Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 564 The Significance of Training

"Hiss~"

At noon the next day, when De La Hoya walked into the training ground wearing a yellow sports vest and a white towel, he suddenly found Link immersed in training and couldn't help but take a breath.

It had only been one day since the competition, and the news had not yet cooled down. Link, the person involved, came to the boxing gym to train, leaving no time for himself to rest.

Too cruel.

This guy deserves to be a super boxing champion.

De La Hoya glanced at the training area and found that some of the boxers under his hands were training, some were chatting, and some were lying on chairs playing with their mobile phones. He suddenly became angry.

If these guys can be as hard-working and as self-disciplined as Link, Golden Boy Promotions can have a few more world boxing champions, and the company can make millions more.

Hoya snorted coldly and prepared to find a target to scare the monkeys.

"Mario, it's training time, what are you doing?"

Hoya looked at Morales with a dark face and felt that this guy was a good target.

Morales glanced up at him, ignored him, and continued typing on his phone.

De La Hoya was furious. He was not only the boss of Golden Boy Promotions, but also Morales’ agent, coach, and consultant. When he was talking to Morales, this guy dared to ignore him. It was so disrespectful to him as a boss. .

"Mario, look at Link. He is the number one player in P4P and is super powerful. People like him come to train right after the game and don't dare to slack off for a day. Look at you again. You are training. If you play with your mobile phone all the time and don’t seek to improve, if you do this, you will be defeated in the next title defense.”

Hoya shouted with a serious expression.

The other boxers heard his words and silently got up to train.

Morales rolled his eyes, "You are becoming more and more like a black-hearted capitalist. You only see us resting but not the sweat on our bodies? You are meaner than the plantation owners two hundred years ago."

"Just finished training? Haha, that's okay. You can continue to rest. I just remind you to train harder and become more and more powerful like Link."

Hoya laughed.

"I want you to teach me?"

Morales snorted, "I have read your previous reports. I heard that every time you finish a game, you will find a group of women to hang out, eat, drink, whore, gamble, and spend more money than anyone else. You have the nerve to teach me. ?”

De La Hoya's face darkened and he glared at Morales, "Don't talk nonsense. Those news are fabricated by the media and are spreading rumors to slander me. I used to be like Link. After every game, I would rest for at most one or two days." I will go back to the boxing gym and train hard, and there will be no such mess. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Morales opened the photo library on his phone, pulled out one and shook it at Hoya, bared his white teeth and smiled, saying that the Internet has memory.

When Hoya saw the photo, he felt like he was struck by lightning, his bronze face turned black and red, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched hard several times, and he felt extremely embarrassed.

That photo was taken by him in 2003. In the photo, he was wearing black high heels, triangle shorts, and full-length black fishnet stockings. He also wore red gloves from his shoulders to his feet, posing very enchantingly. posture.

In addition, he took a lot of medicine at that time, his face was flushed, and his eyes were blurry.

At first, the photos were only stored on his mobile phone. Later, they were exposed by hackers and posted online. His public image plummeted, and his persona of a boxing gentleman and a noble man also became a mess.

When he fought Mayweather in 2007, Mayweather used this photo to create hype, making his reputation even worse.

This photo was the biggest scandal in his life, and it made him want to die every time he saw it.

But this **** Morales slapped him in the face?

"Uh, Hoya, I'm joking, yes, I'm joking, I don't mean anything else, don't be angry."

When Morales saw De La Hoya's face turning red and his eyes filled with murderous intent, he immediately knew that the joke was too big. He quickly put away his phone and ran to the sandbag to practice without even daring to raise his head.

Hoya clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths.

—

Bang bang bang!

Link waved his fists and hit the sandbag hard, never stopping as long as he still had the strength.

For others, practicing boxing is to defeat opponents and get more gold belts.

For him, the main purpose of practicing boxing is to improve his physical fitness, keep getting stronger, and see what his potential is. If he practices for another ten years, will his fists weigh more than 3,000 pounds? Will the speed be faster, and the body's endurance will be stronger?

This feeling is like practicing martial arts. If you practice for one more hour, your strength will be higher. If you practice for one more year, your strength will be stronger than last year.

This is why he persists better than others. "Link, you are already very powerful, why do you still have to work so hard?"

Hoya asked as he came over and leaned against another sandbag.

