Chapter 424 Negotiation Event

Bang bang bang!

“Morarez, hurry up the offensive rhythm!You have to imagine that the person on the opposite side is Link, you have to be faster, and faster to knock him down.”

“Jeremiah, pay attention to defense!You are a heavyweight boxer, and I don't want to see you repelled by a super middleweight.”

When Link came to the training ground, Morarez was practicing against a black boxer named Jeremiah Johnson in the boxing ring. Morarez was the main attack and the opponent was the main defense. The two sides played well.

Hoya pointed to the side, his voice a little noisy.

Link let Christine move freely on the training ground, then changed into sportswear and started daily training.

Christine sat cross-legged on the sofa in the lounge area, took out a lollipop from her pocket and put it in her mouth.

Watching Link practice skipping rope for half an hour, and then practice weightlifting on the barbell frame, the more than 160-pound barbell seemed to have little weight in his hands. A set of 50 jerk can be done in less than three minutes.

His muscles are also gradually becoming strong and firm during exercise, with clear lines between the muscles, bulging pectoral muscles, eight chocolate abdominal muscles, strong arm muscles, biceps brachii, flexible shoulder armor muscles, each muscle is full of wild beauty.

After practicing for a long time, fine oily sweat also emerged from the pores, and the bronzed skin became shiny and smooth, like steel soaked in oil stains, which looked very hard. It seemed that if you beat it twice with your hands, it would make a ‘Dangdang’ noise.

Christine pursed her red lips, walked to the equipment training area, picked up a pair of small dumbbells to do arm flexion exercises.

After practicing for a while, his long hair was sweaty on his cheeks, and his white T-shirt was also drenched in sweat, sticking to his chest and back, revealing the outline of black underwear.

There are also her two white thighs in hot pants, because of the amount of activity, her rounded calves are trembling slightly.

Link reminded her to warm up before training to prevent muscle strains. Christine ignored him and moved from one training equipment to another, touching all the equipment that could be used.

Standing on the boxing ring, de la Hoya looked at the two people in the training area and complained: “Is he here to exercise or to pick up girls? In the past, the media criticized me for being careless and called me a friend of women, but compared with a real scumbag like Link, I am more innocent than many middle school students.”

“It's different. Link fucks around, but he has never suffered a defeat. When you mess around, your legs will be soft and you will lose the game. There is no comparison between the two of you.”

Morarez said, panting.

"Shut up!Practice boxing well!Jeremiah, now you attack him to defend. If you see him lazy, beat him severely. Never be soft.”

De La Hoya shouted with a black face.

The black boxer Jeremiah Johnson slammed Morarez with a fist the size of a sandbag.

Fortunately, Morarez was originally an "iron man’. After training with Link for two years, his body became stronger. As long as fists under 800 pounds did not hit the head, they would have little effect on other parts.

Bang bang bang!

Seeing that Morarez was busy dealing with Jeremiah, Hoya continued: “Don't think how good Link is. He is only 22 wins in 22 fights now, and I have maintained a record of 31 wins in 31 fights. He will definitely lose in two years. This is a situation that all boxers will encounter.”

“Not necessarily, you won 31 games and 31 wins because you can only go undefeated in 31 games, and Link won 22 games and 22 wins because he has only participated in 22 games, the gap is too far.”

Morarez took a few steps back and retorted.

“Jeremiah, hurry up the pace of the attack and hit him in the face.”

De La Hoya shouted.

The black boxer roared and attacked Morarez one after another with his fists.

Hoya snorted softly and turned to look at the training area.

“Link used to bring Emma Roberts over, but now he has become Kristen Stewart. I heard that Jennifer Lawrence, Alexandra Daddario, and Emma Watson are also his girlfriends. The quality of this bastard picking up girls is too high, at least ten times higher than me.”

“I'm afraid it's more than that, at least 10,000 times.”

Hoya's face collapsed and he was about to scold, but when he turned around, he found that the speaker was Franco Duva.

Franco was wearing a beach shirt, casual pants, his hair was meticulously combed, and his face was fatter than when he played in Las Vegas last time.

“Link is really good at picking up girls. I'm not as good as him, but he's better than someone who needs to report to his wife after spending the night outside.”

Hoya snorted coldly.

Franco suddenly narrowed his smile and the corners of his mouth twitched, “At least I haven't been ripped off by my wife.”

Hoya's face turned dark for an instant. When he was raising a little lover outside, he was caught by his pregnant wife, and his hair was torn off by his wife when he was noisy.

I don't know how this incident was photographed by the paparazzi and published in the newspaper. It was a sensation for a while.

In the past seven or eight years, I thought everyone had forgotten about it, but this bastard Franco dared to mention it to his face.

“Hoya, I apologize to you. I shouldn't have said that. I take back what I said before.”

Franco said apologetically.

Hoya gritted his rear molar teeth and wanted to say a few more words, but there was really no black material in Franco's area, and there was nothing to spray with his mouth. It was very uncomfortable to hold it in his heart.

“Why are you here?Oh, I heard that this year's Golden Gloves Boxing Championship, you have signed two more newcomers with good potential. Is there anyone comparable to Link?”

“No, Link is a boxing wizard that is rare in a hundred years. A boxer like him is lucky to meet one in his life. How can he meet one after another.”

Franco looked at Link in training and was amazed.

Ordinary boxers will be complacent and slack after achieving certain results, and daily training also requires constant supervision by the coach.

Link is now the boxer with the strongest overall strength, the highest appearance fee, and the most famous reputation in the boxing arena. He is also the most outstanding representative in the current boxing field voted by "Boxing Magazine".

And he is worth more than two billion U.S. dollars, and he is a rich man.

