Mayweather was breathing heavily. He never thought that he would be knocked down twice in this game!
This is something he has never done before in his career!
But when he changed his defensive strategy for the first time in this round and received a heavy punch from Xiao Yong, he was always passive!
In the five-round match, Xiao Yong's pace was extremely fast, and the continuous rapid offensive and defensive battles consumed a lot of his physical energy.
At the same time, Xiao Yong's fists are also very heavy. After hitting multiple times, the effect of the blow is also very significant!
Mayweather's ability to resist beatings is very strong, but the reason why he is called Pretty Boy is definitely not because he can resist beatings, but because his defensive skills are strong enough that others cannot cause effective damage to him!
But it is undeniable that many of the opponents he faced were not in their prime.
Taking Pacquiao as an example, one match lasted for six years!
By the time the two met, Pacquiao was in the midst of a two-game losing streak and was already a bit older.
Although Mayweather is two years older than Pacquiao, their fighting styles are different.
Pacquiao, who has a strong style, needs stronger speed, strength, physical fitness and explosive power to support his offense.
But at that time, Pacquiao was no longer able to do these things.
Mayweather faces Xiao Yong today!
You are at the peak of your physical condition in your life!
Moreover, Xiao Yong is taller and his punches are heavier!
"You can't let him hit you on the head all the time, you have to protect yourself!" Mayweather Sr. yelled in his ear.
Mayweather lowered his head and said angrily: "But I feel like my ribs are going to be broken!"
This is true. If this were an ordinary person, if Xiao Yong really punched with all his strength, his ribs would probably be broken!
That is to say, Mayweather has gone through countless fighting training, and his bone density and strength are far beyond ordinary people, so he can withstand so many punches by Xiao Yong.
But every time I punched him, it still felt like I was hit in the ribs with a sledgehammer!
Severe pain continues to affect Mayweather!
It will cause the body to react unconsciously!
Mayweather Sr. was immediately speechless!
From the current point of view, the defensive counterattack strategy has been greatly affected by Xiao Yong's heavy punch!
In fact, Mayweather is the most uncomfortable at this time.
He already regretted accepting this match.
"Damn it, if he were the same weight as me! If I were ten years younger! How could I be so embarrassed?"
Mayweather is full of regret and unwillingness!
At this point in the game, he has seen that he may be about to face the first defeat in his career!
The last time he failed, he still had to pursue his failure in amateur boxing at the Olympics!
That's been many years!
Looking up at Xiao Yong opposite, Mayweather looked fierce.
"I want to fight him!"
"Are you crazy!?" Old Mayweather couldn't believe his ears!
Mayweather said coldly: "I'm not crazy! If this continues, I will definitely lose. With sporadic counter punches, it will be difficult to directly KO that guy, but his punches are too heavy! We have only finished five rounds now, even if that's
The guy's physical fitness has also declined, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to last until the end of the game. Moreover, he knocked me down again, and he is definitely still in the lead in terms of total points! I have no choice now!"
Having said this, Mayweather stood up and adjusted his gloves: "I have to use continuous combination punches to knock him down! Although the risk is very high! But this is my last chance! Keep dragging on.
, maybe I won’t even have a chance to fight!”
Mayweather has made a decision!
When he finished speaking, the intermission was over!
He stepped onto the center of the field again, and Xiao Yong walked over at the same time.
The sixth round of competition begins!
Both of their bodies were covered with sweat at this time, and their muscles were sharp and angular. Under the light, they looked extremely strong!
Smith laughed and said: "I really didn't expect that Xiao would perform so well in the boxing ring and make Mayweather so embarrassed. No one had ever been able to do such a thing before him."
Tyson looked calm and said: "No one can stand at the top forever. There are too many unfavorable factors in Mayweather's match. His weight and age are all problems, but we all thought Xiao Yong would be a
As a boxing rookie, I didn’t expect that his boxing level could reach the level of a boxing champion, and he was not uncomfortable with the rules at all. This is simply incredible, because according to the data, Xiao Yong had not participated in any boxing competition before.
A boxing match!”
