Chapter 987 The Boxing Match Begins
On the 20th, Li Ba went to New York.
The girl didn't go this time, and stayed in the castle to take care of Guoguo with her family.
Marbury picked up the airport, and the two talked about the current form of the league on the way to the hotel.
Marbury said: "The super big deal in the offseason of 06, although it failed to allow the reinforced team to win the championship in the 0607 season, but that deal was really very successful, including the Grizzlies. The development of the ball market in the two seasons is really good.
However, the Hammer, the Suns didn't do well last season, and the current lineup is also a mess. Haven't you considered changing places? "
"Change places?"
Li Ba was stunned. It was impossible to change places. He was a shareholder of the Suns. Marbury didn't know that, so he asked.
He said: "Aren't I coming back now? I can beat half of the team. If I reinforce it, the Phoenix Suns are another super strong team."
"Blow it up, no one can take the garbage team back if it is not completely rebuilt." Marbury laughed.
"What's the difference between the current Suns and the reconstruction?" Li Ba laughed.
When Marbury thought about it, the Suns' defense had been ruined by the messy lineup, and the foundation was gone. It seemed to be rebuilding, but what about people?Is it all up to you?
"Do you have any goals for the new season?" he asked.
Li Ba said without hesitation: "Of course it is the championship. Can I have a second goal?"
Marbury complained: "Don't you think about the Lakers' lineup? The Cavaliers' lineup? Our Grizzlies' lineup? The Mavericks' lineup? The Heat's lineup? Now the league is still dominated by the five giant teams, but without your Suns .”
"The Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons? Then I will sweep the six countries and unify the Liuhe. If I succeed, I will retire and play tennis after winning three consecutive championships." Li Ba laughed.
"Playing tennis?"
Marbury's eyes widened, which one is this?
In the next few days, the promotion of the boxing match entered a peak period, because the pre-sale of tickets was scheduled for the 25th, which was the last opportunity for publicity.
Li Ba retired for one year and led the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the U.S. team and win the Olympic gold medal as soon as he came back.
Regardless of whether the American media like Li Ba or not, the fact is that they cannot do without Li Ba, and their headlines still cannot do without this name every day.
The reaction of the media shows that the heat of this boxing match is still extremely hot, and the relevant online platforms are talking about this boxing match.
On the 22nd, the day of pre-sale of tickets.
New York is the largest financial center in the world, and its spending power is extremely high. Even in the midst of the financial crisis, the average ticket price set this time is as high as [-] US dollars.
The pre-sale situation is very important. If the result is not good, it will reflect the popularity of this boxing match.
Although the market research reports are good, the pre-sale is the real reflection.
At 12:[-] noon, the global pre-sale begins.
"awesome!"
Ten seconds later, Arum raised his fist excitedly.
Sold out in ten seconds, it was an absolute hit.
The pre-sale of tickets reached nearly [-] million U.S. dollars. Such a good result has inspired the entire American boxing and sports circles.
Li Ba can earn tens of millions of dollars from the ticket share alone, and the promoter formed by Arum and WMA can also recover all the investment.
As the competition approached, the hotel where Li Ba stayed became the focus of the media. More and more stars appeared here, and a large number of domestic guests also arrived.
On the morning of the 27th, Zou Shimin suddenly appeared at the hotel where Li Ba was staying.
"Does the Kickboxing Center disagree?" Li Ba asked in surprise.
Zou Shimin nodded, and said with some frustration: "I waited for these geniuses to go, and I was educated."
Li Ba laughed and said: "It's understandable for them to keep you. After all, without the training of the country, you would not be where you are today. You want to change your career now, which is contrary to the purpose of training you. Of course, you can't easily agree. Did they Put forward conditions like Dayao's?"
Zou Shimin said: "That's not true. They let me play another term. After I'm done, I can do whatever I want. They will also support me in changing jobs with publicity resources."
Li Ba nodded. He was firm in this matter, and he couldn't help. Even if he found the general manager, it would be useless, and he didn't want to help too much.
The country trains athletes, of course, not to train you well, make you successful and famous, and then let you pat your ass to make money for yourself, but to win glory for the country in international competitions. This is completely different from the meaning of professional sports. It's different, it's impossible to let anyone go.
If you want to engage in professional sports, you have to invest yourself. Don’t enjoy the country’s training and resources. If you enjoy it, you have to take responsibility and obligations.
In particular, boxing is different from basketball. Olympic boxing and professional boxing are two different things. After changing careers, there is no way to go to the Olympics. Unlike basketball, professional basketball players can play international basketball games without restrictions.
This afternoon, Li Ba and Tyson attended the pre-match press conference.
Li Ba took a look at Tyson, his figure recovered, his eyes were fierce, and he looked in good condition.
"Tie Hammer, if you are careless, you will be knocked out by me." Tyson stared fiercely at Li Ba and said.
"I'm never careless, even for an old guy like you, I will definitely go all out until I blow your head off."
Li Ba sneered.
"I'm an old fellow who will teach you a lesson," Tyson growled under his breath.
"I hope that your shaking and flashing can make you dodge my fist, but the chances are small, I will still hit your head. I also hope that your bones are hard enough to withstand my heavy punch." Li Ba sneered .
"We'll see!" Tyson said.
After the press conference, the two sat together again in private.
"Hammer, thank you, $1000 million is very important to me, and it brings our family back to a normal life."
Tyson said gratefully.
Li Ba smiled and said, "When your head is blown off by me, you won't be grateful to me."
"Asshole, your fist won't hit me at all." Tyson scolded with a smile.
The next day, the boxing match began.
The Central Garden Plaza in Madison, New York is overcrowded, and countless Wall Street elites gather here. They hope to pass this boxing match to relax their nervous nerves.
There are 9 o'clock in the main game, and there are three pad games before. During this time, Li Ba is making final preparations in the waiting room.
Dayao, Ah Lian, and the Dazhi bus all rushed over, and they all stayed in the lounge at this time, Marbury and Kobe also came over, and Zou Shimin was also here.
Li Ba chatted with Kobe and Dayao to the winery, and the two of them have already decided to do it.
Dayao heard that the wine sales of Xianbei Winery are so good, so he plans to invest more and build a slightly larger winery.
He said to Li Ba: "Tie Hammer, you already have a wine sales company in China, and the market has opened up. I will rely on you to sell my wine in the future."
"And me." Kobe also said.
"You guys are good at calculating, everything is ready-made. Go find Gao Yuanyuan yourself, that company mainly deals with her." Li Ba said.
"Are you all going to open wineries? Hammer, count me in." Marbury shouted.
Li Ba said helplessly: "It seems that we will jointly occupy China's wine market in the future."
