207 Huang Yifei's oath

In the original history, this fight will be a fight between Pacquiao and De La Hoya, and Arum and "Golden Boy" De La Hoya named this event "Dream Fight", which is also the most successful boxing match run by Boss Kim and Arum at the time, creating a number of historical records at that time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At that time, the total prize fund of this "dream battle" was as high as 100 million US dollars, breaking the record of 65 million dollars set by Mike Tyson and Evand Holyfield in 1997, and it was far exceeded.

From the point of view of prize money, it is not an exaggeration to call boxing the first gold-absorbing event in the sports world, which is why Huang Yifei didn't pay much attention to money before, because as long as he is famous, no athlete's event bonus income can surpass that of a boxing superstar, even a football superstar who is known as the world's No. 1 competition.

In this "dream battle", the winning Pacquiao finally took away a prize of 65 million US dollars, which is worth Yao Ming's salary for 4 years, and the losing De La Hoya also received a bonus of 35 million US dollars.

Although the "battle of honor" between Huang Yifei and Pacquiao did not reach such an exaggerated level of 100 million US dollars in history. But 50 million US dollars can be regarded as a record for the entire Asian boxing scene. When Huang Yifei heard this number, even if he knew the records in history, he was still shocked.

As for the reason why it is 50 million less than history, it is because the world boxing is still dominated by white people. And paid on-demand is basically dominated by European and American audiences. At the beginning, De La Hoya, even if he was in the last years of his hero, the influence and attention he brought was still stronger than that of Pacquiao, who was on the rise.

Now it has changed from a historical "dream war" to an "honor war" of the Asian civil war. "As a result, many European and American viewers don't want to buy it, this Nima is two Asians fighting, without our European and American fighters, what else is there to look at? And the paid on-demand rates in China and the Philippines are almost negligible.

But even so, if Huang Yifei wins, he will also get close to $25 million in prize money, if he loses, Huang Yifei will only get about $15 million in tournament prize money, and Pacquiao will get $35 million in prize money.

There is no way, now Huang Yifei's fame is far less than that of Pacquiao, and the price of sponsorship income and advertiser income is much lower. And in terms of agents, Liu Gang's operation is also far worse than Arum, so this time the event is dominated by Arum, rather than the original top boxing promotion and Golden Boy promotion.

The reduction of the bonus was also expected by Huang Yifei, and he didn't care much about these. After the baptism of this "battle of honor", the fame of himself and Liu Gang will be boosted explosively, and when Liu Gang comes to operate the event again in the future, he will not suffer so much. After all, not only Chinese boxing, but also Chinese boxing agents and promotion companies are also in a stage of exploration and growth.

And this bonus can be regarded as a solution to Huang Yifei's urgent need, the construction of the training base ~ place in the United States, plus Mario's coaching fees, almost spent almost all the money Huang Yifei had saved before.

When he had no money before, Huang Yifei felt that the bonus of hundreds of thousands of dollars seemed to be inexhaustible, because the coaching team was a burden on the state. But now it's my turn to operate independently, and with the fact that I came to the United States to develop, the cost is much higher. However, this boxing match is enough for everything, and Huang Yifei is also about to officially enter the class of local tyrants!

Once the battle of honor between Huang Yifei and Pacquiao was confirmed, Arum began to prepare a press conference and began to hype up the match. On the one hand, China's boxing prodigy, who has broken several world records since the beginning of his professional competition. On the other side is the Philippine national treasure boxer, the first person in Asia, and the man who has created many miracles.

This event, since the news came out, has attracted the attention of countless people, and it has made many boxing fans excited. Some people in China have begun to prepare to form a group to go to New York to cheer for Huang Yifei, which is definitely an important step on the road to the growth of Chinese boxing superstars!

The location of the press conference was chosen to be the Empire State Building in New York, which was not the location of the press conference designed by Arum, but the location of the press conference that Huang Yifei strongly requested to change, for which Huang Yifei paid as much as 500,000 US dollars to charter an entire floor of the Empire State Building as the address of his press conference.

For Huang Yifei's behavior, Arum said that he didn't understand it very much, but thinking that the money was Huang Yifei's out, and it could expand the influence of this event, although Arum didn't understand, he was very happy to do it.

In fact, not only Arum, but even Liang Boyu and Wang Tao, who joined the team later, did not understand that in their eyes it was just a press conference, and they must know that renting the highest press conference venue at the China National Convention Center is only 400,000 yuan. This $500,000 is a multiplier several times, is it necessary?

Wang Tao is old, and his personality doesn't like to ask too much. However, Liang Boyu finally couldn't help but ask Huang Yifei when he was free: "Yifei, is it too extravagant to charter an entire floor of the Empire State Building as the address of the press conference?"

Hearing Liang Boyu's words, Huang Yifei just smiled, then stood next to the window, looked at the American street scene outside and said silently:

"Boyu, you know, when I first came to the United States, I was playing at the World Championships. At that time, I was just an unknown amateur boxer, China is also a country with a very weak boxing foundation, I am in the United States, the center of world boxing, no one can see me, and no one can see Chinese boxing. ”

"At that time, I suffered a lot of cold eyes and ridicule with the national team, but I didn't have any strength and historical record to fight back face to face. At that time, the coach told me, remember these eyes, until they are beaten in the ring to the point that they dare not look you in the eye!"

I memorized the phrase and knocked out any opponent standing in front of me. But I was still ridiculed by American boxers, because we Chinese don't have professional boxing champions! I said something at that time, do you want to know?"

"What?"

"There is no professional boxing champion in China now, it does not mean that there will be no in the future, and one day, your professional professional boxing scene in the United States will be conquered by the Chinese!" )