Smith nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it's really incredible. I don't know how he can adapt perfectly. Looking at him, he looks like a veteran who has played hundreds of boxing matches. Even with his flexible steps
It’s hard for Mayweather to escape his oppression!”
Domestic netizens are even more excited at this time!
Xiao Yong's performance in the fifth round swept away the previous decline. He hit Mayweather on the head with many heavy punches and beat Mayweather into a panic. This is what they want to see!
In fact, sometimes fighting events are like this, the victory or defeat can be decided by just one punch.
Once an effective punch is struck, it may cause earth-shaking changes in the game situation.
On the field, Xiao Yong continued to press Mayweather!
In his opinion, Mayweather is at the end of his strength at this time!
However, while Xiao Yong pressed forward, Mayweather did not retreat, but also stepped forward!
The left hand flat hook was shot smoothly!
This time, it was completely beyond Xiao Yong's expectation. Thanks to his dynamic vision, the value always kept shaking. With an acceleration, Mayweather's fist rubbed Xiao Yong's cheek!
At the same time, Mayweather's backhand straight punch has already come!
"boom!"
The fist hit Xiao Yong hard on the face!
Xiao Yong never expected that at the beginning of this round, Mayweather would suddenly change his game strategy and attack him instead!
This time, Xiao Yong was dizzy from the beating!
In the early years, Mayweather was a player known for his offense. His offense and defense were among the best in the world!
This blow was followed by a straight punch, and Xiao Yong immediately raised his arm and moved back!
Mayweather chases quickly!
The scene reversed in an instant!
"Bang bang bang!"
Continuous fists fell on Xiao Yong's body.
But Mayweather is worried instead!
Because he knows very well that for him, every time he hits hard, he needs to maximize the results!
At this moment, Xiao Yong, who was retreating, suddenly stopped, dwarfed, and hit Mayweather's ribs with his right uppercut from diagonally below!
Xiao Yong has recovered from the dizziness caused by the blow!
"boom!"
Xiao Yong's punch hit Mayweather hard in the ribs!
Mayweather's body tilted unconsciously!
This shows how powerful Xiao Yong is!
One punch hit, and Xiao Yong struck again with a left hook!
This time, his target is Mayweather's head!
Mayweather quickly leaned back to avoid Xiao Yong's attack, and at the same time punched him with his backhand!
The two sides launched a fierce attack!
The audience did not expect that from the beginning of the game, Mayweather retreated and Xiao Yong attacked, but after the fifth round, the game would suddenly enter such a fierce attack!
Both sides hit each other hard!
The game became extremely exciting!
The audience shouted and cheered wildly!
The atmosphere at the scene was pushed to the extreme!
During the confrontation, the two people's dodge and boxing skills were put to a great test.
Mayweather's fists are indeed not as heavy as Xiao Yong's, but that doesn't mean that Xiao Yong can just take Mayweather's heavy blows. If he is really hit by a continuous combination of punches, Xiao Yong may also be KO!
Mayweather gave up his defensive counterattack style. He just changed a tactic. It does not mean that he gave up the game!
He chose a strategy with greater risks and greater returns!
In other words, this is a forced and helpless choice!
The helplessness of being forced by Xiao Yong's heavy punch!
"boom!"
During the exchange of attacks between the two, Xiao Yong's right uppercut accurately hit Mayweather's chin!
This punch is powerful and heavy!
In a boxing match, there are not so many fancy moves. Speed, power, and precision are the most powerful weapons in boxing!
Xiao Yong's violent power instantly made Mayweather's mind go blank!
Pain? It doesn’t exist!
Because there is no time to feel the pain!
Mayweather's vision went dark and he fell to the ground uncontrollably!
The referee stepped forward immediately!
It was immediately announced that the competition was suspended!
Mayweather was knocked out by Xiao Yong in the sixth round!
The audience shouted wildly!
In a crossover event, Mayweather, the undefeated boxing legend, was defeated by Xiao Yong using boxing rules!
Although he has retired! Although he is no longer at his peak!
But the effect of this competition is already shocking enough!
Xiao Yong also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. These six rounds of competition also consumed a lot of his physical energy!
