Chapter 707: Emperor Heye Will Win?

"Zhang Guan is crazy! "

This provocative headline appeared on the sports pages of major European media, instantly attracting readers' attention.

In front of a coffee shop on the streets of England, people are enjoying the good time of afternoon tea while talking about the new things in the newspaper.

"Zhang Guan really accepted the challenge of Emperor Haiye. I thought he was just talking about it later. I didn't expect that the time of the match had already been set! So he really wants to fight with Emperor Haiye? He really It's crazy!" a man said.

Boxing is a sport of talking more than doing it. Two boxers have been fighting with each other for a year or two. They kept talking to each other, yelling loudly that they want to beat each other into dogs, but they just couldn’t fight. This situation Very common. Sometimes two boxers may have scolded each other in the media for most of their lives, and they did not fight once until they retired.

In a situation like Zhang Guan's, it doesn't fit people's understanding of boxing to directly agree on a time to fight without saying a word.

In fact, the vast majority of people felt that Zhang Guan accepted David Haye's challenge, just talking, even if he really wanted to fight, the game would not be possible in a short time. David Haye is different from the previous Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury is just a rookie, but David Haye is a boxing champion after all. A boxing champion will spend a lot of money in preparation for a fight. Time, it is normal to start preparations for the competition even a year in advance. But now it was less than a week from Zhang Guan's challenge to the time of the match, and less than ten days before the match, which was really too fast for a boxing match with boxing champions participating.

And more importantly, no one thinks that Zhang Guan will really fight David Haye.

David Haye is a boxing champion with three gold belts in his hand. In terms of strength, he can definitely be ranked among the top five in the world, and he is even ranked among the top three in the world. I believe many people will agree. If this is placed in the 100-meter sprint event, David Haye's status is almost equivalent to that of Powell. Just imagine a non-sprinter competing with Powell in the 100-meter race, and the result will definitely lose to Powell.

If you lose in a sprint competition, you lose. You lose face at worst, but boxing is different. When you lose in boxing, you will also be severely beaten by your opponent. In other words, not only will you lose face, but you will also suffer physically. Being beaten up by a heavyweight boxing champion, and he is also the top heavyweight boxing champion in the world, is something worth fearing when you think about it.

"Zhang Guan really wants to fight with David Haye? He is really crazy! David Haye's heavy punch may kill a cow with one punch, and most people will be hit by David Haye One punch, even if you don't get beaten to death, you still have to lie down in the hospital for ten days and a half months!"

"I really admire Zhang Guan's guts. One-on-one with a heavyweight boxing champion, how is that different from courting death? I really don't understand why Zhang Guan would fight, maybe he is really crazy!"

"Zhang Guan is not stupid. Didn't you see that he asked for an appearance fee of 20 million pounds? If it were me, I would have a 20 million pound appearance fee, and I would be willing to go up and get punched by Emperor Haiye!"

"Do you think Emperor Heye's fist is paper? 20 million pounds, you have to live to enjoy it! If he hits your head with a fist, he will really kill someone, even if he can't. , beat you into a vegetative state, and you have no chance to spend the 20 million pounds. I think Zhang Guan is for the 20 million pounds, even dying! This newspaper is right, he is really crazy!"

...

While ordinary people are talking about Zhang Guan and the 20 million pounds, as the organizer, Sebastian is also having a headache for the 20 million pounds appearance fee. In addition, David Haye also needs a lot of money In addition to the appearance fee, the organizer also needs to pay a large amount of bonuses for the competition, plus the entire operation cost of the competition. For this challenge, the organizer estimates that it will cost 40 to 50 million pounds.

Such a large amount of money cannot be changed out of thin air. Even Sebastian did not dare to mobilize 40 to 50 million pounds from the Olympic funds in one go, so he also began to seek the help of sponsors.

The first thing Sebastian thought of was of course the major gaming companies in the UK. Boxing has always been associated with gambling. Big and small boxing competitions in the UK will always be sponsored by gaming companies, so after the date of the match is decided, Sebastian immediately contacted several British players. A big gaming company, I hope they can sponsor the game.

In the office, Sebastian crossed his legs, held a pen in his hand, and drew on the paper.

"I found eight gaming companies in total. If a gaming company can pay 5 million pounds in sponsorship fees, it will be 40 million pounds. The TV broadcasting rights should be able to sell another 2 to 3 million pounds. With this price, plus the tickets collected, I should be able to make ends meet! Maybe I don’t need to take money from the Olympic funds at all, and I can finish the game.” Sebastian thought quite satisfied road.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary walked in from the outside.

"Mr. Chairman, out of the eight gaming companies, five of them have already responded to us." The secretary's expression was a little dignified, obviously the news he brought was not good.

"Isn't the situation very optimistic? Is it him? Do you think the sponsorship fee of 5 million pounds is too much? How much do they come up with? 4 million? Or 3 million?" Sebastian asked, but he was thinking, If there is less sponsorship fee of more than 10 million pounds, he can also accept it.

"There are three companies that have clearly rejected our request for sponsorship fees, and the other two companies are willing to pay 1 million pounds." The secretary said.

"What? I'm only willing to pay 1 million pounds. Isn't that only 2 million pounds?" Sebastian immediately sat upright.

"It's not one million, but the two companies are willing to pay a total of one million pounds." The secretary added.

Sebastian's face suddenly darkened, unexpectedly, he did a math problem that one plus one equals two, but the money was lost by 1 million.

"There are three other companies that are unwilling to pay. Why? Have you mentioned my name to the gaming company?" Sebastian asked.

"I mentioned your name. In fact, the other two companies were not willing to pay a sponsorship fee before. After they heard your name, they were willing to pay a sponsorship fee of 500,000 pounds." The secretary paused, and then said : "They think that this game is not profitable, and may even lose money, so they are not keen on sponsoring the game."

"No profit? How could there be no profit? This game has attracted the attention of the whole of Britain and even Europe!" Sebastian asked.

"Although the game has attracted much attention, the survey results of the gaming company show that this will be a one-sided game. David Haye is the boxing champion. There is no suspense for him to win, so even if the odds are already very tight Low, lottery players are betting on David Haye, and gaming companies believe that the more players bet, the less profit they will make, so they are unwilling to spend money as sponsorship fees for the game.”

After hearing the secretary's words, Sebastian sat down on the chair slumped.
