Listening to De La Hoya's words, Treance Crawford fell silent.
As De La Hoya 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 announced that he was the number one in boxing.
People are still not very interested in his games.
Training with Xiao Yong?
That guy has 55 million followers on Twitter...
Just when Crawford was hesitating, De La Hoya continued: "If you agree to be Xiao Yong's sparring partner, once Xiao Yong defeats Mayweather, the audience will definitely remember your contribution.
Your attention will definitely increase, and the sparring fee Xiao gives you is one million US dollars per month! And it’s after tax!"
Although the price offered by Xiao Yong is tens of millions per month.
But De La Hoya doesn't intend to give Treance Crawford that much money.
In fact, one million dollars is really a lot for Crawford.
Let's put it this way, he may not be able to play two games a year. With his popularity and influence, advertising revenue is low.
If you only play one game, you still have to pay taxes!
If you really get it in one year, it will be several million US dollars.
One million US dollars, for him, is already more than his average monthly income!
Upon hearing this number, Crawford's wife was moved.
She pinched Crawford secretly.
Obviously, she hopes Crawford will take over this sparring session.
Crawford was also hesitant. This money was really a lot of money.
From a money-making perspective, it's great.
There is no need to think about the consequences of winning or losing, there is no pressure at all, and millions of dollars are in the account.
But for his face, it is really hard to erase.
Seeing that he was still silent, Hoya already guessed that he was a little moved. At the same time, Hoya also knew his concerns. Hoya smiled and said: "Trains, in fact, many times, the things you care about cannot be given to you.
It brings benefits. With your current status, even if you continue to win ten games, the appearance fee will not change much, and may even decrease. Only by gathering enough popularity can you make big money!"
The implication is obvious, face cannot bring money!
"I promise you!"
Traynes Crawford raised his head and looked at Hoya firmly!
He finally agreed to Hoya's invitation!
He is a family man and wants his family to live 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!
At this time, the press conference between Xiao Yong and Mayweather has just become a hot search topic.
It’s when the heat is high!
There is also a lot of discussion about this game in China at this time.
Basically, they are divided into two groups. One group supports Xiao Yong without thinking, while the other group thinks that Xiao Yong has been blinded by money and wants to fight in a boxing match with no chance of winning!
"Xiao Yong is crazy. He doesn't care about anything for money. He will definitely not win!"
"Haha, don't say it so absolutely! I said the same thing when I was playing Xiticai back then."
"That's different. Boxing skills are more refined. For Xiao Yong, he has not received completely systematic training at all. To fight Mayweather, the only way is to be KO!"
"I don't believe it, my eldest brother is so awesome, he will never lose!"
These two groups of people basically hold their own opinions.
In major forums and post bars, the quarrel is in full swing!
They were naturally very concerned about Xiao Yong.
So the promotion of the movie began.
In this case, it is impossible not to think that the popularity is high!
On the other side, Xiao Yong also started training in his own boxing gym. Except for Crawford, some of the other sparring partners have already arrived at Xiao Yong's boxing gym!
Training with these people is actually very necessary.
The sparring skills produced in the system space are indeed good, but they also have a problem, that is, the technology is solidified.
Xiao Yong must accumulate more experience.
Because in the boxing ring, he may encounter too many situations, and he must try his best to simulate all possible situations.
Now it’s about making up for the shortcomings in the ring through real-life training!
Crawford and De La Hoya walked into the boxing gym, and Zheng Tiequan went to greet them.
"Xiao Yong is undergoing actual combat training, we can go and see it together!"
Zheng Tiequan said with a smile.
Crawford looked serious and walked into the training area with De La Hoya.
In the training area, Xiao Yong was on the ring. There were five or six foreigners beside the ring.
When these people saw Hoya coming, they all came over to say hello!
Crawford didn't pay attention to them. Crawford also knew some of these people. In his opinion, they were all good boxers.
His attention was attracted by Xiao Yong on the ring!
On the ring, neither Xiao Yong nor his sparring partner was wearing protective gear!
Completely in actual combat status!
At this time, Xiao Yong was attacking his opponent, but his opponent was a black boxer and kept retreating to defend!
But he was quickly cornered by Xiao Yong!
"Bang bang!"
With two consecutive punches, Xiao Yong's fist accurately hit his opponent's ribs!
Two heavy blows!
The black boxer clutched his ribs and knelt on the ring.
Xiao Yong looked calm and said softly: "Next one!"
The black boxer stepped down, and another white boxer quickly climbed into the ring!
The two sides started competing again!
Crawford looked on.
Gradually, he discovered that Xiao Yong was very strong!
That's right! Even in his opinion, Xiao Yong is very strong!
The first is pace!
Xiao Yong’s pace is extremely flexible!
As the saying goes, an expert knows the way.
Whether a boxer is strong or not, his pace flexibility and control of the ring space are all very important.
