There are many cases in history where die-hard spectators of competitive sports have gone crazy because they were dissatisfied with the athletes and teams they support have lost their matches, leading to riot attacks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only professional boxing, American football, basketball and soccer, but also sports have had incidents of crowd members going crazy and causing riots.

Among these sports, football is the most prominent, and Arum remembers the "Heysel massacre" that took place in the European Champions Cup a few years ago, when 39 people were said to have died and more than 600 injured.

The most terrifying was the worst football violence in history that occurred in the 13th Football World Cup in 69. Because of the victory or defeat of the two football teams of El Salvador and Honduras, not only led to riots by fans, innocent people continued to die, but also triggered war attacks, and the final death toll was as high as 3,000. El Salvador and Honduras have also severed diplomatic relations as a result.

While Arum doesn't expect a Detroit boxing match to be as serious as a football riot, everything is just in case.

If it really happens, the consequences are definitely not something he can afford.

Arum wanted to object, but thinking of the huge profit brought by 80,000 people buying tickets to enter the venue, he could not say anything against it.

Arum is a manager and promoter who takes care of his fighters, but he is also a profit-oriented businessman and even more of a Jew.

Marx said: If capital has 50 percent profit, it will take risks; If there is a 100% profit, it dares to trample on all the laws of the world; If there is a profit of three hundred percent, it dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.

If the boxing match between Wang Lei and Hearns really has 80,000 viewers who buy tickets to watch it, plus the broadcast fees of several cable pay TV stations, the profit will definitely be more than 300 percent.

Although Arum is not limited to trampling on the law because of this, he dares to take risks.

For the sake of the profits of Wang Lei's boxing match with Hernes, he was willing to take risks.

What's more, as Stuward said, fans don't necessarily riot or spark violent attacks.

What if it's Wang Lei who loses?

In case Wang Ray is defeated by Hearns, there will be no reason for Detroit fans to riot!

Thinking of this, Arum made a decision, did not object to Wang Lei to call the bodyguards, went out to call Stuward, and agreed to arrange the location of the game at Ford's Stadium in Detroit.

After the date and location of the match were confirmed, Arum and Stuward held a press conference the next day.

The press conference took place in Las Vegas.

More than 300 reporters from more than 300 media outlets across the United States rushed to Las Vegas and were thrilled to learn that Wang Lei was going to defend his middleweight title against Hearns on November 30 in Detroit, his home city.

"King, why did you agree to go to Detroit to compete against Hernes, don't you know that Detroit is the capital of crime, and has the highest crime rate in any major city in the United States?"

The first to ask questions was a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, and it was obvious that he was directed at Wang Lei.

The reporter's question caused Hernes to be dissatisfied, and anyone who heard someone say that his home city was a crime capital would be upset.

Even if people are telling the truth.

It's just that the reporter didn't pay attention to Hernes's dissatisfied eyes at all, didn't bother to look at him, just stared at Wang Lei, waiting for Wang Lei to answer the question.

As for Stuward, who was also born in Detroit, he sat there expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard the questions of the Los Angeles Times reporter.

Wang Lei glanced at Hearns and coughed dryly before replying: "I'm going to Detroit to play against Hearns, and I'll be back as soon as the game is over." Whether Detroit has a high crime rate or not is none of my business! ”

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked, "Aren't you worried about encountering criminals and gangsters in Detroit?" I've heard that violent crime in Detroit happens tens of thousands of times a year! ”

Hernes' face became even more unsightly when he heard this.

Wang Lei replied: "I'm not afraid of criminals and gangsters, don't forget that I am a boxing champion, and I also have bodyguards, and my bodyguards have gun licenses!" ”

The Los Angeles Times reporter wanted to ask again, but the press officer didn't give him a chance and asked another reporter to ask by name.

Coincidentally, Simon Bell, a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, was named and asked, "Wang, I've heard that the Detroit fans see Hernes as a hero or an idolatro, and if you defeat their idol in front of them, aren't you afraid that they will riot and you won't be able to go back to San Francisco?" ”

Hernes's already dark face suddenly darkened.

Wang Lei glanced at Hearns a little amusedly, and replied, "I believe that Detroit fans should not be so irrational. But if they were so irrational and rioted just because I defeated Hernes, I would have been able to get out safely. Last year, I played against Duran in Panama City, so didn't I go back home safely? ”

"But ......"

Simon Bell wanted to ask again, but he had barely said two words when he was suddenly interrupted by Hearns grabbing the microphone: "No, however, what you are worried about will never happen." You know why? Because I will defeat Wang Lei, as long as I defeat Wang Lei, there will be no riot! ”

Simon Bell was stunned for a moment, and then secretly rejoiced in his heart, and asked according to Hernes's words: "Do you mean that if you defeat Wang Lei, there will be no riot, and if you lose to Wang Lei, the riot will happen?" ”

"You ......" Hearns didn't expect to be so opposed to Simon Bell that he was so angry that he almost wanted to hit someone.