People like him don't need to work hard to enjoy glory and wealth.

But after achieving these achievements, Link did not lie stagnant in the credit book.

He still insists on training every day and constantly improving his strength, as if he hadn't become famous before.

This kind of toughness, mentality, perseverance, self-control, and pursuit of boxing are worth learning from all boxers and even athletes.

“Yes, a boxer like Link is really hard to meet. You are lucky to meet him. Last time Al Haimon and Frank Warren said that you are a lucky guy.

If there is no Link, people like you can only live in the main event company. How can it be as beautiful as it is now? A small broken company has a market value of 300 million to 400 million U.S. dollars. You have picked up a big bargain.”

Hoya curled his mouth and said.

Franco shook his head, and he could hear that Hoya was still angry about the "hair pulling" incident, but he didn't mind, what Hoya said was true.

If Link hadn't been signed that year, it would be really difficult for him to make any achievements in the boxing arena, let alone take charge of a sports company with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Also in Hoya's words, he also heard a strong sour taste, which was envy, jealousy, and hatred.

In fact, it's not just Hoya who is jealous. Since 2009, he has become the object of jealousy of all the promotion company bosses in the boxing arena, and he is getting more and more jealous.

Because Link's ability to make money is getting stronger and stronger.

An appearance fee of 30 or 40 million for a game, four or five games a year, and a total income of more than 200 million U.S. dollars, even if the company can only get 20 or 30%, that is 40 or 50 million revenue.

Forty or fifty million a year, one hundred million in two years, excluding the publicity expenses during the event, the net income is also more than ten million.

At this speed, it was too cheap for Link to call out a 100 million signing bonus on the train that year.

He alone makes more money than his promotion company, which owns 100 professional boxers.

For example, Hoya's Golden Boy Promotion, which has more than 50 professional boxers, made a profit of less than six million on its books last year, but in fact it is said to be in debt of several million.

Hoya spoke to him in this sour tone, and he could fully understand it.

“Let's stop bickering, I'm looking for you to discuss business.”

Franco said.

“Is it about the game with Hopkins?Don't worry about this, let Link fight with Andrei Shumenov, Chad Dowson, and Nathan Cleverly first, and wait until the three of them are won.”

Hoya said perfunctorily.

After being defeated by Link at the beginning of the year, Hoya then announced his retirement and concentrated on running the Golden Boy boxing promotion company.

He is now not only the owner of the promotion company, but also a well-known promoter in the boxing arena, responsible for promoting and operating the competitions of his boxers, relying on boxers to make money.

The Elhaimon and Franco Warren he mentioned earlier are also gold medal promoters in boxing.

There is also Bob Arum, as is Franco Duva.

What important competitions are there in the boxing arena now, they are all operated by a few of their promoters.

The WBA light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins is a boxer under the Golden Boy Promotion.

If Franco wants to promote the game between Link and Hopkins, he still needs his consent.

As far as the current situation is concerned, he cannot agree.

He fought with Link and knew how powerful Link was.

Hopkins is not Link's opponent for the time being. He is arranging for Hopkins to train in Cuba. Let's take a look at Link's matches with the other three light heavyweight champions.

It is best to let Link encounter some setbacks in the first three light heavyweight matches and his mentality is affected.

It would be perfect for Hopkins to take a timely shot and defeat Link in one fell swoop.

"Bob Arum and Al Haimon said the same.”

Franco said helplessly.

The IBF light heavyweight champion is under Bob Arum, and the WBO light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly is under Al Haimon.

“They also want to take a look at the match between Link and the other three boxing champions before making a decision. If you don't arrange people, Link won't have a match to play after he finishes beating Andrey Shumenov.”

“How come there is no game?You can first arrange for Link to compete with the second- and third-ranked boxers in each organization, first get the challenger qualification, and then challenge the three of Hopkins. Step by step, fight steadily, which is more beneficial to Link's development.”

Hoya spread his hands and said.

“This arrangement is okay, but Link has a lot of things now, time is limited, and he doesn't have that much time to participate in the second-level events. In addition, what's the point of avoiding the battle like this, and you will have a chance to defeat Link in the game a few months later?”

“This is not necessarily.”

Hoya hugged his arms and said unwaveringly.

Franco glanced at him, “Are you sure you want to do this?"Don't forget that Hopkins is 46 years old this year, and he will be 47 next year. His condition will get worse and worse. You are also a boxer and know what age means to a boxer.”

Hoya frowned when he heard this. ’Hangman' Hopkins is indeed too old. He is also the oldest active boxing champion in the current boxing arena. Because of this, he didn't want Hopkins to meet Link, who was super energetic, on the ring too early. .

Once Link used the strategy of attrition to drag the game to ten rounds, Hopkins had no chance of winning at all.

“Hoya, think about it again. There will be a boxing title defense in the second half of the year. There are many light heavyweight masters. If he loses the golden belt and wants to fight Link again, he is not eligible. Why not take advantage of the fact that he is still the champion of boxing and Link will make millions more appearance fees?”

Franco persuaded.

When Hoya heard his proposal, he fell into contemplation. He thought for a while and said to Franco that he had to discuss with Hopkins first. If Hopkins accepted, he would not object.

Franco nodded, said hello, and walked to the equipment training area.

Seeing Franco's back, Hoya curled his lips uncomfortably.

This lucky guy was born with a good father, met a good wife when he was an adult, and now he meets a Link. This guy has been lucky all his life.

There is also the guy Link, if Link is under the Golden Boy Promotion Company, he can force other boxers like Franco to fight.

It's a pity that Link was not discovered earlier that year.

If time can go back, he will definitely rush in front of Franco and sign him with a big contract.
