Chapter 316: A Chance Encounter with a Big Mac
As long as he wasn't preparing for the fight in the training camp, Gao Yuan would take 30 minutes every night to browse the major martial arts websites so that he could keep up with some of the latest boxing trends, so he quickly saw the news of Sosa's "half-day tour of Nanshan" during the day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is not the end, Sosa uploaded a video again: he pointed to a sandbag with Gao Yuan's portrait printed on it, and said proudly: Look at the sports equipment I ordered, are Gao Yuan's eyes wide? Isn't the expression angry? Hehe, I have to fight his head every day, and I can fight as much as I want, which adds special motivation and fun to my life, and makes people feel happy!
The face of the high boxer king turned cloudy, and a layer of black gas was enveloped in an instant, and he looked at it, and suddenly grinned again. Nima, don't look at Sosa's age, he's still a child who hasn't grown up, it's really naΓ―ve......
At noon the next day, after Gao Yuan rested, he quickly took a plane to MGM Las Vegas to attend a celebratory reception for the filming of an HBO documentary. As a world champion, he naturally has a lot of activities to attend, and he has tried to minimize those unnecessary nonsense occasions, but he has to go to this cocktail party, because the name of the boxing documentary is called "A Generation of Kings".
Who else can enjoy such a high reputation in the current heavyweight boxing world? The great "Butterfly Dance Bee Sting" Muhammad Ali, "Fireworks" Joe Fraser, "The Devil" George Foreman! That's right, "A Generation of Kings" is a boxing legend filmed with the three of them as the protagonists.
Ali was defeated by Frazier, Fraser was defeated by Foreman, Foreman was defeated by Ali, and Ali beat Fraser twice...... The grievances and entanglements between them have lasted for more than 20 years, and it is simply a thrilling history of blood and tears in the boxing world, which is enough to make future generations recall and admire. HBO was willing to spend a lot of money on this documentary, which shows that in addition to making crazy money, they also did something commendable.
The night was filled with guests and stars at the MGM Grand Hotel: Ali, Fraser, Foreman, Norton, Holmes, Holyfield, Bau, Moore, Donkin, Arum, Old Dewar, Atlas, Lane...... Nearly 100 people from all walks of life in the world's famous boxing world gathered, and even more than 20 seniors over 70 years old came here!
Gao Yuan walked in it, looking at the familiar faces, it felt quite unreal! After seven years of rebirth, I actually mixed in with them, enough to be qualified to sit on an equal footing, it was really a dream!
Richard, president of HBO, said emotionally: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a power that is timeless, there is a force that inspires people to forge ahead, and it has a glorious name, it is called boxing. We are very honored to be able to record the immortal and glorious epic of the three giants of the great boxing champions Ali, Fraser and Foreman, for future generations to commemorate and remember, this is the most meaningful thing, thank you for coming......"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Everyone applauded.
Immediately afterwards, Fraser and Foreman both took the stage to speak, and due to the health of boxing champion Ali, his daughter wrote all the speeches for him. After the guests finished speaking, they immediately officially entered the free cocktail party, where people gathered in groups of three or two in pairs to talk and chat, and the picture was very warm.
Tonight's absolute protagonists Ali, Fraser, and Forman were surrounded by many guests to reminisce about the old days, and the stars were holding the moon, showing that their status was extremely lofty.
Gao Yuan took a casual look and found an interesting thing: boxing champion Fraser and Ali did not communicate during the whole process, and they didn't even make eye contact!
When Ali was still healthy, he was the most famous "King of Broken Mouths" and "King of Trash Talk" in heavyweight boxing, nicknamed "Louisville Cannon Barrel", he called Foreman "a gorilla that can't move", Fraser is a "stupid fisherman in the middle of nowhere", with deep skills, he comes when he opens his mouth, and his poisonous tongue doesn't know how many opponents he has hurt, and Fraser, who fought Ali three times, naturally became the worst one among them.
