Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 235 - Boxing Match Matters (Please follow up)

"Man, regarding Chen's [2017 Munich] boxing match opponents, we have identified three candidates and are contacting them one by one."

The head of the event hosting team and former English Premier League brand public relations general manager Moir Fenning poured a glass of champagne for Emmanuel.

To be honest, it is really difficult to choose an opponent for Chen Yu.

First of all, there are no featherweight or lightweight boxers willing to fight Chen Yu in the professional fighting fields in Europe, America, Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia.

Even if the tournament committee increased the ratio of appearance fees to bonuses plus broadcast shares, no one took the initiative to submit an application through the agency.

Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight boxer Jose Aldo, the tragic hero who has always been suppressed by Chen Yu and Conor McGregor, said that he failed three consecutive challenges and was knocked unconscious, choked, and kicked. I was so confused that I had lost the courage to face Chen Yu.

Another featherweight superstar, Max Holloway, said he doesn't want to retire early yet.

After all, he had personally experienced how cruel, cruel and vicious Chen Yu was in the octagonal cage.

[Thanks for the invitation, but this check cannot allow me to bet my career or even my life.] Feining handed Holloway's reply to Emanuel to read.

"The calligraphy is very beautiful, but not as good as my boss's." Emmanuel shook the champagne glass calmly, and then tapped the photo frame placed on the corner of the table.

Inside was a photo of him and Chen Yu on the beach, with the latter holding a handwritten card: I like the feeling of taking on challenges and even more so, killing them.

Feining walked slowly forward and leaned over to look at it for a long time. He didn't know why but felt that the bright sunshine, clear sky, blue sea water and soft beach could not cover up the murderous intention shown in Chen Yu's cursive calligraphy, even if Chen Yu The fish smiles so cutely and lazily.

Emmanuel was very satisfied with Feining's expression in front of him - pretending to be relaxed but secretly full of shock.

"Now my boss has completely dominated the featherweight and lightweight divisions in professional fighting, so don't force those cowards to stand opposite Chen."

Emmanuel took a slow and elegant sip of the limited edition "Louis Roederer Gold-plated Cristal Champagne" and grinned proudly at Feining.

Fighting with Chen Yu in the octagonal cage is easy to suffer physical and psychological double blows and injuries.

For example, Jose Aldo had already developed a psychological shadow on Chen Yu, and even after seeking medical treatment from various sources and consulting clinics, the results of diagnosis and treatment were extremely limited.

Although it's not to the point where it becomes soft-legged when seeing old fish, its combat effectiveness will indeed be greatly reduced.

Emmanuel put these little pressure on Fenin just to tell him that if the three opponents are in the professional fighting field, he can get out now.

Even though Chen Yu's competitive status is not as good as before, he is definitely not something that rookies and trash can challenge.

"How many featherweight and lightweight boxers in the world of professional fighting are not called rookies or trash in Chen's eyes?" Feining pursed his lips and sighed.

Chen Yu single-handedly brought professional fighting into the top ranks of the international sports world.

If mathematical conversion is performed based on the size of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and its current market value, its profit ratio can definitely rank among the top seven.

Of course, the rankings listed by Fortune magazine are only professional events in the international sports world.

Precisely because he knew Chen Yu's terrifying dominance and influence on two major levels in the professional fighting field, Feining was prepared to "cross industries" from the beginning.

"Oh, I advise you not to be too exaggerated. Accidents are very easy to happen in the octagon or the boxing ring." Emmanuel put down the champagne glass.

If singers, actors, football stars, etc. were allowed to fight Chen Yu, it would be equivalent to asking for death.

After all, Chen Yu will never show mercy or talk about "exhibition matches" in the octagonal cage and the boxing ring.

Feining raised his finger and pointed at his head, indicating that he was not stupid enough to make fun of other people's lives.

His first plan was to find a so-called representative of the traditional Chinese martial arts community to have a bloody battle with Chen Yu, and use the final result of the competition to prove who was stronger.

"I will never vote in favor of this idea. If you want to have the purest commercial boxing match, don't take the opportunity to stir up trouble!" Emmanuel glanced at Feining.

The conflicts and disputes between Chen Yu and the traditional Chinese martial arts community are their internal issues, and Emmanuel does not believe that foreigners are qualified to interfere.

Moreover, we have no right to use the most intense method of arbitration to determine the rights, wrongs, and strengths and weaknesses of the two parties.

"In the past, in the American West, when cowboys dueled, it was allowed to have prostitutes with rotten crotches as witnesses, and they would not ask gringos." Emmanuel patted his right waist.

If there is a company or individual in China who is willing to pay a large sum of money to hold a boxing match between Chen Yu and representatives of the traditional Chinese martial arts community, then Emmanuel would be willing to join.

After all, in his opinion, this was just an easy trip to get a check with Chen Yu, but if the organizer was replaced by a foreign investor, the nature of the boxing match would be easily distorted.

Even if Chen Yu's home base and roots are in Europe and the United States, and even if his boss's parents have become American citizens, he must try his best to avoid certain issues.

Emanuel feels that Feining, who is the former general manager of brand public relations of the English Premier League, should not make such low-level and ridiculous mistakes.

