When Wang Hao reached out to shake hands with this middle-aged white man, he remembered the identity of the other party.

The two met in Kiev, Ukraine, more than two years ago, when Wang Hao had just won the gold medal at the World Junior Boxing Championships, and the white man claimed to be a partner of the German Rheinland Boxing Club, took the initiative to communicate with Wang Hao, and left Wang Hao a business card.

and promised Wang Hao that if he intends to join the Rhine Boxing Club, he will give Wang Hao very superior treatment.

However, Wang Hao was still a young boxer at that time, although he longed for professional boxing in his heart, but the timing was very inappropriate for Wang Hao, so Wang Hao refused the other party's invitation, and did not contact the other party again.

"I'm the owner of the German Rhine Boxing Club, just call me William!" The middle-aged white man was still thinking when he saw Wang Hao, knowing that Wang Hao might have forgotten him, he introduced himself again very politely, "It's a pleasure to see you again!" ”

"I'm glad to meet you too!" Wang Hao and the other party's hands were firmly clasped together.

Germans like to shake hands with a lot of force, and shake hard, can hold for a long time, the longer the handshake, the greater the force, the more cherished the relationship with the other party.

Wang Hao felt that the other party should have used all his strength to shake hands with him, and kept shaking hands, Wang Hao had no choice but to hold the other party's hand.

Wang Hao remembers that more than two years ago, when William recruited himself, he still claimed to be one of the partners of the Rheinland Boxing Club, and now he claims to be the owner, and it is obvious that William is mixing well in the sport of boxing.

And this shows that William is very careful in running boxing, otherwise he would not have improved so fast, you must know that there are many famous boxing promoters and clubs in Europe.

"Mr. Wang Hao! I learned you're playing the World Boxing Championships in Hamburg, so this should be your first time competing in an international adult boxing tournament! William continued, "Congratulations on making it to the Final Four! I believe that the champion of this year's World Championships is likely to be you! The International Boxing Federation is underestimating you by placing you only 23rd in the 64kg category! ”

Wang Hao secretly said that this William knows himself very well, and he actually knows that it is the first time for him to participate in an international adult boxing competition, and he also knows his current results, Wang Hao knows that William should have put a lot of thought into himself.

"Since the last time I saw you, my personal career, as well as that of the Rhine Boxing Club, which is already the most well-known boxing club on the European continent and the most successful organization in promoting the competition, has developed significantly." William continued.

"You just saw that Nassim Hamad's featherweight title defense and Vitaly Klitschko's title challenge were promoted by us, so how was it a success?" William smiled and continued, "Even though we only sold half of the tickets in person, that's a staggering number for a stadium of 100,000 people like Werner March, and with the cost of the game's television broadcast, all of the sales for this game can exceed $40 million." ”

"The two World Boxing Championships, whether they are boxing champions or challengers, have more than one million dollars in appearance fees." William continued, apparently trying his best to tell Wang that the Rhine Boxing Club was strong.

Wang Hao also nodded when he heard what William said.

A boxing match, which is not held in the United States, can still sell 50,000 or 60,000 live tickets, which is indeed a very dazzling number.

The appearance fee of the Champion Challenge can exceed one million US dollars, Wang Hao thinks it is okay, which is a good number for Hamed's challenger, but it is a normal number for the two boxing champions and Vitaly Klitschko as a heavyweight challenger.

Of course, William said that more than a million, Wang Hao knew that for Nassim Hamad and Hebby Hyde, it should be at the level of millions.

From William's narration, Wang Hao also felt the strength of the Rhine Boxing Club, which was indeed very good, and Wang Hao knew that William said so much, and he paid so much attention to himself, so he naturally wanted to pull himself into the Rhine Boxing Club.

And Wang Hao himself actually has a plan to join European and American professional boxing clubs at this time, because next year is the Olympic Games, Wang Hao will definitely enter the field of professional boxing after next year's Olympic Games, and it is impossible to play another Olympic Games or World Championships.

Although after the Olympic Games next year, Wang Hao's age is still very young, almost the youngest boxer in adult boxing, for boxers in the system, they will often fight another World Championships and the Olympic Games.