"I haven't won the heavyweight gold belt of the four major organizations yet, so I naturally have to train seriously."

Link wiped his sweat, picked up the sports drink on the stool and took a sip.

“Even Deontay is no match for you, and I don’t think Alexander Povetkin is a problem either.”

"I will say this after I get the WBA gold belt."

Link tightened the bandage on his palm and continued to deal damage to the sandbag.

All the muscle tissues on the body have become stronger and stronger during training. The inverted triangle back contour, the bulging scapular muscles and latissimus dorsi muscles, and the metallic skin look particularly strong.

De La Hoya is very envious of Link's current state. He trains and plays games every day and earns 100 million, no, 200 million US dollars per game. This guy invested his game winnings and earned 20 billion in five or six years.

Too perverted.

Link has lived a life that is envied by all his peers.

Sometimes De La Hoya regrets retiring early. He is 41 years old this year. There are still many people of this age in the boxing world, such as James Toney, Hopkins, Holyfield, etc. If he had not retired, he could be like Lin Do this, train seriously, prepare actively for the next victory.

It's a pity that I can't go back.

De La Hoya shook his head, put on his gloves and prepared to spar with Morales.

After Link's training in the afternoon, De La Hoya, who had a bruised nose and face, came to ask him to go to the bar for a drink. Link refused. He didn't think it would be good to get himself drunk. If he had time to drink, it would be better to spend time with Ivaca and Sanxiao at home. .

During this time, Taylor was preparing for his fifth official album. He was busy writing songs and collecting songs every day, and had no time to take care of the little ones. Now Alexander and Cynthia are living in a mountainside villa, taking classes and playing with little Margarita.

When Link has time, he spends time with the little ones at home or takes them to the playground.

And "American Sniper" is about to start shooting. He is also preparing for the shooting recently, mainly practicing guns to make himself like a sniper before shooting. When he has time, he will also find director Clint Eastwood Discuss the script and characters.

This play is his highlight of the year and must be taken seriously.

In its fourth week of release, "Captain America 2" has grossed US$287 million in North American box office, US$464 million in overseas box office, and US$751 million in global box office, temporarily ranking fourth among all Marvel movies.

This week, after three weeks of release, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" took in a box office of US$60.52 million in North America, becoming Lionsgate's fifth film with a box office of over 50 million in North America this year.

The box office performance in overseas regions was better, with a cumulative total of 131 million US dollars.

The total box office is close to 200 million, and the production cost of this movie is only 25 million.

Also this week, as the summer season is approaching, Lionsgate Films' seventh film this year, "Divergent: Awakening," is released.

The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Veronica Roth. It tells the story of a group of young men and women struggling for freedom. The film is mainly aimed at young audiences, similar to "The Twilight Saga" and "The Hunger Games". ", is also one of Lionsgate's flagship commercial films this year.

The movie was released in 3,936 theaters in North America on May 2. It grossed US$54.6 million in the three days of the weekend, ranking first at the weekly box office.

Ranked second is "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", which was released last week. The film received 45.48 million box office in its second week, and the cumulative box office reached 155 million. It is also Sony Pictures' main commercial movie this year.

During the second weekend of "Divergent"'s release, the North American box office just exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars, reaching 101 million. It is also Lionsgate's third film this year to achieve a box office of over 100 million U.S. dollars in North America.

Although this data is not as good as the box office of the first part of the "Hunger Games" and "Twilight" series, it does not suffer losses like "Ender's Game", which is good news for Lionsgate.

The film was released in 36 countries and regions overseas for about ten days, with a cumulative box office of US$113 million.

Compared with the production cost of US$78 million, this result is not bad.

If the total box office reaches 300 million, Lionsgate Pictures' profit will be around 80 million.

However, as the summer season approaches, blockbuster films have been released in the North American film market one after another, including Paramount's "Transformers: Age of Extinction", Fox Pictures' "X-Men: Days of Future Past", "War for the Planet of the Apes", and Warner Bros. "Godzilla" and "300: Rise of an Empire" produced by Sony Pictures, "The Boys 2" by Sony Pictures, etc.

Compared with last year, although there are fewer commercial blockbusters such as "Iron Man 3", "Superman: Man of Steel" and "Fast and Furious 6", the competition at the box office is still fierce. If "Divergent 1" wants to get a total of 300 million Box office is not an easy task either.
