Since Las Vegas began to introduce the business model of "casino boxing" in 1976 and cooperated with the American pay television networks HBO and ESPN, the atmosphere of boxing has gradually flourished, which has threatened the status of New York's Medique Square Garden, which has been known as the "mecca of boxing" for the past 80 years, and gradually moved closer to the status of the center and new holy place of professional boxing in the world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For a professional boxer, being able to fight a fight in Las Vegas, especially if it is broadcast on a pay-TV network in the United States, is not only lucky but also quickly increases popularity, and has a profound impact on the future of the fighter.

Wang Lei was lucky enough to sign Bob Arum to a contract, otherwise his first professional fight would not have been scheduled to Las Vegas. Although it was only a four-round match, the main event was a title fight between Tyson and Trevor Burbick, which was the starting point for Tyson's future dominance in the heavyweight division, and it was hugely influential. In addition, there is an HBO pay TV network broadcast, and the audience can reach tens of millions at the minimum, and Wang Lei, who plays the mat game, will also become famous and increase exposure.

As long as Wang Lei performs well and leaves a deep impression in the hearts of tens of millions of viewers, the appearance fee for the next game will be able to rise, and eventually reach the level of millions of dollars.

And Wang Lei's appearance fee for this first professional boxing match is only a mere $10,000.

This is still due to the fact that he is the champion of last year's "National Golden Glove Boxing Tournament" and the champion of this year's "National Youth Olympic Boxing Championship" and "World Amateur Boxing Championship".

You know, the average professional fighter basically only has a few hundred or a few thousand dollars in appearance fees for their first fight.

……

When they came to Las Vegas, Wang Leixian and Sadler went to the Nevada State Sports Commission.

According to the rules of professional boxing, he must have another detailed medical examination before the fight.

The content of the physical examination includes not only weighing weight and urine testing, but also blood drawing, blood pressure measurement, heart, brain, bones and body balance, etc., almost a full body physical examination.

The reason why the inspection is so strict is because the Nevada Athletic Commission takes the safety of professional boxing matches extremely seriously and does not want a repeat of the "Golden Nine Incident" of a few years ago.

Fortunately, Wang Lei's physical examination was completely passed.

After meeting with Bob Arum, Arum arranged for Wang Lei and the others to stay at the Caesars Palace Hotel.

Caesars Palace is one of the largest hotels in Las Vegas, with a capacity of nearly 20,000 spectators in its underground venue, where most of the professional boxing matches held in Las Vegas for more than a decade have been held.

In Wang Lei's memories of his previous life, it seems that it was not until six years later that the venue for the professional boxing match in La Vegasgas was transferred to the MGM Grand Hotel when the MGM Grand Hotel, located in MGM Plaza, which claimed to be the largest, most luxurious, and most roomed hotel in the world, was completed.

Caesars Palace is currently the entertainment hub of Las Vegas, with cabarets, bars, nightclubs, swimming pools, movie theaters, casinos, shopping malls and fitness centers, as well as circus shows and celebrity concerts.

If Wang Lei stayed alone near the Caesars Palace Hotel, he would definitely enjoy all the entertainment activities in the hotel first.

It's a pity that he came with coach Sadler, and Brian Neeson, the "bodyguard" appointed by his grandfather, followed him inch by inch, and he had to agree to play anything he wanted.

Casinos, bars, nightclubs and dance halls are not available, and Wang Lei is not interested in shopping in the mall, and the only places he can go to play are swimming pools and movie theaters.

Wang Lei naturally knows how to swim, and he practices boxing with Sadler, and he does not practice less swimming. According to Sadler, swimming strengthens the heart and lungs and is good for boxing matches.

But Wang Lei didn't want to go swimming, even though he knew that there were many beautiful women in bikinis in the pool. Because to go to the pool, Nissen is sure to follow.

Having to wear swim trunks in the swimming pool, being stared at by a forty-year-old man who was only wearing swim trunks, Wang Lei felt awkward no matter how he thought about it, not to mention bikini beauties, even if he was a naked beauty, he would not feel comfortable looking at it.

So Wang Lei could only honestly stay in the hotel room to watch TV, or go to the fitness center with Sadler to train.

Although I was used to watching high-definition and high-quality American dramas in my previous life, it was awkward to watch small TVs and shoddy TV programs after being reborn, but fortunately, the TVs in Caesars Palace Hotel are all pay TV channels, although the TV is not a plasma flat-screen TV, but it is also a large color TV, so that Wang Lei can barely watch it, and it is better than nothing.