But for Wang Hao, the Olympics and the World Championships are all for the future of professional boxing gilded, just like college students to get a good job to get a good university, Wang Hao participated in the Olympics and the World Championships to make his professional boxing work smoother, and to increase experience and hone skills.

If Wang Hao plays well enough at this year's World Championships and next year's Olympic Games, there will be no need to continue to play amateur boxing, and Wang Hao will not hesitate to enter the field of professional boxing.

Therefore, Wang Hao is now different from more than two years ago, and he is already thinking about choosing a professional boxing club and promoter.

And according to Wang Hao's plan, Wang Hao's professional boxing career is likely to start in Europe first.

On the one hand, this is because many excellent professional fighters first played in Europe and then landed in the United States, such as Wang Hao's previous Golovkin and Vasily Lomachenko, and on the other hand, Wang Hao also considered Huang Yueying's factor.

If nothing else, Huang Yueying will study at the University of Munich next year, and for the continuation of the relationship between the two, Wang Hao will also choose Europe as his professional boxing venue.

In this way, the remaining question is to choose a good professional boxing club and a good promoter in Europe.

Undoubtedly, the Rheinland Boxing Club is a pretty good choice, because the Rheinland Boxing Club integrates boxer training and event promotion, and can also save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, more than two years ago, the Rhine Boxing Club has promised to give itself a very generous treatment, I believe that after more than two years, their strength is improving, and the Rhine Boxing Club is also improving, Wang Hao believes that the current William will only give himself more treatment, not less.

However, Wang Hao definitely didn't make a decision so quickly, now everything is William's words, and Wang Hao has to inspect the Rhine Boxing Club before making a decision.

William watched Wang Hao's expression change, and continued: "There are more big-level fighters in our club now, and there are few small- and medium-sized fighters, you must know that in classes like lightweight and middleweight, their popularity and commercial value are not much worse than those of heavyweight!" ”

"The lightweight and middleweight divisions are fast and have a knockout rate. Now in the world professional boxing arena, the market energy of this piece is almost equal to that of the heavyweight! ”

William continued.

"But unfortunately, we still have world-class fighters like heavyweights, and Vitaly Klitschko is the fighter of our club! But the world-class fighters in the lightweight and middleweight divisions are almost all in the United States and Mexico, as well as some small countries such as Puerto Rico and Costa Rica, and we are very short of them on the European continent. ”

William's words gave Wang Hao a very important message, that is, Vitaly Klitschko is a fighter at the Rhine Boxing Club, which is information that Wang Hao did not have before.

Although Wang Hao and Vitaly Klitschko have a good personal relationship, because Wang Hao did not ask Vitaly Klitschko about the club where he served before, Wang Hao never knew that Vitaly Klitschko was actually a fighter at the Rhine Boxing Club.

In this way, Wang Hao knew that he wanted to know about the Rhine Boxing Club, so he would just learn about it from Vitaly Klitschko, which would save a lot of trouble.

As for William's statement about the lack of lightweight and middleweight fighters in Europe, Wang Hao, who has already experienced the previous life, naturally understands it quite well.

In the last life, from the earliest middleweight four kings in the nineties, to the Mexican Three Musketeers, to Mayweather and Pacquiao, except for Pacquiao who is Asian, almost all of them are Americans.

Although there are two or three famous lightweight or middleweight fighters in Europe, such as Nassim Hamed and Ricky Hatton, they are both British, and they are not as influential and powerful as the middleweight four kings and the Mexican three musketeers.

Needless to say, Nassim Hamed was beaten and retired by Barrera, and Rich Hatton was a British packaged parallel product, and when he landed in the United States, everyone found out that he was actually swimming naked.

Ricky Hatton was brutally knocked out by Mayweather and then Pacquiao, and returned to his home country in England.

Therefore, Wang Hao actually understands William's saying that they lack excellent lightweight or middleweight fighters, and Wang Hao is very sincere to William for being able to say it so frankly, not afraid that he will ask for a high price because of this.

William finally said: "Mr. Wang Hao! We are in great need of a good mid-level fighter like you, please join us, we will provide you with the best training and living conditions, and in terms of basic treatment, I will also give you a treatment that is far beyond the level of the average fighter in our club. ”

Wang Hao nodded, he felt William's sincerity, but Wang Hao hadn't made a decision so quickly, he still had to think about it, especially to learn from Vitaly Klitschko about the actual situation of the Rhine Boxing Club.

