudden stir.

Ebof is still quite well-known in the eyes of Asian boxing fans. What they didn't expect was that Ebof would accept Tang Hao's challenge, but that Tang Hao actually chose an intercontinental boxing champion in his first professional game.

This is a very risky approach. You should know that many well-known boxing champions have very few career losses. If they lose in the first game, it will definitely be a blow to Tang Hao's future professional boxing path.

Although most people are impressed by Tang Hao's performance at the London Olympics, amateur and professional competitions are two completely different competitions, and they still think Tang Hao is a bit arrogant.

Perhaps it is precisely this contrast that the boxing competition promotion has attracted countless people's attention before it even started.

The game was held at the Almaty Boxing Center, the largest boxing ring in the capital of Kassekstan.

The Almaty Boxing Center is located in Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan. In Kazakhstan, where boxing style is prevalent, this boxing gym is also the venue with the largest number of spectators in China, and can accommodate up to 10,000 people to watch the game.

The game was scheduled for December 16, which happened to be Kazakhstan's Independence Day, and this game was also called the "Fight of Independence".

After setting the competition location and date, Tang Hao immediately began his weight gain plan.

At this time, Zhuang Jiajie and his team had developed a lot. Tang Hao's weight gain naturally had professional nutritionists in charge. With two months left before the competition, it was not too difficult to gain more than ten pounds.

However, this is also a big challenge for Tang Hao, because after gaining weight, his body becomes different from before. It takes a process to adapt, not to mention that his weight changes from time to time.

In an instant, more than two months passed, and Tang Hao successfully increased from 60 kilograms to 67 kilograms. Under reasonable dietary control, he basically increased his muscles. Compared with before, he was obviously stronger.

With half a month left before the start of the competition, Tang Hao, Zhuang Jiajie, and his team boarded the plane to Almaty.

Kazakhstan is close to China and is one of China's 14 land neighbors. Although they are developing countries like China, the Almaty they are going to this time is one of the few big cities in Central Asia.

Almaty originally belonged to the former Soviet Union. After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, it became the capital of Kazakhstan. Although the capital of Kassakhstan has now moved to Anasta, as the largest city in Central Asia, it has played a great influence in its past history and now Central Asia.

When entering the sky above Almaty, Tang Hao also saw the legendary Tianshan Mountain. It was precisely because he was at the foot of Tianshan Mountain that Almaty was also known as the "Capital of Tianshan Mountain".

The plane landed at Almaty International Airport. After Tang Hao and the others got off the plane, they also felt the prosperity of the city. Aside from the different architectural styles, this metropolis looks not much different from the second-tier cities in China.

On the way to the hotel, the most they saw were apples and various buildings named after apples.

Almaty means Apple City in Kazakhstan, and the reason for this name is that this city produces apples.

After staying in the hotel, Tang Hao also had the opportunity to experience Central Asian culture.

Unlike the metropolis in China, although it is the largest city in Kassekstan, it gives people the feeling that it is not crowded or noisy, but more green and clean. You can even see many statues of people and flowers presented by people on the roadside.

Being in such a metropolis, you will indeed have a different experience.

Two days after arriving in Almaty, under the leadership of the WBC Alliance, Tang Hao and Ebov began the promotion of boxing matches.

The TV paid broadcast was sold out a month ago, and the endorsement provider also took the place early. In fact, because of Tang Hao, the total revenue brought by TV broadcast alone has exceeded 30 million US dollars. You should know that this is just the opening game of Tang Hao's professional boxing, and his opponent is just an intercontinental champion.

Tang Hao has also become the well-deserved first newcomer in professional boxing.

The so-called publicity and promotion activity is actually a promotional speech for two people in various parts of the city, so that more audiences can watch the competition in boxing competitions.

Any sports have a part of their own strength and the audience is also a crucial part. No matter how strong the performance is, it always requires spectators.

The first stop they promoted was the National Museum of Almaty, which is a landmark building in Almaty, and is one of the most crowded places in Almaty.

Although it is not as famous as Golovkin, Ebov's independence battle was strongly supported by the Almaty government, not only allowed the WBC Alliance to carry out promotion activities here, but also broadcast the news on the national TV station.

The result is that when Tang Hao and Ebof arrived at the stage outside the museum, there were already a crowd of people under the stage, and at least one or two thousand people were there.

Moreover, there are many media reporters here. It can be seen that in Kazakhstan, where boxing is prevalent, people are also looking forward to this battle of independence.

A mattress competition was held before the promotion event started, and the target of the mattress competition was very interesting. Use a certain amount of bonus to attract the audience on site, and then select the two strongest ones and start the fight directly on the stage.

This is the best hot event in Kazakhstan, where boxing is prevalent. After a game, the mood of the audience was already extremely high, and more and more citizens gathered here.

After the stage was basically overcrowded, the two protagonists Tang Hao and Ebof arrived late.

As soon as they appeared on the stage, they immediately attracted cheers from the people below.

"Buckha Bullet! Buckha Bullet!"

Many citizens shouted Ebof's nickname. It is obvious that as an intercontinental boxing champion, Ebof is quite popular in Almaty.

