Tyson was imprisoned again, and Wang Lei could only choose another opponent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Foreman, who is once again the WBC boxing champion, doesn't want to fight Wang Lei, he wants to unify the heavyweight division again.

It's just a pity that both the new WBA champion Holyfield and the new IBF champion Riddick Bow refused to fight with Foreman.

However, the new boxing champion of the WBO, Lewis, did not refuse, but took the initiative to challenge Foreman, wanting to avenge the defeat to Foreman last time.

However, Foreman doesn't look down on Lewis, a defeated man, and he doesn't want the WBO boxing championship belt.

After thinking about it, Foreman was finally persuaded by his agent Arum to choose Wang Lei as the opponent to defend the title.

Wang Lei doesn't have a heavyweight title, but his commercial value is much higher than that of Lewis, Holyfield and Rydick Bough.

It can be said that except for Tyson, who is imprisoned again, there is no fighter in the heavyweight boxing world whose commercial value can compare to Wang Lei, even if he is Foreman.

Fighting Wang Lei, even if it is not a boxing championship, there will be countless fans willing to buy tickets to enter the stadium, and countless TV stations willing to wave money to buy broadcast rights.

This is Wang Lei's unparalleled popularity!

Competing with Wang Lei, even if it is not a boxing championship, Foreman's appearance fee can easily exceed more than 20 million or 30 million US dollars, and Arum, boxing organizations and boxers and pay TV networks can all make a lot of money. On the other hand, if you fight a boxing championship match with Lewis or Riddick Bowe and others, the stakes will not be so high, and the appearance fee that Foreman can get will be greatly reduced.

At the age of 43, Foreman, who is a four-time back-to-back heavyweight champion, no longer needs honor to prove himself.

Foreman now values money more than honor.

The $30 million appearance fee in the rematch with Tyson gave Foreman a taste of the sweetness, and he couldn't wait to get another $30 million appearance fee.

But except for Tyson, it was only possible to get so much appearance fee again by playing against Wang Lei, so Foreman gave in.

The reason why Arum persuaded Foreman to choose to play with Wang Lei was not for Wang Lei's sake, but because he was attracted by profits.

Arum is the agent of Foreman and Wang Lei, and as the agent of professional fighters, he can get a certain percentage of the profits earned by the fighters under his command. And when the two fighters under his command compete, he was able to get two shares.

That's why Arum couldn't wait to arrange a match between Wang Lei and Foreman.

After the time and place of the match between Wang Lei and Foreman were confirmed, and a pre-match press conference was held, the accident happened again.

Foreman was in a car accident!

Since retiring as a pastor in '77, Foreman has been very devout to God, going to church almost every day, rain or shine.

However, instead of blessing Forman, a devout believer, God caused him to be in a car accident on the way to church.

A sports car driven by a drunk driver collided with the car in which Foreman was sitting, resulting in serious injuries to Foreman and several broken bones.

According to the doctor, Foreman would have to wait at least three to five months for him to recover.

However, even if he recovers, he can't go to the ring to fight immediately, at least he has to recuperate for more than a year.

This means that Foreman will not be able to boxing for at least a year, and his fight with Wang Lei will naturally fall through.

Wang Lei went to visit Foreman in the hospital, and saw Foreman who was wrapped in a mummy, very speechless, and a little weak at the same time.

Foreman in the original timeline has never been in a car accident, how can he have a car accident in this life, and after he has decided to race against himself?

Could it be that he was influenced by his own reborn butterfly?

Foreman was injured, and Arum could only pick an opponent for Wang Lei again!

After consulting with Sadler, Arum contacted Holyfield's agent.

Holyfield's agent is Lou Dewar, one of America's most famous ace coaches, who also serves as an agent. As a coach, Lou Dewar's coaching ability is no less than that of Eddie Fuch and Angelo Dundee, and as an agent, Lou Dewar's ability and status are not below Arum.

Dealing with such a figure was a headache, and it took a week of negotiation with Lou Dewar to convince Lou Dewar to agree to a match between Holyfield and Wang Lei.

Because of Wang Lei's super popularity and commercial value, Holyfield's appearance fee exceeded 10 million US dollars for the first time.

Of course, the $10 million appearance fee is less than half of Wang Lei's. However, for Holyfield, who once beat Foreman and has not yet exceeded $5 million in the highest appearance fee, 10 million dollars in appearance has already made him overjoyed.

You must know that Holyfield's private life is chaotic, there are several illegitimate children to raise, and there is an urgent need to make money.

However, after a press conference was held to determine the date and location of the match between Wang Lei and Holyfield, the accident happened again.

Because of the problem of illegitimate children, Holyfield quarreled with his original wife at home, and the jealous original wife picked up scissors and stabbed Holyfield in the lower body in a fit of rage.

With Holyfield's reaction speed and ability, it was impossible for his wife to stab him, but Holyfield drank wine during dinner, and he was in a bad mood after a fight, which caused him to be a little sluggish, and as a result, his wife stabbed him in the lower abdomen with scissors, almost stabbing his offspring in the bag.

After sobering up, Holyfield was half frightened to death, and hurriedly went to the hospital, but was stitched with more than a dozen stitches, and the scissors stabbed deeply, almost cut off the vas deferens, so that Holyfield never lifted.

After Lou Dewar went to the hospital to see Holyfield's injury, he had to inform Arum that Holyfield's match with Wang Lei had been cancelled or postponed for more than half a year.

