Chapter 298 Mayweather
As Tang Hao spoke, the camera on the scene quickly pointed the camera at Bob Arum in the audience.
In the professional boxing world, the fastest winner was Thai boxer Sarensak Muangsulin. He won the boxing champion's gold belt in just three professional games in 1975, but that was more than 30 years ago. With the promotion of boxing and the increase in boxing strength, it would be a fantasy to break this record.
Tang Hao is really not shocking to speak!
Arum didn't seem to expect Tang Hao to say this on such an occasion, but he did not respond in person, but instead reached out and gave Tang Hao a thumbs up.
"Ok, it's a great statement, we look forward to it, and then, your appearance is cool, like I take the liberty, why did you choose this way of appearance, a jaguar, you know, maybe it's outside the rules." Buffal said bluntly.
"That's my friend, I just want to bring it with me. Then, there seems to be no regulations for professional boxing to bring friends into the court, right?" Tang Hao asked back.
"Okay." Buffel smiled helplessly and did not ask any more questions. After all, neither the promotion company nor the audience had any objections, and the host was just out of curiosity.
"Finally, congratulations on becoming the intercontinental boxing champion, and look forward to having the opportunity to cooperate in the next game." Buffel said with a smile.
"Yes." Tang Hao nodded. As a famous host, Buffale's next battle is the boxing champion, and he will definitely not miss it.
After waving to the audience, Tang Hao then jumped out of the ring with a golden belt in his back on his back.
"I think you should also find two younger brothers. When the guy Ebof appeared in front, the guy behind him looked a little handsome with a gold belt." Zhuang Jiajie took Tang Hao's gold belt and said.
"That's all after getting the boxing champion's gold belt. And then there's really no one, so you can just go up. Even though you've lost a little weight, you won't be able to lift a gold belt, right?" Tang Hao said with a smile.
"This idea is good." Zhuang Jiajie nodded with a smile.
"Bob." At this time, Arum had already walked over, and Tang Hao greeted him with a smile.
"You played very well, even better than I thought." Arum said with a smile.
"Ebov's strength is also better than I thought, but he obviously did not prepare for me." Tang Hao told the truth.
"I can see that he didn't take you seriously, otherwise you would probably be able to play one or two more rounds, although the result is the same."
Tang Hao nodded, what Arum said was true.
"So, this is something I want to talk to you. Let's go to the lounge, right?" Arum said.
"Take the gold belt back first." Tang Hao turned around and said to Zhuang Jiajie.
Zhuang Jiajie nodded and called his assistant to take the gold belt.
Tang Hao followed him to the lounge with Arum.
"So, after experiencing the first professional boxing game, did you decide to play the World Boxing Championship in the second game?" Arum entered the lounge and lit a cigar, took a sip, and said to Tang Hao.
"Is there any difference?" Tang Hao walked to the stool and sat down.
"Ebov is just an intercontinental boxing champion. You should know his strength. If he plays against you in a targeted manner, it will not be easy for you to win." Arum said with his eyes straight at Tang Hao, "Then, you have to know the gap between the intercontinental boxing champion and the world boxing champion. It is not the same level at all. It is not that I underestimate you, but in front of opponents with more experience and more means, you have a high chance of losing."
Arum has trained several world-famous top boxing champions and has seen too many boxing matches. When he said this, he looked serious and could tell that he was really giving advice to Tang Hao.
"You are right, but I didn't use all my strength in this game." Tang Hao said seriously. What he said was the truth. He actually only used Jeet Kune Do, which he was good at, in fact, he only used it once in the end.
Arum stared at Tang Hao for a long time. After knowing Tang Hao's determination, he followed and said, "Since you are so determined, I will bring you the game you want."
"If I guess correctly, the opponent you would choose for me is Mayweather, right?" Tang Hao asked.
Arum nodded cheerfully.
