Chapter 210: The Impact of Crawford's Arrival
Listening to Hoya's words, Trayens Crawford fell silent.
As Huo Ya said, he himself knows very well that what he lacks most is popularity.
But he really doesn't attract people's attention.
Even when he declares that he is the number one in boxing.
People are still not very interested in his game.
Training with Xiao Yong?
That guy has 55 million followers on Twitter....
Just when Crawford hesitated, Hoya continued: "If you agree to be a sparring partner for Xiao Yong, once Xiao Yong wins Mayweather, your credit, the audience will definitely remember your credit, and the attention to you will definitely increase at that time, and the sparring fee that Xiao gives you is a million dollars a month!" And it's after tax! â
Although Xiao Yong's price code is 10 million per month.
But Hoya wasn't going to give Trayens Crawford that much money.
In fact, millions of dollars are a lot for Crawford.
Let's put it this way, he may not be able to play two races a year, and with his popularity and influence, he is a horse with low advertising revenue.
If you only play one game, you will have to pay taxes!
It's really in my hands a year, which is millions of dollars.
One million dollars, for him, is more than the average monthly income!
Hearing this number, Crawford's wife was moved.
She secretly pinched Crawford.
It's clear that she wants Crawford to take on this sparring role.
Crawford is also hesitating, this money, it's really a lot.
In terms of making money, it is very fragrant.
Regardless of the consequences of winning or losing, there is no pressure at all, and millions of dollars are credited.
But for his face, it is really a little indelible.
Seeing that he was still silent, Huo Ya had already guessed in his heart that he was a little moved, and at the same time, Huo Ya was also aware of his concerns, Huo Ya smiled: "Terrains, in fact, many times, the things you care about will not bring you benefits, with your current state, even if you continue to win ten games, the appearance fee will not change much, and may even be reduced, only by gathering enough popularity, can you make a lot of money!" â
The implication is obvious, face, can not bring money!
"I promise you!"
Traynes Crawford raised his head and looked at Hoya with determined eyes!
He finally agreed to Hoya's invitation!
He is a family man, and he wants his family to have a better life.
He needs more money!
Middle-aged men often need to compromise with life and reality, even if he is a boxing champion, it is the same!
Huaxia, the filming of the movie has ended.
The editing is finalized and promoted, and the one-stop arrangement is directly arranged.
Liu Changhe is very concerned about this.
At this time, Xiao Yong and Mayweather's press conference had just been on the hot search.
It's time for the heat to be high!
At this time, the country is also full of discussions about this game.
Basically, it is divided into two factions, one faction is brainless to support Xiao Yong, and the other faction thinks that Xiao Yong has been carried away by money and goes to fight a boxing match with no chance of winning!
"Xiao Yong is crazy, he doesn't care about anything for money, he definitely can't win!"
"Hehe, don't say it so absolutely! That's what I said when I played Sitthichai back then. â
"That's different, boxing skills are more refined, for Xiao Yong, he has not received completely systematic training at all, and there is only one way to fight Mayweather, which is to be knocked out!"
"I don't believe it, my eldest brother is so good, he will never lose!"
These two groups of people basically have their own opinions.
In the major forums, the post bar is in full swing!
They were naturally extremely concerned about Xiao Yong.
So the promotion of the film began.
In this case, it is impossible to think about the heat!
On the other hand, Xiao Yong also started training in his own boxing gym, except for Crawford, some of the rest of the sparring partners have already arrived at Xiao Yong's boxing gym first!
Training with these people is actually very necessary.
The technology of the sparring produced in the system space is indeed good, but there is also a problem, that is, the technology is solidified.
Xiao Yong has to accumulate more experience.
Because there are so many situations that he can encounter in the boxing ring, he has to simulate everything that can happen as much as possible.
Now it's time to make up for the lack of competition in the ring through realistic training!
Crawford and Hoya walked into the gym, and Zheng Tiequan went to greet them.
"Xiao Yong is in actual combat training, let's go and have a look together!"
Zheng Tiequan said with a smile.
Crawford looked serious and walked into the training area with Hoya.
In the training area, Xiao Yong was in the ring, and there were five or six foreigners on the edge of the ring.
When these people saw Hoya coming, they all came over to say hello!
Crawford didn't pay attention to them, and among these people, Crawford also knew them, and in his opinion, they were all good fighters.
His attention was attracted by Xiao Yong in the ring!
I saw that in the ring, Xiao Yong and the sparring partner were not wearing protective gear!
Full combat status!
At this time, Xiao Yong was attacking this opponent, and the opponent was a black boxer, constantly retreating and defending!
But he was quickly blocked in the corner by Xiao Yong!
"Bang bang!"
With two punches in a row, Xiao Yong's fist accurately hit the opponent's ribs!
Two heavy hits!
The black fighter clutched his ribs and fell to his knees in the ring.
Xiao Yong looked calm and said softly: "Next!" â
The black fighter stepped down, and another white fighter quickly climbed into the ring!
The two sides are playing again!
Crawford watched from the sidelines.
Gradually, he discovered that Xiao Yong was very strong!