Listening to the cheers of the audience, Ebov raised his hand and waved his hand, and a hint of pride appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a brief introduction, the host first appeared as Tang Hao as a corner.

Seeing that Tang Hao appeared, the citizens below looked at each other. Although many of them knew Tang Hao, they did not understand why Tang Hao was a corner.

"I'm very happy to come to Almaty, which is a very beautiful city. I walked on the street of Albat and felt the history and culture of this city. I also climbed Mount Medio and was impressed by the scenery on the top of the mountain. It was a great thing to choose to start my professional boxing career in such a city. And it's also exciting to play against such an outstanding boxing player as Ebov. I believe we will definitely be able to contribute a wonderful boxing match for everyone in the battle of independence."

Tang Hao's speech was very contagious. As soon as he finished speaking, it immediately attracted a burst of cheers from the citizens. Although Tang Hao and Ebof could not be compared in their hearts, at least, the attitude of this newcomer boxer is still very good.

After Tang Hao's speech ended, Ebof followed.

Ebov's appearance ignited the citizens in the audience. He looked excited and kept waving his hands to signal the citizens. After he came on stage, he was also very proud.

"I am very happy to be in my intercontinental boxing champion defense battle in our motherland and my hometown. This is the best gift I give to my motherland. There is nothing more exciting than this. My opponent, he is the Olympic champion and a strong guy. His previous competitions will definitely be quite exciting. In this game, no matter who loses or who wins, I believe that the competition process will make people feel excited. This is a wonderful competition that the Kazakh brothers cannot miss."

Ebov's speech attracted a burst of cheers from the citizens below. Seeing their excitement, they wanted to pay for a ticket to watch the boxing competition immediately.

When he stepped down, Ebof looked at Tang Hao with a provocative look, and it felt like he was saying, "Look, I am the protagonist in the promotional activities."

Tang Hao smiled faintly and didn't take it seriously at all. Participating in promotional activities was just a routine matter. For him, what he was looking forward to is the next boxing match, because according to Arum's words, he would likely face Mayweather and Pacquiao in the next game.

As for Ebof in front of him, he had watched some games before and was not his current opponent at all.

Seeing that Tang Hao did not respond, Ebov's eyes became even more proud.

After getting off the stage, Tang Hao left early because of online publicity activities, while Ebov was surrounded by Kazakhstan reporters in the audience.

"Buckha Bullet, why aren't you the b-corner of this boxing match?"

"Buckha Bullet, I heard that the share of this boxing match is quite unfair. Your income is only 20%. Why do you want to participate in such a boxing match?"

"Buckha Bullet, do you think you can defeat the newcomer Tang Hao? As far as I can tell, he once knocked his opponent out of the ring on the Olympics!"

...

A series of problems followed one after another.

Ebof's slow answerer asked a question from the reporter: "Ab corner, income sharing, those things are talked about by my promoters, I don't care about these things. I participated because this game was held in Almaty, and I was able to compete in front of people in my hometown again. This has always been my motivation for participating in the game."

"Then are you confident of defeating Tang Hao?" the reporter asked.

"Confidence?" Ebof smiled at the doctor, looked straight at the reporter, and said with disdain on his lips: "Hey, man, you know that amateur boxing and professional boxing are different. How could I lose to a newcomer?"

"Then have you ever known about Tang Hao?" the reporter asked back.

"Hey man, you're really too serious, just an amateur boxer, don't really care so much, I'll win, Kazakhstan's boxer is the strongest."

“Kazakhstan will win!”

Ebof's answer immediately attracted the responses of several boxing fans behind him.

Ebof laughed loudly. In fact, although the boxing match has not started yet and he can only get 20%, he now expects to earn more than 10 million, which is much more than his entire career. Thinking about the popularity he will gain after defeating Tang Hao, he really wakes up when he falls asleep.

In the next few days, Tang Hao and Ebof were promoting each corner of the city, and they achieved very good results.

As the competition date approaches, a large number of Chinese people have appeared in the cities of Almaty.

Kazakhstan is a neighbor of China and borders the country. In fact, as long as you obtain a visa, you can come by by train, so Tang Hao’s fans will naturally not miss such an excellent opportunity.

A large number of Chinese people poured in to the ground to create a small consumption wave, but some citizens realized that they could no longer buy tickets to boxing matches.

More than 10,000 tickets were originally more than enough for people in Almaty, but in fact, only about 3,000 tickets were bought on the market, and the remaining more than 7,000 were all bought by Alma's promotion company, and then they were sold to the rich people and Chinese in Kazakhstan at a certain price difference.

Because of Tang Hao's influence, these tickets were sold out soon. Tang Hao's opening battle was forced to be hyped up by Arum by means of the war of the century.

Of course, the main reason here is Tang Hao's popularity. For most Chinese people, being able to see Tang Hao enter the professional boxing world is an extremely commemorative thing in itself.

The day of the game is approaching, and just the day before the game, after learning about Arum's approach, Tang Hao posted a Weibo on his personal Weibo.

After this Weibo post was posted, it caused an uproar.
