Chapter 605: Boxing Conquest: The Most Influential Newcomer
"Su Donghai will compete in the WBC. The first match will start in three days..."
"Heavyweight boxer, is Su Donghai's crossover just hype or does he really have the ability..."
"From actor to boxer, Su Donghai ventured into the professional boxing world..."
A few days later, a shocking piece of news sparked discussion around the world: Su Donghai, a popular actor in the United States, was planning to enter the professional boxing world, specifically in the heavyweight division.
The heavyweight division is the most difficult to fight in because the fighters are extremely strong. According to the latest WBC regulations, the weight limit for heavyweights is 91 kilograms.
Boxers of this weight are, to put it bluntly, beasts. There are many famous boxers, but when it comes to fighting power, heavyweight boxers are still the most powerful.
If there were no weight classes, a middleweight champion would be vulnerable to a heavyweight. It's like a tank: an extra pair of road wheels puts it in a different class. No matter how agile your little Japanese fighters are, they'll still be dead in front of a Tiger tank.
In the professional boxing world, Su Donghai is actually going to compete in the professional boxing world. This news is too explosive.
Su Donghai is known as a man at the top of the food chain. He became famous for the Man vs. Wild series. He then entered the entertainment industry and became popular again in Europe and the United States with The Walking Dead.
Then, Love Island made Su Donghai's fame soar again. But no matter how you look at it, Su Donghai seems to have nothing to do with professional boxing.
Even in the variety show "Love Island", Su Donghai often boxed in the gym. But in the eyes of the audience, it was just his hobby of boxing.
As the news broke, the topic began to heat up. Countless European and American viewers were eagerly anticipating the competition. The male audience, in particular, were filled with jealousy towards Su Donghai, each one wanting to kill him because he had snatched away their goddess.
Not only was the goddess snatched away, but the goddess also used him as a comparison to tease their male idol. As a top star, Ohm has many fans in Europe and the United States.
However, Ohm has been the subject of countless ridicule these past few days. Because of Su Donghai, Ohm's nickname "Velociraptor" has been mentioned again by countless people, causing Ohm to appear much more irritable during the past two days of competition, and even making mistakes.
However, Janice and Su Donghai keep showing their affection, so now this pair of dogs and bitches are both loved and hated in Europe and the United States. Some people like them very much, while others hate them very much.
Su Donghai became the second artist to be so hotly discussed in Europe and the United States. The previous artist was Su Yang, who conquered European and American audiences with his music and convinced everyone.
Now, Su Donghai wants to conquer them with his fists, but they refuse to obey!
The popularity continues to rise, and this popularity has made the WBC extremely excited. It's so cool to have such a naturally popular person. Popularity is money.
You should know that the television broadcasting rights of professional boxing are very profitable. Currently, WBC boxing matches require a paid subscription to watch them live.
The box office revenue of a fight is largely determined by the number of subscribers. The more famous a boxer is, the more subscribers he or she will have. This is why the top boxing champions can earn so much money.
Now Su Donghai has become a strange thing. He is not a top boxing champion, but he has so much popularity. So if this thing is managed well, it can still make a lot of money.
The online buzz spurred the WBC to action, which involved selecting a suitable opponent. The WBC considered the fighter to be neither too strong nor too weak. At the very least, their performance might look impressive, but their actual combat performance might be lackluster.
It would be best if Su Donghai won this match, as he brings his own traffic. He has many fans and even more enemies. With proper promotion, he can profit from it.
Because of this, the WBC was very concerned about Su Donghai's first match, and the venue of this match was directly set in Las Vegas.
Su Donghai's first opponent was also a hot topic. Galio, a former welterweight, was once ranked tenth in the world in the welterweight division. He also had a very impressive professional record of 27 wins and 9 losses.
He is one year younger than Su Donghai. This is not the key point. The most important thing is that Galio has a good friend named Ohm.
That's right, Galio is a good friend of Ohm's. A very good friend indeed. Galio often goes to Ohm's games, and Ohm has been to Galio's games many times as well. The two grew up together, truly childhood friends.
If such an arrangement is said to be a coincidence, even the WBC itself probably wouldn't believe it.
With all the hype surrounding this match, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in excitement after seeing the news. The WBC was just looking for trouble.
Pulling out Ohm's friends to fight with Su Donghai, this damn topic was hyped up.
With the publicity and promotion for several days in a row, the popularity of this game has been completely hyped up.
At the competition venue, thousands of tickets were sold out.
That wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was the number of subscriptions on the official website. This number shocked the WBC. A large number of users had already joined before the match even started.
The subscription fee for this match is $50, which is certainly not comparable to that of a boxing champion, but it is still quite high compared to ordinary boxers.
Unlike other sports, the two boxers own 70% of the WBC subscription fee. According to the rules, the winner takes 70% and the loser takes 30%.
WBC officials thought the number of subscriptions would be quite high, but when a large number of people came in, the data shocked everyone.
The number of subscriptions was alarming, and many of them were from outside the United States. There were a large number of Chinese accounts subscribing to the match, as well as accounts from other countries. WBC officials knew these accounts were likely targeting Su Donghai.
With just a few minutes left before the match, the total number of subscribers exceeded 20 million. This number is unprecedented. Remember, the WBC hyped double champion fight two years ago only had a little over 6 million paid subscribers.
Now, a simple fight had over 20 million subscriptions, driving the WBC crazy. Everyone was staring at the data, some even wishing they could drug Galio and finish him off. Who wouldn't want a cash cow like Su Donghai? After all, their purpose was to make money.
The game was about to begin, and inside the live broadcast room, countless viewers had already started cursing, the atmosphere was extremely lively!