Ebof is the opponent chosen by Arum, and this time the game is led by WBC, so the person who wants to challenge must be WBC's world-class boxing champion, and now the person holding that gold belt is Mayweather, and it is not difficult to realize this.
"As far as I know, Mayweather should be the boxer with the highest appearance fee in the active boxing world, right? Will he be willing to compete with me?" Tang Hao asked curiously.
"Mayweather, since 2009, it has been a frequency of boxing matches a year." Arum said.
"You're talking about it, only one thing."
"And that guy, no promotion company, no agent, he doesn't believe in anyone else, everything he manages himself, he is the smartest boxer in the world." Arum had a high opinion of Mayweather.
Tang Hao looked at Arum and waited for his next sentence.
"But." Arum took a chew of a cigar and changed the subject, "This just shows how much that guy loves money. He likes to post luxury cars on Twitter and shows a lot of money. That guy loves money as his life."
After hearing this, Tang Hao was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "I suddenly knew why you asked me to fight Ebov in the first round."
"You want him to see my money-making ability." Tang Hao said.
"It seems you are very smart, and I do it," Arum said. "Kazakhstan is a remote countryside, and Ebov is not well-known in the world boxing world, but even so, because of you, the income of this boxing match exceeded 40 million US dollars. This is a very exaggerated data, for a newcomer's opening game."
"A boxer like Pacquiao has his own pride. He will not fight you in the second game of your career, and the same is true for Alexander of iPo, but Mayweather is different. As long as you have enough income, he can fight anyone. Once you defeat Mayweather, Pacquiao will definitely no longer underestimate you. Then your battle of unification will not even need me to speak." Arum said jokingly.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being an old fox.
Tang Hao recited silently in his heart, and then said, "It seems that you have helped me plan the future."
"This is the most successful and fastest way, and it is a shortcut. If it weren't for your persistence, I wouldn't recommend you to do this, because the opponent you will face next is much stronger than you thought." Arum said, picking up the cigar and taking a sip.
"I know." Tang Hao didn't change his mind. He always fought with these people who were weaker than him. This was the most passionate boxing match. Perhaps fighting with the top boxing champion in advance can bring him a sense of excitement.
Arum didn't say anything else, and stood up, waved his hand and then prepared to leave. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and then turned around and said, "Your way of appearing is very special."
Tang Hao smiled.
Arum also smiled and then left the lounge.
After the game, Tang Hao and Zhuang Jiajie did not stay in Almaty, and they then returned to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
In fact, they won't stay in the Shanghai market for too long. If Arum finalizes the boxing champion competition, Tang Hao will go to the United States to prepare for this boxing champion battle.
After returning to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the first thing Tang Hao and his team did was to fulfill his promise on Weibo, and he donated a lot of his money to the Tang Hao Foundation.
Because the foundation has an open and transparent system, you can find out the donation and use of this money by logging in to the website, and you cannot make fakes at all.
Tang Hao's approach of saying this must also make his foundation famous.
But all this is obviously a good thing, because the higher the popularity, it means that more people will donate money and more people will receive funding.
Tang Hao also spared no effort to promote it on Weibo, which has become a part of his life for him.
And just a few days after Tang Hao returned to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Arum called him.
After weighing the trade-offs, Mayweather decided to accept Tang Hao's challenge. The two will stage a boxing champion competition with Tang Hao on April 1, April Fool's Day, US time.
As Arum expected, although he didn't know Tang Hao, after hearing about Tang Hao's money-making ability in his first game in his career, according to Arum's description, Mayweather jumped up from his leather chair and asked three times, "Really?", and then happily accepted the game.
Tang Hao vs Mayweather, the news was reported through media the day after it was confirmed.
After the news came out, it was like an atomic bomb was detonated, and the entire media news was shocked.
One is the professional boxer with the highest reputation and appearance fee in the world today, and the other is an unprecedented all-round athlete. The two are both the most famous and money-making ability in the world. If the two meet, not to mention the outcome of the game, the economic income alone can bring is already a very worthy of expectations.