That's right! Even in his opinion, Xiao Yong is very strong!
First of all, the pace!
Xiao Yong's pace is extremely flexible!
It is the so-called insider's doorway.
Whether a fighter is strong or not, his pace flexibility, and control of the space in the ring are all important.
In Crawford's view, Xiao Yong's steps are connected, extremely agile and elegant.
Whether it's progress, sliding, or retreating, it's all art in the connection between punching and pace!
Because of this, no matter how those fighters retreated, it was difficult for them to escape Xiao Yong's pursuit!
And Xiao Yong's fist striking accuracy and strength are quite outstanding.
Several of these fighters Crawford knows.
They may not have won the boxing title, but their skills are not bad, and they are also very strong, and their ability to resist striking is absolutely fine.
But in the sparring with Xiao Yong, once he gets a continuous heavy blow, he will be directly knocked to the ground!
Is this guy's boxing skills so strong?
In Crawford's view, Xiao Yong's level is definitely the strength of an ordinary boxing champion.
If you concentrate on boxing, you will have no problem winning the belt in one of the four major boxing organizations!
"Mayweather guy, this time I picked a bad guy!"
Crawford is a little gloating!
You know, Mayweather has been retired for a while.
Most of the boxers he fights are cross-border fighters, and they are completely inferior to him in terms of basic boxing skills and techniques.
But Xiao Yong in front of him, in the eyes of Crawford, is definitely a boxing master!
Xiao Yong played seven training matches in a row!
knocked out six of his opponents, and by the time he reached the last one, Xiao Yong's physical fitness had already declined very seriously.
After all, the opponent is not a mediocre hand!
Even so, Xiao Yong still continues to lead in points!
All the way to the end of the practice session!
After beating the last opponent, Xiao Yong was sweating profusely!
He flipped out of the ring, jumped in front of Crawford, took off his gloves, stretched out his right hand, and smiled: "Welcome, join my team!" â
Looking at the fierce guy with a smile on his face in front of him, Crawford also stretched out his hand.
"I'll fight with you tomorrow!"
"Good!"
Crawford didn't say much, he wasn't a man of words.
Xiao Yong took the phone and said with a smile: "Don't mind taking a photo with me, I have to tell everyone that my team has a super master!" I'll invite you to try our Chinese specialties in a moment! â
Xiao Yong knew very well what Crawford wanted when he came to be his sparring partner.
He wouldn't have deliberately hung his appetite.
Helping Crawford pull a wave of popularity, for him, it's just a gesture.
But this action made Crawford feel more favorable to him.
No arrogance, no waiting for him to ask... Very enthusiastic and proactive.
After the two took a group photo, Xiao Yong posted it on his Twitter.
"Today I have a new brother to my team, a three-division world champion! @çšéˇćŠćŻ Crawford, who has won all 38 fights in his career, @ć˘ ĺ¨ç, do you feel the fear? â
As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar!
No one could have imagined that the absolute top three players in the P4P ranking of today's boxing world would go to Xiao Yong as a sparring partner!
What does P4P ranking mean?
We all know that fighters fight in their respective weight classes.
And P4P ranking.
It is a ranking that removes the weight factor of the players and judges them by various technical levels!
Taking boxing as an example, various technical indicators are: speed, combination techniques, footwork, further put into mixed martial arts, there are more technical indicators, punches, legs, falls, anti-fall techniques, takedown techniques, and various offensive and defensive techniques in ground warfare are all measured!
Of course, the dominance of the players in the same division is also an important criterion!
Traynes Crawford is one of the top three P4P players in boxing today.
Although this kind of judgment is, after all, only a conjecture formed based on various factors, it also has a certain basis.
So Traynes Crawford is definitely one of the best figures in boxing today!
And he! turned out to be Xiao Yong's sparring partner!
This is something that no one expected.
When Mayweather saw the news, he sprayed directly!
"Crawford is a waste, he threw away the glory of the boxing champion, he doesn't deserve to be called the boxing champion, retire quickly, concentrate on being a sparring partner for that Huaxia Xiao, you must earn more than you boxing! But no matter how hard you try, you can only earn me a fraction of it after all! @çšéˇćŠćŻ Crawford! â
Mayweather is really angry!
And there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
Trayens Crawford, the technical style is very similar to his!
It's even called a strengthened version of Mayweather.
Mayweather herself, of course, was completely scoffing at the title.
In his opinion, this is that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king.
Either way, Crawford's strength is unquestionable.
This kind of person goes to Xiao Yong as a sparring partner!
It's also an existence similar to his own style of play.
And the boxing skills are extremely strong!
Under their training, really talking about the ring, what kind of performance will Xiao Yong play?
Mayweather erupted angrily, and Crawford immediately replied: "@ć˘ ĺ¨ç, I will help Xiao Yong defeat you and knock you out, your technique has long been an outdated product, and I am a stronger existence!" â
Crawford also quickly took this opportunity to brush up on a wave of presence.
Mayweather's technique, of course, is not an outdated product, and it can even be said that many of his defensive counter-attacking moves, because of his presence, are very popular in today's boxing world!