So Emmanuel trained Feining with a gun and a stick for nearly an hour, and threatened that if he dared to play tricks again, he would be sent to the Octagon to play with Chen Yu.

"Well, the second plan that my team and I designed is to invite Gervota Davis, a new generation of American lightweight star boxer, to compete."

Feining specifically added "my team" when talking about this plan. He did not want to bear Emmanuel's coercion, anger and retaliation alone.

Davis was born in 1994. He is currently the current lightweight boxing champion of the International Boxing Federation. Moreover, this kid is an avid fan of Chen Yu, and he has Chen Yu's face tattooed on his chest and back.

There is also a Chinese character tattooed on the biceps of his left arm: Attack then attack.

But it's a pity that Davis' management company: Mayweather Promotions firmly disagrees with letting this kid challenge Chen Yu.

Anyone who has been in the professional boxing circle knows how disgusting "Mr. Money" Floyd Mayweather's mouth is.

But he always spoke highly of Chen Yu, and at the same time admitted that he would not be able to defeat Chen Yu in the octagonal cage.

He also said that Chen Yu's "bee attack" somewhat restrained the defensive counterattack he relied on to dominate the boxing world.

So Mayweather told Fenning's team he couldn't convince himself to send Davis, the twenty-three-year-old lightweight boxing champion, to die.

Although Mayweather flaunts his wealth publicly, privately he loves and cherishes his talents.

Even though he would abuse his girlfriend, he never treated the boxers contracted by the company badly.

But currently Feining’s team is still splitting up its efforts to publicize Mayweather.

As for Davis, his alternative is former British World Boxing Association lightweight boxing champion Liam Walsh.

He is good friends with Pedraza, who was retired by Chen Yu before.

He wants to gain fame and fortune and avenge his good friends. He has a strong desire to fight, but currently he has some problems with his physical condition.

Because Walsh had just finished a nine-round grueling fight in early April, according to the evaluation of the medical team hired by Feining with a large sum of money, even if the fight was postponed for 80 days, it would be difficult for Walsh to survive Chen Yu's ferocious attack. The number of four rounds.

"Mr. Feining, I am very disappointed with your second plan. If you still can't come up with an amazing plan, I will suggest that the tournament organizing committee replace you."

Emmanuel poured Feining a glass of champagne and said leisurely.

Feining, who was holding the cup in hand, hesitated and decided to apologize first, but Emmanuel, who saw his thoughts, directly clicked on the red folder and asked him to quickly discuss the plan.

Last week, the World Boxing Organization gave birth to a boxing champion who holds both the flyweight and lightweight gold belts, Sho Kimura, a "heavy gunner" from Japan.

Kimura Sho was born in Kumagaya, Saitama Prefecture, Japan in 1988. He was the leader of the football club during elementary and middle school, and was twice selected for Japan's junior national team.

But because his personality was too introverted, his interpersonal relationships were very bad, so he had a miserable time in the junior national team of Japan.

So in 2005, he gave up football and joined the boxing club.

Emanuel knows the silent Kimura Sho, the newly rising Japanese "heavy gunner" in the North American professional boxing world.

Kimura Sho has been undefeated in sixteen consecutive games since he suffered a technical knockout in his first professional match.

In March this year he was ranked eighth by the World Boxing Organization.

But Kimura Sho is worse than Chen Yu in all five statistics: height, wingspan, weight and thirty-meter sprint.

Chen Yu's height is 1.76; while Kimura Sho is only 1.72; at the same time, his wingspan is also three centimeters shorter than Chen Yu.

Don't underestimate the tiny gap of three centimeters. If Chen Yu makes good use of it, he can make Kimura Sho afraid of punching easily when moving.

Chen Yu’s current morning fasting weight is 67.3 kilograms;
Kimura Sho weighed in at 63.1 kilograms during his last boxing match.

Even the heavy punches that Kimura Sho is proud of are still far behind Chen Yu, and this opponent is a bit unworthy of the stage.

Kimura Sho's only two advantages may be endurance and bushido.

"So why did you choose Kimura Sho? You must know that this boxing match is held in Munich, not China, and the time difference will weaken the enthusiasm of the Chinese audience."

Emmanuel reminded Feining that the main audience groups for boxing matches are in Europe and America, followed by Southeast Asia and Korea and Japan.

Sho Kimura is indeed well-known and popular in the North American market, but South America and Europe do not recognize him very much.

"Sir, Kimura Sho is Toyota's newly signed global spokesperson." Feining woke up Emmanuel with one sentence.

The organizers of this boxing match include BMW Group and Sony Corporation.

The two of them are old enemies who have been at war with Toyota for many years.

The BMW Group often has scolding wars with Toyota and Hyundai overseas; Sony cannot tolerate Toyota's pretentiousness at home.

If the marketing is done properly, the content of the boxing match can indeed be compiled into a bloody blockbuster involving love and hatred.

In the future, it can rise to national hatred; in the middle, there is the entanglement of the forces behind it; as for the small ones, Kimura Sho collects debts for Nakamura Tai!
Emmanuel clapped his hands and immediately called his chief assistant and ordered him to take Mr. Feining to the hotel to have a good rest.

Now he wants to have a video call with Chen Yu to ask his boss's opinion.