Thankfully, the next day, Bob Arum brought him benefits.

A red-haired beauty named Amanda is tall and fit, with a convex and backward curve, long and round legs, and a very sweet smile.

Don't get me wrong, Amanda was not found by Arum to warm Wang Lei's bed, but Wang Lei's masseur.

Professional athletes generally hire a masseur to massage and massage the stiff muscles during the competition, so as to achieve the purpose of relaxing the body and mind and playing in the best condition. This is especially true for professional boxers, as both top-notch professional boxers and boxing champions have a certified top-notch masseur to massage them before the start of the fight.

Sadler originally planned to find one for Wang Lei, but the price of a certified first-class masseur is expensive, Wang Lei as an amateur boxer can't get much money except for the championship bonus, and Sadler's boxing gym has no balance, so he has not been invited.

Fortunately, Ouyang Ming understands massage, and the skills of traditional Chinese medicine massage are no worse than those of professionally certified masseurs, so every time before going on the field, Ouyang Ming massages Wang Lei to relax.

Sadler saw that Ou Yangming was doing well, so he had no plans to find another masseur for Wang Lei. But Arum doesn't think so.

Arum is a promoter who is very responsible for his fighters, and after signing a contract with Wang Lei, he found that Wang Lei did not have a professional masseur, and after asking about the situation, he actually found one for him.

Although Wang Lei didn't think that Amanda's massage skills would be better than Ou Yangming, he would not stupidly refuse the benefits sent to the door, so he lay on the bed and let Amanda try it.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, let Amanda give him a massage, Wang Lei feels more relaxed and comfortable, and even the senses of sight and smell are very enjoyable.

It is clear that this is the reason why the same sex repels and the opposite sex attracts!

Wang Lei decisively praised Amanda's skills and agreed to let her be her own full-time masseur in the future.

Ou Yangming didn't care about this, Arum was very happy, and left Amanda to Wang Lei: "Lei, Amanda will be your full-time masseuse in the future, and your salary will also be in charge of her." Amanda is a certified first-class masseur, her monthly salary is 3,500 US dollars, remember to pay her salary on time every month, she has a child to raise! ”

With a monthly salary of $3,500 and a child to raise?

The corners of Wang Lei's eyes twitched when he heard this.

Nima, brother's appearance fee is only 10,000 US dollars, and you take 20% of it, and you have to pay Sadler's coaching fees, and after deducting taxes, there is not much money left. Spend another $3,500, won't my brother become a poor egg?

I regretted it in my heart, but on the surface, Wang Lei couldn't say anything. Whoever let Amanda be left behind without asking clearly, and if he refuses, he can't say anything.

Fortunately, my brother not only makes money by boxing, but also writes scripts and novels to make money, and the appearance fee will increase in the future, so don't worry about running out of money!

……

After two days in the hotel, the time for the game finally came.

That night, Wang Lei, Sadler and others appeared in the locker room of the boxing match.

After warming up with a few sets of air strikes and stretching movements, and then asking Amanda to massage him again, and applying a layer of vegetable oil to his body, Sadler and Ou Yangming stepped forward to help wrap the hand strap and foam some Vaseline on his face.

The reason for applying Vaseline to your face is to avoid breaking the skin of your opponent's gloves and causing the wound to become infected.

Wearing boxing shoes, crotch guards and golden shorts, Wang Lei, wrapped in a red cape, was ready to go on stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us march forward!"

When he came to the door of the locker room, Wang Lei happened to hear a familiar voice.

Mike Baffel!

Wang Lei's heart moved, thinking of the voices and lines that he often heard after watching many boxing match videos in his previous life.

This line is the classic line of Mike Barfel, one of the most famous and outstanding boxing live presenters in Las Vegas.

The boxing matches presided over by Bafel are basically boxing championship matches, and whenever he says his classic lines before the start of the fight, the scene will definitely throw a tsunami-like shout, resulting in an unusually warm atmosphere in the boxing match.

In the 90s, Baffel cooperated with HBO to register his line as a patented trademark, and the remuneration for hosting and commenting each boxing match is said to be as high as 30,000 US dollars, which is three times more than Wang Lei's current appearance fee. This shows the charm and appeal of Bafel's commentary.

Tonight's main bout is a heavyweight boxing title match between Tyson and Burbick, and Wang Lei and Bullock can also hear Baffel's voice in the four-round mat match, but he is very lucky.
