Lewis had another ghostly expression on his face.
Muhammad Ali is not only a legend in the boxing world, but also a legend in the sports world. When Americans choose the best athletes in their hearts, Michael Jordan can only be ranked second, and the first is Muhammad Ali.
The butterfly step is Ali's legendary footwork. This step is also called Ali's slide. When people mention Ali, the first thing they think of is the butterfly step. This kind of smooth sliding step, coupled with Ali's unexpected punches while moving, will always dwarf all opponents. Ali's agility and clever movement allow Ali to deliver the most entertaining boxing in the round. Because this footwork is so elegant, it is like a butterfly dancing, so it is known as the butterfly step. The emergence of the butterfly step turned Ali's boxing from a sport into an art!
Since the emergence of Ali's butterfly step, countless boxers have wanted to learn this magical footwork, but no one can master it. No heavyweight boxer can have Ali's flexible torso, and even if his movements are flexible enough, he doesn't have Ali's abnormal physical strength.
The range of Ali's butterfly steps is larger than that of ordinary steps, and the frequency of movements is also faster. Therefore, it seems that Ali's movements will be very flexible, but this also means that more physical energy will be consumed. Even if a boxer does it, If you know how to use the butterfly step, you will definitely not be able to last for twelve rounds.
Moreover, in Ali's era, professional boxing did not have twelve rounds, but fifteen rounds, and the frequency of attacks between boxers was more frequent than now. Therefore, the boxers of that era were very physically strong, and Ali had to Using Butterfly Step to complete fifteen rounds shows how strong his physical strength is.
Any professional boxer will regard Ali as an idol, and so does Lewis. When he was young, he also tried to learn the butterfly step, but unfortunately, even with Lewis's level, he couldn't do it like Ali. In Ali's eyes, Butterfly Step became an unattainable existence.
It can be said that in Lewis' eyes, Ali's butterfly step is a dream-like existence.
But now, Lewis actually saw the butterfly step on Zhang Guan!
"Butterfly step! It's the butterfly step! I read it right, that elegant movement just now is the butterfly step! Since Ali retired, I actually saw the butterfly step again, and someone can use the butterfly step again!" At this moment, Lewis has already Lost the ability to think.
…
Tyson Fury looks complacent at this time. Next to him, the agent said: "I have negotiated with Zhang Guan's agent team, and the match between you will be held on July 17."
"July 17th, that's more than half a month away! I originally thought I would have to find a venue myself, but I didn't expect someone to be so willing to host the game, and it was our Olympic Organizing Committee who came forward to host it." Tyson Fury said said.
"And there is also a bonus of 1 million pounds and an appearance fee of 3 million pounds." The agent next to him said.
Not all boxing matches are hosted by someone. First of all, hosting the match itself requires money; secondly, the match must have some bonuses. As long as it is not a charity match, bonuses must be given to the contestants; thirdly, the appearance fee, the more famous players are , the more the appearance fee will be. Therefore, if there are not enough sponsors, sometimes the organizer of a competition will lose money.
A boxer's salary mainly consists of two parts. One part is of course the competition prize money. The higher the level of competition, the greater the prize money. In the top league's gold belt competition, the competition prize money can reach hundreds of millions of dollars.
The other part is the appearance fee. The bigger the boxer is, the more the appearance fee will be. For a top boxer in the world, the appearance fee will also be hundreds of millions of dollars for a match.
Although Zhang Guan is famous, he is not a professional boxer, and Tyson Fury has not achieved any results yet. He is still just a young player with potential, not a well-known boxer. The appearance fees and bonuses of the two , of course not very high. Moreover, when Sebastian hosts the competition, he is talking about the British Olympic Committee’s money, which is public money. Naturally, it is impossible to throw away tens of millions of pounds. However, based on the British consumption level, this money is enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime. Yes.
Just listen to Tyson Fury ask: "How to divide the appearance fee and bonus? Is it according to the conventional distribution method?"
The bonuses and appearance fees mentioned in boxing matches are a total amount, and the specific distribution between the two boxers must be negotiated by both parties. Under normal circumstances, the bonus will go to the winner, and the appearance fee is **** points. The winner will get 60%, and the loser will get 40%. This is a conventional non-matching method. The reason why there is no 50/50 split is mainly to avoid fake boxing. A **** split will result in a 20% difference in appearance fees between the two parties. Adding in an appearance fee of 100 million US dollars, the difference will be 20 million. This is a big number, and I believe that boxers will not fake matches in order to make more money.
The agent shook his head: "It's not a conventional distribution method. Zhang Guan's agent proposed to share the entire amount, the winner will get it all, and the loser will get nothing."
"Full share?" Tyson Fury was surprised. He did not expect Zhang Guan to choose such an extreme method of sharing.
"I have negotiated with them about the share ratio, but to no avail. They insisted that the full share must be shared," the agent said.
"This guy Zhang Guan, doesn't he know the unspoken rules of boxing? No one can do it so well nowadays, he wants to share the full amount! Normally, he should leave some appearance fees for his opponent no matter what. He wants to share the full amount, Such ungentlemanly behavior will become a laughing stock in the boxing world." Tyson Fury said.
"I also reminded them of this, but they obviously don't care. Zhang Guan's management team said that Zhang Guan is not a boxer, so he does not need to abide by the unspoken rules of boxing." The agent said.
"That's right, he is not a boxer. But regardless of the full share, the 4 million pounds will be mine by then!" Tyson Fury said with a smile on his face. In addition to the 4 million pounds, Omi He also promised to give him a large sum of money, and he has already accepted the deposit, so if Tyson Fury wins this game, his income will be worse than that of some first-class boxers.
"I suggest you not to take it lightly." The agent continued: "I received news here that Zhang Guan has found a boxing coach."
"The competition is about half a month away. What's the use of finding a boxing coach at this time?" Tyson Fury then asked: "Who is the boxing coach he is looking for?"
"Boxing champion Lewis!" the manager replied.