Arum was dumbfounded!

Wang Lei was also dumbfounded!

The media were shocked when they got the news!

Nima, after the Chinese kid was upgraded to the heavyweight, he turned on the "broom star" attribute, whoever wants to fight him will be unlucky!

Tyson confirmed that he was competing with a Chinese kid and was immediately imprisoned again for surname harassment!

Foreman decided to race against the Chinese kid and was immediately seriously injured in a car accident!

Holyfield decided to compete with the Chinese boy, and was immediately stabbed with scissors by his wife, and almost couldn't be a man!

Once it was an accident, twice it was a coincidence, and three times in a row is too weird!

Without saying a word to the "New York Times" that didn't deal with Wang Lei, he gave Wang Lei the nickname "Broom Star".

IBF's new boxing champion Richard Bow told the media reporters who interviewed him with "palpitations": "The Chinese kid's agent Arum also once approached my agent Newman, but fortunately Newman didn't agree at that time, otherwise I would be the next unlucky!" ”

The media reporter who interviewed him asked maliciously: "Bao, if the Chinese kid's agent comes to the door again and asks you to compete with the Chinese kid, will you agree?" ”

Riddick Bow said decisively: "I'd rather give up the IBF boxing belt than fight a Chinese kid!" ”

After seeing the interview with Riddick Bowe in the New York Times, Wang Lei's face turned green.

Nima, you don't want to compete with your brother, and your brother doesn't want to deal with you!

What upset Wang Lei was the headline used in the interview with Richard Bow in the New York Times, "Broom Star Possessed, Chinese Kid Will Not Find an Opponent After Upgrading to Heavyweight"!

This title is so vicious!

Don't think that everyone in the United States believes in science, in fact, many Americans are more superstitious than Chinese.

A strange incident like Wang Lei, where three opponents in a row all had accidents immediately after the press conference, definitely frightened many people!

Even many students in Sadler's boxing gym had strange eyes when they saw him during this time.

In the original timeline, the Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA had a well-known "center curse", and for more than 30 years, the Portland Trail Blazers' champion center and talented interior line have had tragedies one after another, resulting in few centers or interior players willing to join the Trail Blazers.

Wang Lei believes that if there is another accident, his "broom star" attribute will be as famous as the Portland Trail Blazers' "center curse", and everyone will be shocked.

Thankfully, not everyone is superstitious about this kind of thing, and WBO's new boxing champion Lennox Lewis doesn't.

After being rejected by Foreman, Lewis was depressed.

When the news of Foreman's serious injuries in the car accident came, Lewis did not gloat, but became even more depressed.

Foreman won't be able to boxing for at least a year, and in a year he'll be forty-four years old, and maybe he'll just choose to retire. At that time, it will be impossible for Lewis to seek revenge on Foreman.

In a depressed mood, Lewis happened to see the New York Times interview with Richard Bow, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked his agent to contact Wang Lei's agent, Arlum.

Lewis wants to have a fight with Wang Lei, wants to prove that he is still secondary, mainly to make money.

Wang Lei's popularity and commercial value are super high, and competing with him means making a lot of money.

Lewis's super-heavyweight boxing champion at the '88 Seoul Olympics, backed by the British Levi Group, led to his successful development in the UK. However, after coming to the United States, few people took him seriously.

Especially after being knocked out by Foreman in two rounds, few people in the professional boxing world in the United States look up to him, even if he becomes the WBO boxing champion.

As a result, Lewis's commercial value is very low, and he is an Olympic boxing champion and the new boxing champion of the WBO, but he goes to the United States to play a match for less than a million dollars.

Lewis would love to be like Tyson and Foreman, and play a game for tens or even $20 million. However, in order to achieve this condition, it is possible to fight and defeat a very popular opponent first.

Tyson was imprisoned, Foreman and Holyfield were injured, and Riddick Pow was his former defeated man, and his commercial value was not much different from his.

After thinking about it, Lewis found that Wang Lei was his most suitable opponent!

As long as he plays a game with Wang Lei, with Wang Lei's super popularity and commercial value, his appearance fee will be at least more than five million US dollars. If he can defeat Wang Lei, he can really enter the eyes of American fans, and the appearance fee for the next fight will rise.

When the time comes, if he challenges the WBC, WBA or IBF champions, it will be difficult for the opponent to refuse.

When he defeats the other party and unifies the heavyweights, not only will he surpass Tyson and Foreman in popularity, but he will also be able to easily get tens of millions or even 20 million US dollars in appearance fees.

Out of these considerations, Lewis decisively ignored Wang Lei's "broom star" attribute and asked his agent to contact Wang Lei's agent Arum.

After asking Wang Lei's opinion, Arum agreed to Lewis's challenge.

Anyway, the WBO's boxing champion belt is also a real gold belt, and Wang Lei doesn't mind adding another trophy to his collection room.

The important thing is that Wang Lei is bored and can't wait to get into the ring and have a fight. I also want to shatter the rumors of "broom stars".

Wang Lei and Lewis' bout date is set for November 15, when the 25th Olympic Games in Barcelona and the second M-1 tournament have come to an end, just in time to bring the fans' attention back to the ring.

After another press conference was held to confirm the date and location of the match against Lewis, Lewis had no incidents.

Wang Lei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, while American media outlets like the New York Times were disappointed. (To be continued.) )
