July 20, Rhode Island, USA. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The largest island in Rhode State, the island has long been considered a vacation destination for America's wealthy, with the mansions of some of the most famous figures in American history.

Mandoza-Lewis rode in the Cadillac President One, the spacious back seat was not enough to soothe his anxious mood, and he couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at a luxurious villa outside.

The villa area outside is called Marble Hills, which was once the summer vacation home of the Vanderbilt family, an American railroad tycoon.

The Vanderbilt family was so powerful that at one point, they even had more wealth than the whole of America. As a result, the marble villa was naturally built with great luxury, and the internal and external materials were all made of imported marble from Greece, and after completion, it was hailed as "the most luxurious building in American history" and was once one of the most remarkable buildings in the United States.

The car was moving smoothly and quickly, and all of a sudden, the speed slowed down.

Mandoza frowned and asked in a smoother voice than the previous car, "Ali, what's going on?" ”

The black driver explained: "Mr. President, it seems that there is a crew filming here, and the road is blocked, please let me get out of the car and ask what is going on." ”

A few minutes later, the driver came back and said, "Sorry Mr. President, I'm afraid we're going to have to take a detour, there's a movie filmed here, it's called The Great Gatsby." ”

Mandosa shook his head and said, "Let's take a detour, fortunately I don't have any work schedule this morning, otherwise it would delay my work, and I won't let go of these sissies in the City of Angels." ”

The City of Angels is another name for Los Angeles in the United States, and Hollywood is located in that city.

He wasn't bluffing, and he was qualified to call Hollywood stars sissies, even the toughest tough guys in the cast couldn't compare to any boxer he managed.

Mandoza Lewis, president of the World Boxing Association, has been the old man for fifty years since the union was founded in 1967.

The predecessor of this association was the National Boxing Association of the United States, which is primarily an American body that basically controls the entire United States boxing game. Ali, Fraser, Foreman and other well-deserved champions are all from this association, and their belts are engraved with the abbreviation of the World Boxing Association, WBA.

But those good days are gone, and since 1963, when part of it became independent to form the World Boxing Council, in 1984 it was part independent to form the International Boxing Federation, and in 1988 it was partly independent to form the World Boxing Organization, the World Boxing Association has become much weaker than it used to be.

And that's not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is that the association has not had a pillar to support the façade for a long time, and with the retirement of the last super boxing champion Tyson from boxing, there has not been a superstar in the world boxing for nearly two decades.

Thinking of this, Mandosa pinched his forehead with a little headache, and only then did he realize that his skin was already so loose and his age was already so old.

Is this the end of world boxing? The old chairman looked at the Marble Villa that was gradually moving away with some melancholy, could it be that boxing is like Marble Villa, which can only be enjoyed for a while? In the end, it can only be abandoned by history?

He was not reconciled to this, thinking back to ten years ago, when boxing and boxers were so popular.

In the '90s, boxing dominated the list of high-paid sports stars, with Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson finishing first and second on the 1991 Athlete Earnings List, with other boxing champions Foreman and Razordock finishing fourth and seventh, respectively. A year earlier, in 1990, the top three on the list were dominated by boxers: Tyson, Douglas "The Saboteur" and Ray "Honey" Renard.

But now, according to Forbes' earnings last year, boxing has only made it to four of the world's top 100 highest-paid athletes, thanks to the battle of the century between Mayweather and Pacquiao, who took the top spot on the list.

In addition, there is a gap in the income of boxers, with Vladimir Klitschko, who ranks third in the industry in terms of income, only 24th in the overall list, and Miguel Cuto, who is fourth in the industry, falling to a shabby 75th!

I really can't think about these things, as long as I think about the old chairman, I want to die - what kind of world is this horse, why is there no boxing genius born?

No, there was once a boxing genius, and the old chairman had a gentle and resolute black child's face in his mind, what was that kid's name? V-Oakley, yes, that's the name, and he went to see him in person and was really full of praise for him at the time.

It's a pity that the genius was ruined by injury, and the boxer with the left lung abolished was like a phoenix with a plucked hair, and even a second-rate boxer could not compare.

Thinking in a flash, Mandoza didn't have time to think about these inconsequential things, the association needed to be reformed, including the election of the president and the changes to the boxing rules and laws, etc., which were all big things that he needed to worry about.

The car drove into the office building of the World Boxing Association, and the three letters of WBA were inlaid on the roof, still domineering.

The old man walked towards the office, and a middle-aged woman came over with a suitcase: "Mr. Lewis, someone has mailed some tapes and newspaper clippings from New Zealand, about a fighter named V. Oakley and the like, you see?" ”

Mandoza waved his hand and said, "New Zealand? That courier may have been sent by the wrong one, and their star should not have come to the WBA, but to the NFL. ”

The NFL is an abbreviation for the American Football League, which is now on the world's athlete income list, and the league dominates the list in terms of the number of athletes, and rugby is also the most popular sport in New Zealand.

The middle-aged woman said: "Okay, but it's a pity that these videotapes, the person who mailed them should be very careful, and they actually used the videotapes instead of the now popular CD or U disk, and they didn't send ...... email."

"Wait, who do you think these tapes belong to? V-Oakley? ”

"Yes."

"Then give it to me, I'll go back and see, I like to watch tapes, don't I?" The old man finally came back to his senses, the name reported by the assistant was still in his mind just in the morning, anyway, there was nothing to do in the morning, so why not watch these videos?

Two minutes later, everyone passing by the door of the chairman's office heard the old man's classic roar:

"Fack! What a punch to step on the horse! "Damn, are you on a skate?" "Hou Leixuet! This guy is a goddamn hell killer! ”

A few employees casually discussed as they passed by: "Hey, is the chairman watching Tyson's boxing match again?" "I think it's Ali's, don't you hear him keep talking about his footsteps?" "It could also be Holly, the hell killer is not a name that everyone can have......"

Before they finished speaking, the office door was pushed open, and the old chairman was flushed and panting: "Quick! Fast! Fast! Call me all the guys above the director to the conference room and tell them to hurry up! ”