Wang Hao replied: "I don't have a way to give you an answer to this matter at present, I will at least wait until the end of this World Championships before I can give you an exact information on whether to join." ”

William nodded, he knew that Wang Hao definitely still had time to think about, William replied: "Well, you think about it, and look forward to seeing you again after you finish the World Championships." In terms of treatment, I can tell you in advance, if you are willing to join the Rheinland Boxing Club, we are willing to give you a basic annual salary of 150,000 US dollars, and we will cover the cost of room and board, competitions, coaching and training! Then we can give you the full appearance fee of the game, and we can also give you a superior share of the income from TV broadcasts and tickets! ”

Hearing William's story, Wang Hao once again felt the sincerity of the Rhine Boxing Club.

The basic annual salary of 150,000 yuan is already equivalent to the level of 1 million yuan, which is undoubtedly an astronomical amount in China in the mid-90s, when most workers in China only received a monthly salary of a few hundred yuan.

And for the full amount of the appearance fee for the game to the boxer, this treatment is also very rare, which shows that the Rhine Boxing Club team is thirsty for Wang Hao's money.

You must know that a professional boxer, under normal circumstances, his appearance fee is shared with the coaching team, but Wang Hao's entire appearance fee belongs to himself, and naturally the part of the coaching team is borne by the Rheinland Boxing Club.

Moreover, based on the level of the basic annual salary and the level of non-sharing of appearance fees, Wang Hao knows that the broadcast and ticket sharing given by the Rhine Boxing Club team must also be very competitive.

Wang Hao replied with a smile: "Mr. William! Thank you for your trust, I have received all your messages, I will consider them carefully! ”

Wang Hao stretched out his hand and shook William's hand again.

William once again held Wang Hao's right hand vigorously and shook it for a long time, showing William's attention to Wang Hao.

At Vitaly Klitschko's celebration that day, Wang Hao naturally learned about the situation of the Rhine Boxing Club from Vitaly Klitschko in time.

Vitaly Klitschko spoke highly of the Rhine Boxing Club, telling Wang Hao that the Rhine Boxing Club is the best in continental Europe in terms of hardware facilities, coaching team, and the level of operation of the competition.

In the whole of Europe, only Sky Sports in the UK and one or two of its partners are at a level above the Rheinland Boxing Club.

Vitaly Klitschko himself is also very satisfied with the cooperation with the Rhine Boxing Club in the past two years, and Vitaly Klitschko can gain high respect in the Rhine Boxing Club as long as the fighters are strong enough.

Wang Hao also asked about some questions about the contract with the Rhine Boxing Club, because Wang Hao was worried about whether there would be some harsh contract conditions, because although Wang Hao chose to enter the professional boxing field in Europe, he would definitely enter the United States after a few years.

Wang Hao's plan is to follow the same path as Golovkin and Vasily Lomachenko, Europe first and then the United States.

In this regard, Vitaly Klitschko also gave Wang Hao a reassuring answer.

Vitaly Klitschko told Wang Hao that the Rhine Boxing Club usually signs a five-year contract with a fighter, and if the contract period is gone, there will be a certain amount of compensation, but this compensation will not be very large, usually within 300,000 US dollars.

Hearing the information provided to him by Vitaly Klitschko, Wang Hao was also a lot relieved, and his good impression of the Rhine Boxing Club also improved a lot, and the liability for breach of contract compensation of the Rhine Boxing Club is not high.

Of course, if Wang Hao signs a five-year contract with the Rheinland Boxing Club, he will try to finish five years, five years is enough time for Wang Hao to fight 20 matches, and if he can successfully have several boxing titles at one or two levels, it is just the right result for landing in the United States, and Huang Yueying also graduated from the University of Munich at that time.

After attending Vitaly Klitschko's celebrations, Wang Hao returned to Hamburg early the next morning after spending the night in Berlin, where he had to spend the rest of his time preparing for the match against Jill Vages.

When Wang Hao returned to the training venue of the Chinese national team, he found that an important acquaintance was already waiting for him.