In Crawford's view, Xiao Yong's pace is extremely agile and elegant.
Whether it's progress, sliding steps, or retreat steps, the connection between punching and steps can be called an art!
Because of this, no matter how those boxers retreat, it will be difficult to escape Xiao Yong's pursuit!
Moreover, the accuracy and strength of Xiao Yong's fist strikes are quite outstanding.
Crawford knows several of these boxers.
They may not have won the boxing championship, but their skills are not bad and their strength is very strong. Their ability to fight is absolutely no problem.
However, during the sparring with Xiao Yong, once he received a series of heavy punches, he would be knocked to the ground directly!
Is this guy's boxing skills so strong?
In Crawford's opinion, Xiao Yong's level is definitely that of an ordinary boxing champion.
If you focus on boxing, there is no problem in winning a gold belt in one of the four major boxing organizations!
"That guy Mayweather, he picked a tough guy this time!"
Crawford was a little gloating!
You know, Mayweather has been retired for some time.
Most of the boxers he fights are cross-border boxers, and they are completely inferior to him in terms of basic boxing skills and techniques.
But the Xiao Yong in front of him is definitely a boxing master in Crawford's eyes!
Xiao Yong played seven consecutive training games!
He knocked out six of his opponents, and by the time he hit the last one, Xiao Yong's physical fitness had seriously declined.
After all, none of my opponents are mediocre!
Even so, Xiao Yong still continues to lead in points!
Until the end of practice!
After beating the last opponent, Xiao Yong was sweating profusely!
He jumped out of the ring, jumped in front of Crawford, took off his gloves, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "Welcome to join my team!"
Looking at the fierce guy with a smile on his face, Crawford also stretched out his hand.
"I'll fight with you tomorrow!"
"good!"
Crawford didn't say much. He was not a very talkative person.
Xiao Yong took the phone and smiled: "If you don't mind taking a photo with me, I have to tell everyone that my team has a super expert! I'll invite you to try our Chinese specialties later!"
Xiao Yong knew very well what Crawford wanted when he came to be his sparring partner.
He would not deliberately whet his appetite.
Helping Crawford gain popularity is just a piece of cake for him.
But this action made Crawford more fond of him.
Not arrogant, didn't wait for his request...very enthusiastic and proactive.
After the two took a group photo, Xiao Yong posted it on his Twitter.
"Today my team welcomed a new brother, a three-level world champion! @TrainceCrawford, who has won all 38 fights in his career, @Mayweather, feels the fear
?"
As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar!
No one would have thought that the absolute top three players in P4P in the boxing world today would actually work as a sparring partner for Xiao Yong!
What does P4P ranking mean?
We all know that boxers compete in their own weight classes.
And P4P ranking.
It is a ranking that removes the weight factor of the players and judges them based on various technical levels!
Taking boxing as an example, the various technical indicators are: speed, combination techniques, footwork. When further put into mixed martial arts, there are even more technical indicators, including boxing techniques, kicking techniques, wrestling techniques, anti-fall techniques, takedown techniques, and ground techniques.
Various offensive and defensive techniques in battle are the standard of measurement!
Of course, dominance over players of the same level is also an important criterion!
Traynce Crawford is one of the top three P4P players in the boxing world today.
Although this kind of judgment is ultimately just a speculation based on various factors, it also has a certain basis.
Therefore, in terms of technical level, Traynes Crawford is definitely one of the best figures in boxing today!
And he! He actually became Xiao Yong’s sparring partner!
This is something no one expected.
When Mayweather saw the news, he immediately started complaining!
"Crawford is a waste. He has thrown away the glory of being a boxing champion. He does not deserve to be called a boxing champion. Retire quickly and concentrate on being a sparring partner for that Chinese guy. He will definitely make more money than you do boxing! But no matter what you do,
Even if you work hard, you can only earn me a fraction! @TrainceCrawford!”
Mayweather is really angry!
And he also felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Traynce Crawford, his technical style is very similar to him!
Even called an enhanced version of Mayweather.
Of course, Mayweather himself completely scorned this title.
In his opinion, this means that there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkey is the king.
But no matter what, Crawford's strength is beyond doubt.
This kind of person should work as a sparring partner for Xiao Yong!
Another being whose playing style is similar to his own.
And his boxing skills are very strong!
Under their training, what kind of performance will Xiao Yong actually perform in the ring?
Mayweather was furious, and Crawford immediately responded: "@Mayweather, I will help Xiao Yong defeat you and knock you out. Your skills are already outdated. I am stronger."
The presence!"
Crawford also quickly took this opportunity to make his presence felt.
Mayweather's skills are certainly not outdated. It can even be said that many of his defensive counterattacks are very popular in today's boxing world because of his existence!
Many boxers with similar styles have emerged.
More and more boxers are using and learning similar techniques.
This style of play has low risks and high returns, especially for players with strong skills, who can defeat their opponents with minimal risk through footwork.
