Chapter 243: Rhine Boxing Club’s Sincerity and Wang Hao’s Plan

| | | -> -> When Wang Hao reached out to shake hands with the middle-aged Caucasian man, he remembered the identity of the man.

The two met in Kiev, Ukraine more than two years ago. At that time, Wang Hao had just won the gold medal in the World Youth Boxing Championship. The white man claimed to be a partner of the Rhine Boxing Club in Germany. He took the initiative to communicate with Wang Hao and left Wang Hao a business card.

And promised to Wang Hao that if he intends to join the Rhine Boxing Club, he will give Wang Hao very superior treatment.

However, Wang Hao was still a young boxer at that time. Although he yearned for professional boxing in his heart, the timing was not suitable for Wang Hao, so Wang Hao rejected the other party's invitation and did not contact him again.

"I'm the owner of the Rhine Boxing Club in Germany. Just call me William!" The middle-aged white man was still thinking when he saw Wang Hao. Knowing that Wang Hao might have forgotten him, he introduced himself very politely, "I'm very happy." See you again!"

"I'm glad to meet you too!" Wang Hao held each other's hands forcefully.

Germans like to use a lot of strength when shaking hands and shake them vigorously. They can hold hands for a long time. The longer the handshake time and the greater the force, it means that the relationship with the other party is more cherished.

Wang Hao felt that the other party should have exerted all his strength to shake hands with him, and kept shaking hands. Wang Hao had no choice but to hold the other party's hand vigorously.

Wang Hao remembered that more than two years ago, when William recruited him, he still claimed to be one of the partners of the Rhine Boxing Club. Now he has claimed to be the boss. Obviously, William is doing well in boxing.

And this shows that William is very dedicated to managing boxing, otherwise he would not have improved so fast. You must know that there are many famous boxing promoters and clubs in Europe.

"Mr. Wang Hao! I learned that you are fighting in the World Boxing Championships in Hamburg. This should be your first time participating in an international adult boxing competition!" William continued, "Congratulations, you have reached the semi-finals! I believe that this session The World Championship Champion is likely to be you! The AIBA has underestimated you by placing you only 23rd in the 64kg class!"

Wang Hao secretly thought that this William knew him very well. He even knew that it was his first time to participate in an international adult boxing competition, and he also knew his current results. Wang Hao knew that William must have put a lot of thought into him.

"Since I saw you last time, my personal career, as well as that of the Rhine Boxing Club, have developed significantly. The Rhine Boxing Club is already the most famous boxing club on the European continent, and it is also the most successful organization in promoting competitions." William continued to introduce.

"As you just saw, Naseem Hamed's featherweight boxing champion defense and Vitali Klitschko's boxing champion challenge are the ones we are responsible for promoting. How can it be considered a success?" William smiled He continued, "Although we only sold half of the live tickets, this is already a very astonishing figure for a stadium of 100,000 people like Werner March. Including the TV broadcast fee of the game, all the tickets for this game The sales performance can exceed 40 million US dollars."

"In the two world boxing championships, whether it is the boxing champion or the challenger, the appearance fees have exceeded one million dollars." William continued, obviously trying to tell Wang Hao that Rhine Boxing Club is very strong.

Wang Hao also nodded when he heard what William said.

A boxing match, not held in the United States, can still sell 50,000 to 60,000 live tickets,

It is indeed a very dazzling number.

The appearance fee of the boxing champion challenge can exceed one million US dollars. Wang Hao thinks it is not bad. A normal number for Leigh Klitschko.

Of course, William said more than one million, and Wang Hao knew that for Naseem Hamed and Herbie Hyde, it should be several million.

From William's narration, Wang Hao also felt the strength of the Rhine Boxing Club, which was indeed very good, and Wang Hao knew that William said so much and cared so much about himself, so he naturally wanted to draw himself into the Rhine Boxing Club.

And Wang Hao actually has plans to join European and American professional boxing clubs at this time, because next year is the Olympic Games, Wang Hao will definitely enter the field of professional boxing after next year's Olympic Games, and it is impossible to compete in another Olympic Games or World Championships.

Although Wang Hao is still very young after the Olympics next year, he can almost be said to be the youngest boxer in adult boxing. For boxers in the system, they will often fight in the World Championships and the Olympics again.