He consumes more energy than Mayweather!
Because he needs to keep pressing forward and keep attacking!
Ineffective attack consumes much more energy than defense!
Especially in the first four rounds, Xiao Yong had no bottom when facing Mayweather who seemed to be an impenetrable wall.
However, in the end, with his heavy punches, Mayweather had to change his tactics, and Xiao Yong finally won the game!
In the center of the ring, Xiao Yong raised his hands high!
Enjoying the cheers of the crowd!
At this moment, he is the center of the world!
At this moment, too many people around the world are watching this game.
Everyone witnessed the fall of legends and the birth of new legends!
When Xiao Yong defeated Mayweather, his name was destined to be engraved in boxing history!
Although he is not a professional boxer, although he does not have any boxing gold belt!
But he beat Mayweather!
Even this game will not be recorded in Mayweather's professional record.
Even if Mayweather is no longer at his peak!
However, whenever the names of Mayweather and Xiao Yong are mentioned, they will never be ignored!
Tyson looked at Xiao Yong on the court and said with some excitement: "Xiao Yong played really well. He is the winner of this game, and his level is definitely that of a world champion! I
I think if he really switches to professional boxing, he will definitely succeed!"
Smith smiled and said: "I guess De La Hoya has already fallen into the trouble of happiness at this time. Alvarez's departure will have a great impact on Golden Boy Company, but he is lucky to have Xiao Yong!"
At the edge of the ring, Hoya had already stood up and cheered excitedly!
He really didn't expect that Xiao Yong could actually win this game!
However, now Xiao Yong not only won, but also ended his opponent with a KO!
And Dana Bai, who came specially to watch the battle, was also confused!
He also didn't expect that Xiao Yong would defeat Mayweather.
You know, he came to watch the match just to show his support for his boxers.
I didn’t really expect Xiao Yong to win.
One issue Dana White has to consider now is Xiao Yong's appearance fee!
After defeating Mayweather, Xiao Yong's commercial value will definitely undergo a qualitative change!
And in China, there is even more joy!
"Awesome! My eldest brother is still awesome!"
"Haha, what about those who say Xiao Yong can't win? Are they a slap in the face?"
"It's so cruel, he KOed Mayweather! This guy is the number one in the boxing world today!"
"That's awesome, idol!"
"I love you!"
Amid the cheers of the audience, Mayweather regained consciousness. His team gathered around him, and everyone looked solemn.
Everyone knows that losing this game will definitely be a big blow to Mayweather's commercial value.
Mayweather stood up and looked at Xiao Yong with a complicated expression.
I originally thought about fighting a cross-border war because it was safe, risk-free, easy to win, and made a lot of money, but I never expected that I would lose the game!
The two came to the center of the field, and the on-site commentator shouted passionately: "The winner of this game is Xiao——Yong——!"
As the commentator roared, the referee raised Xiao Yong's arm high.
Mayweather was livid, and when the referee made the announcement, he left the ring directly!
However, he was quickly surrounded by reporters from the scene!
"Mayweather, how could you lose to Xiao Yong?"
"Mayweather, what do you think about losing to Xiao Yong?"
"Freud, do you think it is a shame that as a boxing champion who has been undefeated for fifty games, your winning streak was ended by Xiao Yong?"
The reporters’ questions were tough!
Because Mayweather has never been a likable person, whether in front of reporters or in front of the audience.
Mayweather took the microphone and said seriously: "I lost because that guy's fists were very heavy. He was the hardest puncher among the boxers I have fought against. Moreover, he had plenty of physical fitness, agile steps, and good boxing skills."
!”
"But! The biggest reason is that I am almost forty years old! And his actual weight is at least five kilograms bigger than mine. If we are at the same age and fight in a lighter category, I will definitely be able to win.
!I just lost to time, not Xiao Yong!"
After Mayweather finished speaking, he threw down the microphone and left!
Obviously, he was not convinced!
Although he recognized Xiao Yong's strength, he did not think that his defeat to Xiao Yong was because he was inferior in skill!
Soon, these remarks also reached the ears of Xiao Yong, who was being interviewed.