There are a lot of fighters with a similar style to him.
More and more fighters are using techniques similar to those learned.
This style of play has low risk and high returns, especially for players with strong skills, who can move with pace and defeat their opponents with minimal risk.
The more there is a gap in technology, the harder it is to resist.
In fact, Mayweather was also a very aggressive fighter in his early years, but as he gradually gained weight, he began to adopt this more risk-free style.
Also help him to keep winning!
In addition to Mayweather, the outside world was also in an uproar!
After all, it's too rare for a boxing champion of Crawford's level to be a sparring partner for others.
New York Daily: "Xiao Yong hires Crawford as a sparring partner, Mayweather is afraid of a counterattack!" ă
Today's Sports: "Mayweather and Crawford face off, Xiao Yong becomes the biggest winner!" ă
Boxing Daily: "Crawford's choice represents the decline of boxing, and Mayweather's style of play will destroy boxing!" ă
There are all kinds of reports.
This made many boxing fans run to Crawford's account to spray angrily!
Crawford also responded.
"Shaw paid me a lot, a million dollars a month, after taxes! I have a family, I have six children, and I don't think there's anything wrong with him being a sparring partner! Shaw is a great boxer, he just doesn't have any game experience, and after I help him make up for that, you're going to see an extremely scary heavy gunner step into the boxing ring! â
This is not nonsense.
In fact, when Crawford and Xiao Yong played their first training match.
He was completely shocked!
Compared with watching from the sidelines, after really fighting Xiao Yong, he can feel Xiao Yong's strength even more.
Exceptional strength and explosiveness, super punch power, fast and smooth pace, and terrifying physical fitness!
Even if it is him, it is not easy to defeat Xiao Yong!
Rival!
It can only be said that it is a strong rival!
If before coming, Crawford was pessimistic about Xiao Yong's victory over Mayweather, but when the first training match was over, Crawford was sure that this guy definitely had a chance to defeat Mayweather.
Of course, there is only a chance!
After all, Crawford didn't fight Mayweather either.
It's hard to make concrete measurements.
And Mayweather's technique is recognized as strong in the entire boxing world!
No one would deny Mayweather's strength.
In the process of sparring, Crawford also released a lot of videos and records of playing in China and tasting food.
After all, it is impossible to release the training with Xiao Yong.
Only a few other things can be posted.
In the process, his Twitter followers grew by nearly 300,000.
This figure is already very satisfactory for him.
At the same time, there were many more people who scolded him.
These trolls also make Crawford happy!
Black and red are also red!
Look at Mayweather, there are more people scolding him, but it is precisely because so many people scold him that he makes a lot of money.
To tell the truth, Crawford is over thirty years old, he doesn't know how many more years he can play, if he doesn't want to improve his popularity and increase his value, after retiring, he can only go to coach to earn a relatively "meager" salary.
He must take advantage of the years he can still play to make good money!
He's not Mayweather, and once he's off the top, then he'll never have a chance to make a lot of money again.
More fans, more scolding.
Crawford, on the contrary, was happy.
It's better than a stagnant pool!
even said that Xiao Yong took the initiative to take him to the press conference!
At the press conference.
Xiao Yong was full of style and sat on the chair.
Crawford called for a battle directly at Mayweather!
Mayweather, of course, couldn't fight him, and the two of them were squirting again.
But this kind of drama is full of topicality!
One is the former No. 1 boxer, and the other is the current top three P4P bosses.
Originally, the match between Xiao Yong and Mayweather, most people, including the spinach company, were actually optimistic about Mayweather.
You can see it from the outside odds.
Everybody thought it was a show, a show that Mayweather won.
But when Crawford joined in.
His record, his strength, made everyone feel uncertain about the outcome of the game.
Many people expect Xiao Yong to teach Mayweather a lesson.
Even in the street surveys of the beautiful country.
Ninety percent of the people hoped that Xiao Yong would beat Mayweather up.
This guy is so unpleasant.
In this process, Xiao Yong's new movie also began to be promoted in the European and American markets at the same time!
The management will naturally not let go of Xiao Yong's current heat.
Not to mention, it really aroused a lot of people's desire to watch movies, after all, Xiao Yong now has a lot of fans overseas, and many of them are actually movie fans...
And compared with domestic fans, among foreign fans, Xiao Yong's fans account for a larger proportion.
Under the continuous publicity, the movie was released.
In the Jinmen Cinema, on the first day of the release of Xiao Yong's new movie, Han Jiayi led her parents into the theater together.
Before the movie started, the three of them sat together, and Han Jiayi's mother sighed: "Thinking that you and Xiao Yong, a kindergarten, who would have thought that the child could come to this point today." But this kid is really nostalgic for the old love, and the perennial tonic is sent, which is really good for our family, and when he comes back next time, he will definitely let him come to the house for dinner! â
Thinking of Xiao Yong, the corners of Han Jiayi's mouth unconsciously smiled.
Though... Some of them are not visible.
But at least by his side...
"Hehe, I've come to see your movie..."
Han Jiayi took out WeChat and sent a message to Xiao Yong.
