In Wang's previous life, Don King was the most successful and influential boxing promoter in the world, and he is no slouch today. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is now 1987, Don King's accolades are still staggering. As early as '74, he not only popularized the "jungle battle" between Ali and Foreman, giving Ali and Foreman an unprecedented $5 million each, but also allowing a billion people around the world to watch the game live on television.

The following year, Don King promoted the final showdown between Ali and Joe Fraser, known as "Manila Tremors", which was still watched live on television by a billion people around the world.

Since then, Don King has been out of control, partnering with HBO and ABC to sell record TV broadcast fees, and creating his own television network, Don King Sports & Entertainment Network.

Don King likes to promote boxing championships, and in '82, Don King promoted an unprecedented 23 boxing championships. Last year, he broke that record, promoting 25 boxing tournaments and selling a record $26 million in franchise fees to HBO. As a result, he was named the best boxing promoter of the year by the WBA Boxing Association.

In terms of boxing promoters, the current Don Kim can be said to have surpassed Arum, who debuted earlier than him.

But unlike Arum, Don King is an opportunist, with little to no training of rookie fighters, always digging directly into fighters whose fame will bring him benefits.

After Ali came back from a three-year ban for opposing the war, Don King, who had just debuted a few years ago, persuaded Ali to switch to his banner and fought several classic boxing matches with Joe Fraser and Foreman.

After Ali retired, Don Kim poached Ali's sparring partner Larry Holmes, and after making him a heavyweight champion by any means, he defended his title as a "cash cow" for a full 20 fights, almost breaking the record of the former undefeated boxing champion Rocky Massiano.

After Larry Holmes' undefeated golden body was broken and he had to retire due to his age, Don King set his sights on heavyweight supernova Mike Tyson, and successfully took Tyson under his command and became his new cash cow.

Another trait that sets Don Kim apart from Arum is his preference for heavyweight fighters.

Almost half of the boxing matches he promoted were heavyweight championships, and Don King paid less attention to the mid-tier fighters. Don King's well-known mid-tier fighters are currently only one Robert Duran.

This is just the opposite of Arum, who has the most small and medium-sized fighters under his command, and most of them have invested in Arum's banner before they become famous, and Arum has promoted them to the boxing throne step by step.

Perhaps realizing that there was only one Robert Duran under his command and a mid-to-mid-level fighter was too shabby, Don King's attention fell on Wang Lei when he rose to prominence like a rocket.

is still very young and very young Chinese, and his strength is also very strong, and what is even more rare is that he is still very talented, can write scripts and science fiction novels. Three of the screenplays have been made into movies, except for the first one that won the Best Screenplay Award at the Sundance Film Festival because of its ultra-low cost, the other two films have won hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office in North America, and their reputation is also very good. And his science fiction novel "Jurassic Park" is now a New York Times bestseller, and it is said that it has sold three million copies.

Because of the super popularity brought to him by the script and novels, coupled with his Chinese identity, he attracted a lot of attention in almost every boxing match, and as a result, he only fought seven fights to become a welterweight champion, and even unified the middleweight division once and became a triple crown.

After realizing that Wang Lei is a super cash cow that may not be worth under Tyson, Don King rushed to San Francisco to watch Wang Lei and Donald Currie defend the title on the spot, and then Don Kim was impressed by Wang Lei's amazing performance of knocking out Donald Currie in two rounds.

Don King feels like seeing a small-level yellow-skinned Tyson!

This Chinese kid can definitely bring him great benefits like Tyson, and he must be poached from Arum's banner!

Don King, who has long been accustomed to digging corners, will not care about the feelings of his old rival Arum, so he asked his assistant to meet Wang Lei secretly that day, and asked Wang Lei to meet him privately.

Don Kim believed that as long as Wang Lei went to the appointment, with his lotus-like persuasiveness, he would definitely be able to persuade Wang Lei to abandon Arum and join his banner.

However, Wang Lei's reaction was unexpected by Don King.

Wang Lei directly refused the request to meet him in private, and didn't give him a chance at all!

It was the first time that Tang Jin, who had been ignored like this, was annoyed that Wang Lei didn't know how to lift up, and decided to teach Wang Lei a lesson.

Didn't Wang Lei, a Chinese kid, want to challenge Robert Duran? Coincidentally, Duran is my fighter, can I make him not accept your challenge, see what you do?

The cautious Don King made Duran reject Wang Lei's challenge as an agent, and then arranged a title defense match for Duran at lightning speed, against a not-so-famous fighter.

Don King wanted to use this to blackmail Wang Lei and make Wang Lei bow to him. As long as Wang Lei bows his head and joins his command, he can generously forgive Wang Lei for being rude to him and arrange a match between Wang Lei and Duran.

Don King's idea was good, but he didn't expect Wang Lei to play his cards completely out of the ordinary, and in the blink of an eye, he and his nemesis Arum finalized a match against super welterweight IBF champion Julian Jackson.

Julian Jackson, a fighter from the Virgin Islands, is not his man, and his agent doesn't deal with him much, so Don King can't stop the fight.

What made Don King even more angry was that Wang Lei, a Chinese kid, was so shameless that he actually talked nonsense at the pre-game press conference to drive a wedge between him and Duran!

obviously asked him to meet in private to dig him up, but this kid vaguely said that he was admitting defeat to him on behalf of Duran, and even bribed him to let Duran go.

Although the kid didn't say it explicitly, the implication was obvious, and the media reporters who attended the press conference basically understood it this way, and some reporters even called to interview him and asked him how much money he used to bribe the Chinese kid.

This is really unbearable for uncle and aunt, can I Don King do this kind of thing?

Just now, Robert Duran called and asked him about this matter, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction to him, and said that if he couldn't solve the matter and save his image of Duran, he Duran wouldn't mind terminating the contract with him, skipping him to directly make an appointment with the Chinese kid!

Don King was so angry that he almost dropped the phone after listening to Duran's words!

If it weren't for the fact that Duran was the only small and medium-sized boxing champion under his command who could still make money for him, Don King would have scolded him a long time ago!

After reassuring Duran with kind words and saying that he would find a way to solve the matter, Don King hung up the phone, his eyes revealing a terrifying murderous aura, and his flame-like hair stood on end.

After thinking about it for a long time, Don King made up his mind and picked up the phone again and dialed a number.

"Hey, Brother Gottie, remember me...... Just remember, you owed me a favor at the beginning, and today I want you to pay it back...... Don't worry, I won't let you do anything too embarrassing, I want you to help me deal with someone, I don't have to kill him or kidnap him, just break one of his arms...... His name was Lei Wang, and he was of Chinese descent...... That's right, it's the Chinese kid who just became a boxing champion, you shouldn't be afraid of him...... Well, I know that Brother Gaudí is righteous, and I'll leave this matter to you, but I hope that no one will suspect me...... Well, thank you, I'm waiting for you good news, goodbye! ”

After hanging up the phone, Don King's black face showed a sneering expression, and he hummed to himself: "Chinese boy, this is the fate of you offending me Don King, don't think that no one in your family will dare to deal with you if they know Chinese kung fu, this world is the world of firearms, no matter how powerful kung fu is, how can you beat the gun?" Humph......"
