Chapter 43: Dig a hole for Leonard

I thought that I would be able to avoid the media reporters when I entered the locker room, but I didn't expect that in the end, I still didn't avoid it, and someone brought the reporters into the locker room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Bob Arlum, Wang's agent and promoter, brought reporters into the locker room, and the reporters he brought in were not ordinary media reporters, but reporters from CNN Sports. She is still a beautiful journalist with blond hair and blue eyes, a hot body, and only twenty-five years old, named Erin Andrew.

The pomp and circumstance of this beautiful reporter is not ordinary, not only is there a full-time photographer carrying the camera to follow, but also a younger assistant by her side.

CNN is an acronym for CNN, a television network founded by Ted Turner in the 80s to provide round-the-clock news programming via satellite to cable networks and satellite TV subscribers.

CNN is not as well-known as the three major CBS, NBC and ABC in the United States, nor can it be compared to HBO and ESPN, two cable television networks. But Wang Lei knew that in a dozen years, CNN would become the largest and most advanced television news network in the United States, broadcasting CNN news 24 hours a day in more than 210 countries and regions around the world.

And CNN's founder, Ted Turner, not only founded TBS, a Turner broadcaster, but also became Time magazine's Person of the Year in '91, and also became one of the super-rich people in the United States, with personal assets of nearly $5 billion.

Arum can bring a reporter from CNN Sports to interview him, and his ability is not small, and it can be regarded as more beneficial to himself.

According to Arum, Ted Turner appears to have been provoked by HBO's boss, Abraham.

Abraham struck a deal with current middleweight king Marvin Hagler when he debuted to package Hagler as a boxing star and broadcast Hagler's fights exclusively on HBO's sports channel, which led to a huge increase in viewership for HBO's sports channel. Hagler's popularity today also has a lot to do with HBO's support.

Ted Turner wanted to learn from Abraham, and originally his favorite candidate was Shug Ray Leonard, but unfortunately Leonard had already signed a contract with ESPN TV Network, plus Leonard was in his thirties, at the end of his career, and he would retire at every turn, so it was useless to sign and difficult.

After careful consideration, Ted Turner shifted his target and set his sights on the new heavyweight king Mike Tyson, but yesterday Wang Lei beat three wrestling stars with one enemy and three The news came out, and Ted Turner immediately shifted the target again, took the initiative to contact Arum, and sent CNN Sports Channel's beautiful reporter Erin Andrew to interview Wang Lei.

Arum quietly said to Wang Lei: If the interview can satisfy Ted Turner and play a wonderful performance in tonight's game, maybe he will be able to sign a contract with CNN like Hagler, and be packaged by CNN as a boxing star, both popularity and appearance fees can increase several times, and when the time comes, it will be easy to challenge the boxing champion and get tens of millions of dollars in appearance fees.

was said by Arum, Wang Lei naturally went against the norm and showed enthusiasm for Erin Andrew.

Just a two-word conversation, not only made Erin laugh, but also made Erin change his name, calling him "Ray", and he directly called the other party "Erin", acting as if he had been friends for many years.

Seeing this, Arum, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh secretly: Wang Lei, this kid, has the ability to talk to beautiful women as strong as his boxing strength!

Wait until the photographer sets up the camera and the interview begins.

Erin, who was still joking with Wang Lei, immediately restrained her smile and entered a serious work state. The speed of changing his face made Wang Lei a little unable to react.

"How did you get Rick Flair, Randy Savage, and James Helwig yesterday, King?"

As soon as he opened his mouth to ask, he beat up the three wrestling stars yesterday, but fortunately, Wang Lei had expected it, and replied calmly: "The cause of the incident is like this......

After telling what happened yesterday as it was, without the slightest falsehood, Wang Lei finally said: "To be honest, when I beat them, I didn't know who they were at all, I am not a wrestling fan, and I have never watched a wrestling match." When my coach Sadler came to me this morning with a newspaper, I found out they were wrestling stars. But I don't regret it, and I don't apologize for it. It was their fault in the first place, all three of them were thirty-year-old adults, and my friend Bill was just eighteen years old, no matter what Bill did wrong, they couldn't hit someone, or three to hit one. Bill is my classmate, but also a friend, I don't stand out for him, who stands out for him! ā€

Erin asked, "So you're not going to apologize anyway, are you?" ā€

Wang Lei said: "Unless those three guys apologize to my friend Bill first!" ā€

Erin changed the subject and said, "I'm curious how you can defeat the three of them so easily, or do you defeat three of them with one." You know, they're both wrestling stars, Rick and Randy are still champions, and they're both heavyweights, and they're both two laps bigger than you? ā€

Wang Lei laughed and said: "What's so strange about this, they are wrestlers, I am a boxer, it's normal to knock them down!" ā€

