504 The last fight
The competition venue has been determined, and the next step is to enter the pre-sale stage of the competition. The Bird's Nest is the national stadium and the main venue of the 2008 Yanjing Olympics. The venue can accommodate up to 91,000 spectators.
But this is not the limit of the bird's nest. If the open space is completely opened and the temporary seating space is adjusted, the bird's nest can accommodate more than 100,000 spectators, which is also China's largest and most advanced world super stadium!
At the same time, major sponsors and advertisers have also begun joint bidding. CCTV Sports Channel will join forces with Mango TV and Whale Live, and will use traditional methods to add online cooperation to broadcast this peak event simultaneously.
Moreover, the domestic broadcasting rights for this event alone were sold at a sky-high price of more than 100 million yuan, but this price was divided by Kunlun Live and the five major boxing organizations, and it was not much to Huang Yifei's hands.
But this is just the first step. Whether it is live TV or live broadcast, or even various advertising icons on the players' clothes, they are sold at a very expensive price, because everyone knows that this game has an influence in the world.
These incomes totaled zero, and it was estimated that they would be more than 100 million yuan in advertising fees, not to mention that 100,000 people came and drove surrounding consumption. These are things that could not be measured.
The location was set and the time was finally determined. This battle of the century in the boxing world was set on March 1, 2015, which was the day when China just passed the Lantern Festival. In history, May 6, 2015, it was the day when Mayweather and Pacquiao had a battle of the century in the boxing world, and it was also the peak of the boxing event of billions of dollars.
But this time, the title of glory and history creation will no longer belong to them, only Huang Yifei deserves this title. The reason is very simple, that is, whether it is Mayweather or Pacquiao, they are all defeated players under Huang Yifei. They are no longer able to compete with Huang Yifei in terms of fame.
If you have to say something, only Mayweather and some loyal fans of the white supreme people are still supporting Mayweather. But even so, he will not be able to seek revenge on Huang Yifei. After all, Huang Yifei's current level has already been too far away from Mayweather!
As the competition venue and time were determined, the ticketing website also released the time for booking tickets as soon as possible. This time, the ticketing website set up several times the server, but the result was that the ticketing website was still paralyzed as soon as it was released.
In the end, there was no way. Huang Yifei relied on Alibaba's huge cloud server group to solve the ticket sales problem.
As for the issue of ticket pricing, Huang Yifei personally participated. In history, the ticket price ranged from US$1,500 to US$7,500, which means that the lowest ticket price is 1,500 US$1,500. Even based on the exchange rate ratio of 1 to 6, this is an astonishing figure of RMB 9,000, let alone the highest ticket price of US$7,500.
However, in that battle of the century, the ticket prices were far more than that, and even the supply was in short supply, and it was once speculated to a sky-high price of 140,000 US dollars. Even so, the scene of this boxing match was full.
When Huang Yifei agreed on the fare prices by the five major boxing organizations, the members of the five major boxing organizations planned to follow the rules of the top boxing champion competition, that is, the fare prices start at least 1,000 US dollars, and the highest VIP fare prices are even more than 10,000 US dollars.
But Huang Yifei knew that this place was China, not the United States. With such a sky-high ticket price, there may be many die-hard fans who are willing to pay for their own games. But Huang Yifei also knew that there were only a few fans who could really pay this money without any pressure.
Therefore, Huang Yifei strongly lowered the ticket prices. The ticket prices sold on Chinese ticketing websites are calculated in RMB, that is, between 1,500 yuan and 7,500 yuan. The pre-sale ticket prices of foreign ticketing websites, especially some developed countries, are calculated in US dollars.
Although the five major boxing organizations are very dissatisfied with Huang Yifei's pricing behavior, Huang Yifei's current value has exceeded their control. More importantly, Huang Yifei himself owns Kunlun Fighting. If it is really a stalemate, Huang Yifei will pull Klitschko to fight his Kunlun Fighting, so there is no so-called boxing champion belt of the four major organizations, but Huang Yifei believes that World Boxing will still recognize the title of this uncrowned king.
But Huang Yifei underestimated the influence of this game. The 100,000 tickets were sold out almost on the first day of release. Moreover, in order to prevent scalpers from hyping, each person is allowed to purchase only two tickets per number and each address.
Looking at such a crazy sales scene, Jiang Hua said to Huang Yifei a little emotion: "Yifei, if you start at US$1,500, even if you sell half of the tickets, the average price of US$3,500 in the middle is a sky-high price of more than US$170 million. If you reduce the price in China like this, the maximum ticket price income is less than US$200 million, and the income has been reduced too much."
Hearing Jiang Hua's words, Huang Yifei just smiled and said, "I didn't plan to make money in this boxing match, but wanted more fighting enthusiasts in China to experience what the world's peak boxing match was like. And I have earned enough money, so it's better for people to learn to be satisfied."
"Yifei, have you ever thought about what else you want to do if this boxing match is over?"
Hearing Jiang Hua’s question, Huang Yifei was silent. In fact, he had been thinking about this question for a long time, but many things were not so easy to make decisions.
"Retire the military and then open the Kunlun Gymnasium around the world, so that the whole world will be overturned by Chinese fighting!"
"I just retired, I'm too young. In fact, you'll have no problem with playing for ten years."
In terms of age, Huang Yifei is indeed not very old. He is only 24 years old this year. At most, he is only 25 years old. This is definitely the peak period of a fighting player.
But in terms of results, this heavyweight unified punch champion is probably Huang Yifei's final glory. Because even if it is mixed martial arts and free fighting, Huang Yifei won the world championship. More importantly, with the collapse of K1 and the retreat of UFC, Kunlun Fighting and Kunlun Klf have become the de facto world's number one fighting event.