But for Wang Hao, the Olympic Games and the World Championships are for the gilding of professional boxing in the future, just like college students go to a good university in order to find a good job. Get smoother, and increase experience and hone skills.

If Wang Hao plays well enough in this World Championships and next year's Olympic Games, there will be no need to continue to fight amateur boxing, and Wang Hao will enter the field of professional boxing without hesitation.

Therefore, the Wang Hao now is different from what it was more than two years ago, and he is already thinking about choosing a professional boxing club and a promoter.

And according to Wang Hao's plan, Wang Hao's professional boxing career is likely to start in Europe first.

On the one hand, this is because many outstanding professional boxers first fight in Europe and then land in the United States, such as Golovkin and Vasily Lomachenko in Wang Hao's previous life. On the other hand, Wang Hao also considered Huang Yueying's factor.

If there is no accident, Huang Yueying will study abroad at the University of Munich next year. In order to continue the relationship between the two, Wang Hao will also choose Europe as the place where he will develop his professional boxing.

In this way, the remaining problem is to choose a good professional boxing club and a good promoter in Europe.

Undoubtedly, the Rhine Boxing Club is a very good choice, because the Rhine Boxing Club integrates boxer training and event promotion, and can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, more than two years ago, the Rhine Boxing Club promised him a very generous treatment. I believe that after more than two years, his strength has improved, and the Rhine Boxing Club has also improved. Wang Hao believes that the current William will give My own treatment will only be more, not less.

However, Wang Hao definitely didn't make a decision so quickly. Now everything is William's one-sided opinion. Wang Hao still needs to inspect the Rhine Boxing Club before making a decision.

Seeing the change in Wang Hao's expression, William continued: "Our club now has more big-level boxers, and fewer small- and medium-level boxers. You must know that the popularity and commerciality of light and middleweight classes are very important. The value is not much worse than the heavyweight!"

"Lightweight and middleweight boxers are fast, and their knockout rate is not bad. Now in the world of professional boxing, the market power of this area is almost equal to that of heavyweight!"

William continued.

"But it's a pity that we still have world-class heavyweight boxers. Vitaly Klitschko is a boxer in our club! But almost all world-class boxers in lightweight and middleweight are in the United States and Mexico , as well as some small countries like Puerto Rico and Costa Rica, which we lack in continental Europe.”

William's words gave Wang Hao a very important piece of information, that is, Vitali Klitschko is a boxer of the Rhine Boxing Club, which is information that Wang Hao did not grasp before.

Although Wang Hao and Vitali Klitschko have a good personal relationship, Wang Hao never asked about the club Vitali Klitschko played for before, so Wang Hao never knew that Vitali Klitschko was actually a Fighters of the Rhine Boxing Club.

In this case, Wang Hao knew that he wanted to know about the Rhine Boxing Club, so he could just learn about it from Vitaly Klitschko, which would save a lot of trouble.

As for what William said about the lack of lightweight and middleweight fighters in Europe, Wang Hao, who has already experienced in his previous life, naturally understands it quite well.

In the last life, from the earliest middleweight four little kings in the 1990s, to the Mexican Three Musketeers, to Mayweather and Pacquiao, except for Pacquiao who is Asian, almost all of them are American.

Although there are two or three well-known lightweight or middleweight boxers in Europe, such as Naseem Hamed and Rich Hatton, they are all British, and their influence and strength are not as good as those of the middleweight four juniors. Uranus and the Mexican Three Musketeers.

Needless to say, Naseem Hamed was beaten and retired by Barrera. Rich Hatton was a parallel import packaged by a British. When he landed in the United States, everyone discovered that he was actually swimming naked. .

Rich Hatton was brutally knocked out by Mayweather and Pacquiao successively, and returned to his hometown in England.

Therefore, Wang Hao actually understood William very well when he said that they lacked excellent lightweight or middleweight fighters, and Wang Hao also showed sincerity that William was able to speak out so frankly that he was not afraid that he would charge a high price for it.

William finally said: "Mr. Wang Hao! We really need an excellent middle-level boxer like you. Please join us. We will provide you with the best training and living conditions. In terms of basic treatment, I will also give you a far superior boxer." The treatment of ordinary boxers in our club."