According to records, after Ali lost the first battle, the two boxing champions met to start a rematch, and as soon as they sat in the live broadcast room, Ali fired at Fraser first, mocking to his heart's content.
"Hey man, you never really hurt me last time, even though you got lucky to win me. I've only been in the hospital for a little over a week and you've been lying there for a month, which means that I'm actually winning! β
Fraser belongs to the kind of honest man, how can he fight him?
He responded: "I'm just resting. β
Ali scoffed, "Who would run to the hospital to rest?" Are you stupid when we are? Don't make us laugh like a fool, your ability to lie is pitiful......"
Well, Ali's mouth was like a machine gun, and he was so sneering that he couldn't tell him, and he roared and rushed over to shove and shove, almost fighting. was also tragically "ravaged" by Ali's tongue and iron fist in both directions, after more than 20 years, Foreman has long let go of all grievances, and Fraser is obviously still angry.
(Note: Ali specifically apologized to Fraser in his autobiography for his "open-mouthedness" as a young man, and Fraser did not decide to forgive Ali until his deathbed.) Whether it is boxing skills or "off-board moves" to harass opponents, Ali is a master among masters. οΌ
Gao Yuan chatted with Senior Magistrate Judge Ryan for a few words, and turned around to run into "Big Mac" Richard Bough.
Bao looked him in the eye and said, "Man, I've formalized my list of opponents for the next fight, and if I can win, then my ranking will be back in the top five in the world immediately." β
Gao Yuan said: "Well, that's good, I wish you success." β
Expectation appeared on Bao's face: "Do you remember what you once said?" β
Gao Yuan said: "Which sentence?" β
Bao Dao: "You promised to give me a chance to challenge the throne!" β
Gao Yuan Zhengse said: "I have never forgotten, and when I finish defending my title, I will definitely put it into action." However, it will not be until March or April next year at the earliest. β
Bao Ru was relieved and said: "Very good, you are finally a trustworthy warrior." β
Gao Yuandao: "Of course. β
Strength is far greater than fame, "Cinderella" Riddick Bowco is really sad enough, since he lost the belt to Holyfield, he has been looking for a chance to make a comeback, but it is a pity that none of the latecomers who have the crown in hand, Selden, McCall, and Tyson, are willing to fight him, and Tyson even rejected his huge offer of 50 million US dollars, resulting in him finally having to go to a small organization like the WBO to barely live.
Bao continued: "My team will be co-sponsoring the bid for the title fight with Mr. Dewar, and it is expected that the honorarium will not be less than $25 million, together with the organizers MGM and HBO! It's fair and in line with who you are now. β
Gao Yuan said expressionlessly: "Well, it's very reasonable. β
As one of the heavyweight giants, Bao's influence is by no means below Lewis, and he is an American, once the "battle of the giants" starts, the income will be astronomical, and Gao Yuan will be completely comfortable with 25 million.
Bao stretched out a giant palm: "Then we reached a verbal agreement first?" β
Gao Yuan held it tightly and said, "Okay." β
Bao suddenly said meaningfully, "Man, do you know my current weight? β
Without waiting for him to answer, Bao pulled his hand and turned to leave: "Two hundred and forty-four pounds......"
Gao Yuan was stunned!
Bao fought Golota overweight, reaching more than 250 pounds, resulting in incomparable clumsiness and loss of speed; Golota lost too much weight in World War II, only two hundred and thirty-five pounds, which led to an increase in agility and a lack of strength, and both battles were very ugly; The fact that he's rarely maintained such a modest level of weight this offseason only shows one thing: Bao has been more disciplined lately, pays attention to exercise, and hasn't eaten nonsense.
Could it be that a miracle happened? The Prodigal Son Turned Back?
Gao Yuan stared at his back, and the battle intent rose in his eyes! After slacking off for many years, Bao will definitely not be able to return to the top, but he would rather beat a focused and serious Bao than ravage a self-deprecating garbage......