The greater the technological gap, the harder it is to resist.
In fact, Mayweather was also a very aggressive boxer in his early years, but as he gradually gained weight, he began to adopt this more risk-free style of fighting.
Also help him continue to win!
In addition to Mayweather, the outside world is also in an uproar!
After all, it is very rare for a boxing champion of Crawford's level to work as a sparring partner for others.
New York Daily: "Xiao Yong hires Crawford as a sparring partner, Mayweather may be counterattacked!"
Sports Today: "Mayweather and Crawford fight, Xiao Yong is the biggest winner!"
Boxing Daily: "Crawford's choice represents the decline of boxing. Mayweather-style fighting style will destroy boxing!"
Various reports emerge one after another.
This caused many boxing fans to go to Crawford's account to complain!
Crawford also responded.
"Xiao paid me a very high salary, one million dollars a month, after tax! I have a family, I have six children, I don't see anything wrong with being his sparring partner! Xiao is a very good boxer
, he just has no competition experience. After I help him make up for this part, you will see an extremely terrifying slugger step into the boxing ring!"
This is not nonsense.
In fact, after Crawford and Xiao Yong played the first training match.
He was completely shocked!
Compared with watching from the sidelines, after actually fighting Xiao Yong, he could feel Xiao Yong's power even more.
Excellent strength and explosive power, super punching power, fast and smooth pace, and terrifying physical fitness!
Even for him, it is not easy to defeat Xiao Yong!
Strong enemy!
It can only be said to be a strong enemy!
If before coming, Crawford was pessimistic about Xiao Yong's victory over Mayweather, but after the first training match, Crawford was sure that this guy definitely had a chance to defeat Mayweather.
se.
Of course, it’s just a chance!
After all, Crawford has never fought against Mayweather.
It's difficult to make specific measurements.
And Mayweather's skills are recognized by the entire boxing world as powerful!
No one will deny Mayweather's strength.
During the sparring process, Crawford also released many videos and records of traveling in China and tasting delicious food.
After all, the training with Xiao Yong cannot be released outside.
Can only post something else.
In the process, his Twitter followers increased by nearly 300,000.
This number is already very satisfactory to him.
At the same time, many more people scolded him.
These trolls also make Crawford happy!
Black and red are also red!
Look at Mayweather, there are so many people scolding him, but it is precisely because of so many people scolding him that he has made a lot of money.
To be honest, Crawford is already over 30 years old. He doesn’t know how many more years he can play. If he doesn’t find a way to increase his popularity and worth, he will have no choice but to become a coach to earn a relative after retiring.
meager” salary.
He must take advantage of the few years he can still play to make money!
He is not Mayweather. Once he falls from the top, he will never have the opportunity to make big money.
The more fans you have, the more people will criticize you.
Crawford was happy instead.
It’s better than being in a pool of stagnant water!
It was even said that Xiao Yong took the initiative to take him to the press conference!
at the press conference.
Xiao Yong looked very old-fashioned and sat on the chair.
Crawford directly calls out to Mayweather!
Of course, Mayweather couldn't fight him, and the two quarreled again.
But this kind of drama is very topical!
One is a former number one boxer, and the other is a current top three P4P boss.
In the original match between Xiao Yong and Mayweather, most people, including betting companies, were actually optimistic about Mayweather.
This can be seen from the external odds.
Everyone thought this was just a show, a show that Mayweather would definitely win.
But when Crawford got involved.
His record and his strength made everyone feel uncertain about the outcome of the game.
Many people expect Xiao Yong to teach Mayweather a lesson.
Even in street surveys in beautiful mainland China.
Ninety percent of people hope that Xiao Yong can beat Mayweather.
This guy is really unpleasant.
During this process, Xiao Yong’s new movie also started to be promoted in the European and American markets!
Naturally, the employer will not let go of Xiao Yong's current popularity.
Not to mention, it really aroused the desire of many people to watch the movie. After all, Xiao Yong now has many overseas fans, and many of them are actually movie fans...
And compared to domestic and foreign fans, Xiao Yong's fans account for a larger proportion.
After continuous publicity, the movie was released.
On the first day of the Jinmen Cinema's release of Xiao Yong's new movie, Han Jiayi led her parents into the theater together.
The movie hadn't started yet, and the three of them were sitting together. Han Jiayi's mother sighed: "I remember when you and Xiao Yong were in the same kindergarten. Who would have thought that the child would reach this point today. But this child really misses the old love all the year round.
The tonics are delivered, which is really good for our family. When he comes back next time, we will definitely let him come to our house for dinner!"
Thinking of Xiao Yong, Han Jiayi's lips unconsciously smiled.
Although...somewhat shady.
But at least I can still be by his side...
"Hey, I'm here to watch your movie..."
Han Jiayi took out WeChat and sent a message to Xiao Yong.