Erin's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, "You mean, wrestlers are not as strong as boxers?" ā€

Wang Lei shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is an indisputable fact!" Although the wrestling match may seem amazing and shocking, it is just to fool the layman. True insiders know that wrestling matches are just fake fights, they are just performing according to a pre-designed script. Boxing is a real competitive competition, there is no false real fight, how can you not beat a wrestler? In fact, the two are not comparable at all! Even Mr. Stallone thinks so, haven't you seen "Rocky 3" released a few years ago, didn't the boxer Rocky played by Mr. Stallone just fight a wrestling champion and beat the opponent half to death? Looks like the wrestler is a real wrestling champion, right? ā€

Erin asked, "Ray, do you know how much of a storm your words will cause when they are broadcast?" What do you do if a wrestler sees your interview and challenges you? ā€

"Challenge me?" Wang Lei laughed when he heard the words "haha": "Then I can only say that the courage of this wrestler can no longer be described as 'commendable courage', it has to be said that it is 'treating death as home'!" ā€

As soon as these words came out, both Sadler and Arum couldn't help but cover their foreheads, their faces full of helplessness. Arum even regretted bringing a CNN reporter to the interview.

Wang Lei, this kid, doesn't he speak through his brain? is so outspoken, are you really not afraid of offending people?

Irene was satisfied, and the conversation finally turned to tonight's fight: "Ray, are you confident in tonight's fight?" ā€

Wang Lei said: "Of course, for me, confidence is proportional to strength, I believe in my own strength, so I am full of confidence!" ā€

Erin said, "Do you think you can still knock out your opponent?" ā€

Wang Lei said: "When I was playing amateur boxing, I told reporters that I was the man who wanted to be the 'KO King'. Again, after becoming a professional fighter, my goal is still to be a 'knockout king'. It's my only goal to knock out my opponent every time, and if I can't do it, even if I take the lead in points, I'll lose the match! ā€

Sadler and Arum covered their foreheads again.

Erin asked, "What do you think of tonight's fight with Donnie Ladron as a cushion match, and tonight's main event is a middleweight clash between Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler?" ā€

Wang Lei thought for a while and replied: "How to say, this game is Leonard's comeback match, he dares to challenge Hagler, he must have made full preparations." But I don't think Leonard can knock Hagler down, I think they're going to fight for 12 rounds. At that time, who wins and who loses depends on the scoring judge. But no matter what the scoring judge decides, the final result will probably be debated. So if Leonard and Hagler want to really separate the winners and losers and prove to the world who is the strongest middleweight king, they will have to fight one more match! ā€

Erin asked casually, "Leonard has to play Hagler one more time to really decide the winner, right?" ā€

Wang Lei said: "You don't have to fight another game to determine the winner, if this game can knock down the opponent between the two sides, there will be no debate about the outcome of the victory." But if it turns out to be an argument points win, as I said, another fight is necessary. But if anyone refuses to fight again, it will be a winner. refuses to fight again, which means that he is afraid of the opponent and has already admitted defeat in his heart! ā€

Erin: "......"

The reason why Wang Lei talks about the game between Leonard and Hagler like this is because he wants to dig a hole for Leonard on a whim.

The match between Leonard and Hagler, known as the "Battle of the Century", is known as one of the most classic boxing matches in boxing history, but the outcome is very controversial.

After twelve rounds of fighting, Hagler was still alive and well, and it seemed that he could play another twelve rounds, but Leonard was too tired to stand up, but the result was that Leonard won by a narrow number of points.

Hagler refused to accept the game and asked for a rematch, but Leonard refused.

Hagler retired in a fit of rage, and Leonard retired again three years later, though he played just four games in three years after his controversial points win over Hagler, an average of only one game a year. And after he retired, he didn't come back again until '97, only one fight and was knocked out by his opponent for five rounds and then retired, this time it was a complete retirement.

Such repeated retirement and comeback made Wang Lei feel very unhappy, so Wang Lei tried to dig a pit for Leonard.

As soon as it turns out at the end of the bout that the result is exactly what he expected, with a 12-round disputed points win and Hagler making a request for a rematch, Leonard will have to consider declining the rematch.

If he really refused, it confirmed Wang Lei's statement, he was afraid of Hagler, and he had already admitted defeat to Hagler in his heart!

It's unbearable!

If Leonard accepts the rematch, Wang Lei, the reborn butterfly, will affect the fate of Leonard and Hagler, and it is difficult to say whether Hagler will retire again.

The important thing is that when Wang Lei wins the welterweight boxing belt, he will have the opportunity to challenge Leonard or Hagler to prove his strength while gaining more popularity and more appearance fees!

As for whether he can win against Leonard and Hagler, Wang Lei really hasn't thought about this problem!