However, he remembered that it was a press conference, suppressed his impulse, and just pointed at Simon Bell and said, "You're messing around, and I refuse to answer any of your questions!" ”

I didn't ask you in the first place!

Simon Bell muttered in his heart, and was about to ask Wang Lei another question. But the press officer chose a reporter from another media outlet.

This reporter is a reporter for The New York Times.

The New York Times has a bit of a bad relationship with Wang Lei because of Ben Wrightson, and basically does not go to Wang Lei. But the reporter didn't know whether he wanted to provoke a conflict or what, so he actually asked Hearns: "Hearns, how do you think you can defeat Wang Lei?" You know, Wang Lei defeated Leonard and Barkley, and you lost to these two in succession? ”

Hearns' black face twitched, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Boxing matches can't be counted like this, otherwise we wouldn't have to compete again." Barkley beat me by accident, and I'll beat him easily in another fight. As for Leonard, he was only twenty-five years old when he defeated me, and he was at the peak of his strength, and he was thirty-three years old when he lost to Wang Lei......"

A New York Times reporter interrupted Hearns: "Are you saying Leonard is old?" But you seem to be thirty-one years old, only two years younger than Leonard, don't you think you're old too? You must know that Wang Lei is only twenty years old! ”

Hearing this, Hearns glared at the reporter with murderous eyes, and replied through gritted teeth: "My strength is at its peak, and it's still very early to get old!" ”

The press officer noticed that something was wrong, and quickly re-named a reporter to ask a question.

The reporter named was the Chicago Tribune, and he asked with bad intentions: "Mr. Hearns, may I ask you, if you are defeated by Wang Lei and the Detroit fans riot because of this, can you stop it?" ”

Hearns said angrily: "Their riot is my, why should I stop it?" ”

The reporter said: "Does it mean that you don't deny that you will lose to Wang Lei?" ”

"Who said I would lose to Wang Lei!" Hearns was so angry that he scolded: "Do you have in your head, will you talk to you?" ”

Hearns suddenly burst into foul language, causing an uproar among the reporters in the audience.

The reporter of the Chicago Tribune, who had angered Hernes, looked excited, didn't care that he was being scolded, and continued to provoke: "Then why did you ask Wang Lei to go to Detroit to compete with you?" If you don't go to your home city, don't you have the confidence to defeat Wang Lei? ”

Hernes's eyes bulged out with anger when he heard this, but before he could open his mouth to refute, he heard Stuward answer for him: "You misunderstood, this reporter, I proposed the fight in Detroit, I just wanted Hearns to contribute a wonderful fight to the fans of our hometown city, and stimulate Detroit's sluggish economy in recent years, no other purpose!" ”

Stuward was not an ordinary man, his eloquence was not comparable to that of Hearns, and when he spoke, the reporter of the Chicago Tribune could not ask any more questions, and sat down very unwillingly.

The press officer again named a journalist to ask a question.

The reporter, from the Boston Tribune, ignored Hearns and instead asked Wang Lei, "Wang, are you confident that you can defeat Hearns?" ”

"Of course!"

"How many rounds do you think you can beat him?"

"Ten rounds at most!"

As soon as these words came out, Hearns became angry again, he stood up suddenly, glared at Wang Lei, and said, "Yellow boy, what did you say?" ”

As soon as he heard what Hernes called him, Wang Lei was immediately very displeased, and he also stood up and glared: "I will defeat you in ten rounds at most, what's wrong?" ”

Hernes said angrily, "Ten rounds, yellow-skinned boy, I only need five rounds to defeat you believe it or not?" ”

Wang Lei looked disdainful: "Who wouldn't brag, if you really have the strength, you can still lose to a garbage boxer like Barkley?" ”

The hapless Barkley lay down and was shot.

Hearns was furious, rushed to Wang Lei's front and pressed his head against him and said, "Yellow boy, do you have a kind of repeat?" ”

Wang Lei pushed away Hearns's head with a slap: "Stay away from me, do you know if you have bad breath?" ”

Hearns couldn't bear it anymore, and with a slash of his right hand, he smashed a punch into Wang Lei's face.

Wang Lei reacted very quickly and dodged the punch, and at the same time punched Hernes in the stomach.

Because it was a naked fist, the impact was not comparable to that of boxing gloves, and Hernston was beaten to the point of bending over.

It's up to the fight!

The media reporters in the audience were all excited, and kept pressing the shutter of the camera to take pictures, and the flash flashed non-stop.

The faces of the two agents, Arum and Stuward, changed drastically, and they hurriedly instructed the security guards present: "Quick, stop them ......"

One of the nearest security guards pounced, only to be knocked away by a punch from a straightened body.

Then I heard a "bang", and Hearns, who had just knocked the security guard away, was punched in the face by Wang Lei and fell down on the spot.

The scene suddenly became even more chaotic! (To be continued.) )