Wang Hao nodded. He felt William's sincerity, but Wang Hao hadn't made a decision so quickly. He had to think about it, especially to learn about the actual situation of the Rhine Boxing Club from Vitali Klitschko.

Wang Hao replied: "I have no way to give you an answer to this matter at present. I will at least wait until the end of this session of the World Championships before I can give you a definite information on whether to join or not."

William nodded. He knew that Wang Hao must still have time to think about it. William replied: "Well, think about it. I look forward to seeing you after you finish playing the World Championships. I can tell you about the treatment in advance. If you want Join the Rhine Boxing Club, we are willing to give you a basic annual salary of 150,000 US dollars, and we will cover all the expenses for board and lodging, competitions, coaches and training! Then we can give you the full amount of the appearance fee for the competition, TV broadcasting, and tickets We can also give you a superior share of income!"

Hearing what William said, Wang Hao once again felt the sincerity of the Rhine Boxing Club.

The basic annual salary of 150,000 yuan is already equivalent to one million yuan. This was undoubtedly an astronomical figure in China in the mid-1990s. At this time, most workers in the country only received a monthly salary of a few hundred yuan.

And for the boxer to be given the full amount of the appearance fee for the game, this treatment is also very rare, which shows that the Rhine Boxing Club team is eager for Wang Hao's money.

You must know that for a professional boxer, under normal circumstances, his appearance fee is shared with the coaching team, but Wang Hao's entire appearance fee belongs to himself. Naturally, the Rhine Boxing Club bears the part of the coaching team.

Moreover, based on the basic annual salary and the level of appearance fees that do not need to be shared, Wang Hao knew that the Rhine Boxing Club's broadcast and ticket share for him must also be very competitive.

Wang Hao replied with a smile: "Mr. William! Thank you for your trust. I have received all your messages, and I will consider them carefully!"

Wang Hao stretched out his hand and shook William's hand again.

William held Wang Hao's right hand vigorously again, and shook it for a long time, showing that William attached great importance to Wang Hao.

At the celebration of Vitali Klitschko that day, Wang Hao naturally learned about the situation of the Rhine Boxing Club from Vitali Klitschko in time.

Vitaly Klitschko spoke highly of the Rhine Boxing Club, and he told Wang Hao that the Rhine Boxing Club is the best in continental Europe in terms of hardware facilities, coaching team, and competition operations.

Looking at the whole of Europe, only the UK's Sky Sports and one or two agents it partners with can surpass the Rhine Boxing Club.

Vitali Klitschko himself is very satisfied with the cooperation with the Rhine Boxing Club over the past two years. Vitali Klitschko can gain high respect in the Rhine Boxing Club as long as the boxer is strong enough .

Wang Hao also asked some questions about the contract with the Rhine Boxing Club, because Wang Hao was worried about whether there would be some harsh contract conditions, because although Wang Hao chose to enter the professional boxing field in Europe, he would definitely enter the United States after a few years of fighting .

Wang Hao plans to take the same path as Golovkin and Vasily Lomachenko, first in Europe and then in the United States.

In this regard, Vitaly Klitschko also gave Wang Hao a reassuring answer.

Vitaly Klitschko told Wang Hao that the Rhine Boxing Club usually signs a five-year contract with the boxer. If they leave within the contract period, they must pay a certain amount of compensation, but the compensation will not be very large, usually between US$300,000 Inside.

Hearing the information provided by Vitaly Klitschko, Wang Hao was also relieved a lot, and his favor towards the Rhine Boxing Club also increased a lot. The compensation liability of the Rhine Boxing Club for this breach of contract is not high.

Of course, if Wang Hao signed a five-year contract with the Rhine Boxing Club, he would try his best to complete the five-year fight. Five years is enough for Wang Hao to complete twenty bouts. It was just the right result for landing in the United States, and Huang Yueying also graduated from the University of Munich at that time.

After attending Vitaly Klitschko's celebration party, Wang Hao returned to Hamburg early the next morning after staying in Berlin for the night. Contest.

When Wang Hao returned to the training venue of the Chinese national team, he found that an important acquaintance was already waiting for him.