The WBC League, which hosted this competition, also attaches great importance to it and admitted that it will work hard to make the game live broadcast globally.
Just after the two sides decided that this boxing contest would be held at Staples Center in Los Angeles, the room agreement hotline of Staples Center was instantly blown up.
Tickets to Staples Center have not yet started pre-sale, but boxing fans around the world can no longer hold back and are ready to move.
A week after the news was released, after handling all aspects of the national team, Tang Hao and Zhuang Jiajie also set off for the United States to prepare for the next battle for the boxing champion.
Los Angeles, the largest city in California, USA, is known as the "City of Angels" and is also the second largest city in the United States after New York.
This city is well-known all over the world, and one thing is that it comes from Hollywood derived. Of course, in addition to that, its oil, aviation and finance are all the most advanced in the world.
Perhaps for some basketball fans, the Los Angeles Lakers, which belongs to the NBA and the team's star Kobe Bryant, is also an aspect that it is well-known to the public.
Arum and Mayweather chose to play here. In addition to being an international metropolis, another important point is that Los Angeles is also one of the gathering places for Chinese people. They obviously hope that this boxing match can attract enough Chinese audiences.
In short, everything is to look at money.
After Tang Hao and Zhuang Jiajie arrived in Los Angeles, they moved into the apartment they had rented.
In the next time, all Tang Hao has to do is study Mayweather's videos and then find the tactics that suit him the most.
Although Mayweather has a bad reputation, his strength is definitely the top. It is not easy to defeat him. You should know that Mayweather’s record so far is 43 wins and 0 losses, and he has never lost.
After Tang Hao finished training on this day, he went to the street alone to stroll around.
He had to experience it even after finally coming to Angel City.
Although he doesn't have to be surrounded by fans at any time abroad like in China, he still wears a hat and looser clothes, which looks ordinary and doesn't have to worry about being recognized.
As an international metropolis, Los Angeles is basically the same as that of domestic first-tier cities, and even more prosperous. Of course, the most important point is air quality, which is incomparable to domestic metropolis.
Moreover, there are indeed many Chinese people. When he took a taxi to the supermarket, the drivers who drove were all Chinese drivers, and he was almost recognized.
I bought some things in the supermarket. When Tang Hao came out, he realized that he had walked through the wrong door and came out from the back door. He was about to go around the front door to take a taxi.
However, after walking for less than two steps, he saw a car parked on the side of the road. When he saw that it was an empty car, he took it directly.
"Hey, man, where are you going?"
Tang Hao heard the sound a little familiar, and then turned around and was startled when he saw the taxi driver.
What a big guy, who looked at at least 300 kilograms, stuffed the entire cab, wearing a huge hat, and long braids on both sides.
However, after a few glances, he always felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar.
"Hey, man, I'm not a beauty, why do you stare at me?" the driver said.
Tang Hao withdrew his gaze and said, "Go to Apartment X, X Street, Los Angeles."
"Okay, we're leaving." The driver said and started the car.
"Hey man, the place you live in is very good. As far as I know, it's a place where rich people can live." The driver said as he drove.
This driver looks more talkative.
"I live at a relative's house." Tang Hao said.
"Oh, then you are so lucky to have such a good relative." The driver continued to chat.
"Yes, but I just arrived in Los Angeles. I believe that it won't take long to make money to support myself." Tang Hao was also inspired by the driver and started chatting.
"It's not easy to find a good job in Los Angeles. Look at me, I can only drive a taxi." The driver continued.
"Maybe we might become colleagues." Tang Hao looked at the driver's gaze from time to time and looked in the direction of the middle rearview mirror. He suddenly realized something.
"Maybe, it's really possible." The driver said as he arrived at a traffic light intersection. After stopping, he followed, "Man, do you know basketball? It's nba."
Listening to the driver's words, he looked at the driver's face next to him again, and Tang Hao suddenly couldn't help but smile.
Chapter completed!