As the boss of Kunlun fighting, Huang Yifei could not continue in his own competition forever, and the number of false parliament he suffered greatly increased.
"Because I have no pursuit anymore, when a person has no pursuit, he cannot still maintain the championship heart. In the end, he was defeated because of his lack of fighting spirit and retired in disgrace. Brother Hua, I believe you must also remember what he said when he walked off the ring after being defeated in the battle of Tyson's retirement, right?"
Huang Yifei's words made Jiang Hua silent. He naturally remembered the battle of Tyson's retirement. When Tyson was knocked down on the ring by an unknown third-rate boxer in the last battle, he apologized to all fans in the media interview, saying that he still played games just for money, not for the victory. His ambition had long disappeared, just to support his family.
Huang Yifei doesn't want to be the end of Tyson, and he is not short of money now. In order to make money on the ring, rather than to the heart of the boxing champion who defeats his opponent, Huang Yifei will eventually become the next Tyson. Instead of doing this, it's better to retire with his own legend!
The conversation ended like this. Jiang Hua did not tell anyone about Huang Yifei's absoluteness, and Huang Yifei was still sweating profusely at the Chicago boxing training base with the original heart of the championship at that moment.
At the same time, the entire team was like a crazy spinning motor, serving Huang Yifei. Because they all knew the importance of this event, it was also possible that everyone would have an involuntary idea in their hearts, that is, this might be Huang Yifei's last boxing match!
Even during the Chinese New Year, no one went home and was still training wildly with Huang Yifei. Perhaps Huang Yifei's training intensity during this period exceeded any time before, and this state continued until he was about to return to China at the end of February.
When he returned to China, Huang Yifei suffered an unprecedented reception at the airport. Tens of thousands of boxing fans came outside the airport at the Capital International Airport and shouted Huang Yifei's name frantically. Even this kind of scene forced the police to send more police forces to maintain order.
Huang Yifei was extremely excited when he saw this scene, because he knew that many people regarded himself as a hero. If Bruce Lee gave Kung Fu his own position in the world film industry back then, then Huang Yifei was really making Chinese fighting and stood at the peak of the world. Those who once looked down on Chinese fighting can only look up at Huang Yifei with their eyes.
Even in many places abroad, when someone calls Chinese guys and yellow monkeys contemptuously, many people can refute with confidence that the most powerful man in the world is Chinese. If you have the ability, ask your most powerful white and black guys to fight Huang Yifei! If you can't beat him, don't give up!
If it is more ostentatious, you can point to someone else's nose and say, you white and black people are really nothing to beat!
However, Huang Yifei did not stay in Yanjing for too long, nor did he continue training in Yanjing. Instead, Liang Feng took him and the two of them took a low-key plane to the old training room of Xingcheng Sports Institute.
But today's training room cannot be described as old. As Huang Yifei becomes more and more famous, this training room has almost become a holy place for Chinese fighting. Countless fans and boxing enthusiasts want to come and see Huang Yifei's dream of starting.
Later, the Sports Institute planned to decorate the place as a celebrity attraction, and even replaced the training equipment inside. However, at the critical moment, Liang Feng stopped this behavior and still maintained his original appearance.
It was already evening when Huang Yifei and Liang Feng came to the sports hall. Because there were too many tourists and fans during the day, Liang Feng and Huang Yifei wanted to take a look quietly.
When he opened the door of this training room, Huang Yifei looked at the familiar scene inside and felt very moved. In his early years, he would come here during the Chinese New Year and have a drink with coach Wang Tao and the others. However, as his fame became more and more popular, he came here less and less. Huang Yifei forgot when he came here last time.
"Yifei, do you know why I chose to bring you here at this time?"
"I know, you want me to remember the original heart of the boxing champion!"
Huang Yifei answered while walking towards the wall, and there were still portraits of many famous people in the boxing world, but the portrait of Tyson in the middle was vacant. Because Liang Feng directly tore up this portrait back then, just to tell Huang Yifei not to be Tyson second, but to be himself and become the number one Huang Yifei!
"Yes, so many years have passed in a flash, and you are only one step away from the heavyweight unified punch champion. As long as you defeat Klitschko Jr., your dream that year will come true."
After saying this, Liang Feng just smiled and retorted: "No, it has actually been realized. After all, I just wanted to see you become a professional boxing champion. You have surpassed my expectations at the beginning."
After hearing this, Huang Yifei smiled, turned around and looked at Liang Feng and said with a smile: "Coach, you told me back then that you should have the heart of a boxing champion. Do you really think I will become a boxing champion?"
Hearing Huang Yifei's question, Liang Feng showed an embarrassing expression on his face. Then he sat on the ring and said to Huang Yifei: "Silly boy, I just wanted you to train carefully and draw a big cake. Don't talk about you anymore. At that time, I didn't have confidence in my coaching level, so how dare I think of a boxing champion!"
"Damn, you were really fooling me back then!" Although Huang Yifei had guessed this answer a long time ago, he thought what if the coach saw that he was talented and had the ability to become a boxing champion? As a result, he never expected that the coach was really honest and just talking, just drawing a big cake!
Looking at Huang Yifei's dissatisfied expression on his face, Liang Feng burst into laughter at this time. This kid still looked as shameless as he had at the time, hoping to hear the praise.
However, after laughing, Liang Feng looked at Huang Yifei and said in a very serious tone: "I also remember what you said, that is, you still have to have dreams, otherwise what is the difference between it and salted fish?"