Facing Mayweather's harsh words, Xiao Yong smiled and said: "No matter what Freud thought, I won the game, didn't I? No one can always stand at the top, but there will always be winners and losers in the world.
, at least I won this game! I am the winner. As for the situations Freud mentioned, they will never happen, so they are meaningless at all!"
Xiao Yong didn’t go to fight Mayweather!
He did not deny what Mayweather said, because in Xiao Yong's opinion, Mayweather's words made sense.
No matter how high his achievements were at the beginning, he is now almost forty years old.
Really speaking, according to what Mayweather said, he is ten years younger. If the two of them fight in a lighter weight class, Xiao Yong may not be able to win.
But that is just a conjecture after all, it is completely meaningless!
Just like Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, in the end he can only have fun with words.
Xiao Yong, who won the game, was too lazy to waste time discussing such meaningless things with him.
But there is someone who is complaining for Xiao Yong, that is boxing champion Tyson.
At the beginning, Tyson was indeed not optimistic about Xiao Yong, but when Xiao Yong showed the iconic D'Amato system and destroyed Mayweather, Tyson's view of Xiao Yong changed greatly!
Tyson publicly stated in front of the media: "What Mayweather said is so reasonable. If it were twenty years ago, he would have won the game with one punch. After all, Xiao Yong was just a kindergarten child at that time!
Freud is a boxing champion and an adult. If he loses the game, he loses the game! He has too many excuses! Xiao Yong is very strong. He has the strength of the world's top boxing champion. I really recommend that he switch to boxing.
, after all, boxing can make him a lot of money! And with his boxing style, it would be a pity not to box."
After Mayweather heard this, he was very dissatisfied and started fighting with Tyson again!
But there is no doubt that Xiao Yong has become more popular around the world after this game!
The number of Twitter followers increased like crazy, from the original 55 million to 70 million in two days!
Become one of the most followed people in the world!
And this game set an appalling PPV sales record!
5.4 million copies!
This is the first PPV in the world to sell more than 5 million copies!
This is due to Mayweather's contribution and also to Xiao Yong's contribution.
After all, before this, the highest sales were 4.6 million copies from Mayweather and Pacquiao!
His match with Conor McGregor only sold 4.3 million copies!
But now, a terrifying 5.4 million copies have been sold!
Jump directly to the first place in history!
This match, PPV share, is what Xiao Yong is looking forward to the most.
This is also Xiao Yong’s biggest income!
The price of a single PPV for this match is US$99!
5.4 million copies, a total of $534 million sold!
After deducting 30% of the platform’s inherent share, there is still US$374 million left!
The remaining part of the money, 20% of which goes to Golden Boy Promotions, is 77 million US dollars!
Twenty percent goes to Mayweather Promotions, $77 million!
Mayweather himself gets 15%, $56 million!
Xiao Yong won 160 million US dollars!
Xiao Yong also gets 30% of the ticket revenue!
Adding all the profits together, Xiao Yong made a net profit of US$270 million from this game!
As for the promotion company, there are also income from advertising, press conference tickets and copyright sales.
Overall, everyone made a lot of money.
Among them, Mayweather earned the most, followed by Xiao Yong and De La Hoya the least.
It is foreseeable that after defeating Mayweather, Xiao Yong's status and economic value will inevitably rise!
At this time, De La Hoya took the initiative to give Xiao Yong a new economic contract!
"Reducing the brokerage share to 10%?" Xiao Yong looked at Hoya with a smile and asked: "What's wrong, why do you want to lower the share?"
Hoya smiled and said: "You have earned enough for the company now, which is beyond the value of my labor, so I think it is better to be lower and more reasonable!"
Originally, the two men were talking about De La Hoya taking a 17% share.
But as Xiao Yongshi's industry value becomes higher and higher, Hoya becomes more and more worried.
He was worried that Xiao Yong would terminate his contract with him.
Because the more famous a boxer is, the less he needs an economic company, because the boxer has no shortage of competitions! Plus he has enough voice, and he can negotiate his own terms!
So he proactively dropped another seven percentage points!
