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 will be able to produce a few more world boxing champions, and the company will be able to earn 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, shook it at Hoya, bared his white teeth, smiled, and said 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 as a boxing gentleman and boxing nobleman 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. It made him want to die every time he saw it.

But this bastard 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.

Hoya envied Link's current state. He trained and played every day, and earned 100 million, no, 200 million US dollars for each game. This guy invested the prize money from the game and earned 20 billion in five or six years.

It's too abnormal.

Link has become the envy of all his peers.

Sometimes De La Hoya regretted retiring early. He is 41 years old this year. There are many people of this age in the boxing world, such as James Tony, Hopkins, Holyfield, etc. If he had not retired, he could also be like Link now, training seriously, preparing actively, and welcoming the next victory.

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

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

After Link's training in the afternoon, De La Hoya, who was bruised and swollen, came to him to go to the bar for a drink, but Link refused. He didn't think it would feel good to get himself drunk. It would be better to stay at home with Eva Ka and San Xiao.

During this period, Taylor is preparing for his fifth official album. He is busy writing songs and collecting folk songs every day, so he has no time to take care of the little ones. Now Alexander and Cynthia live in a villa halfway up the mountain, and they go to class and play with little Margarita.

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

There is also "American Sniper" about to start shooting. Recently, he is also preparing for the shooting, mainly practicing shooting, making himself like a sniper before shooting. When he has time, he will also find director Clint Eastwood to discuss the script and role.

This movie is his highlight this year, and he must take it seriously.

——

"Captain America 2" is on the fourth week of release, and the North American box office has reached 287 million US dollars, the overseas box office is 464 million US dollars, and the global box office has accumulated 751 million US dollars. Among all Marvel movies, it is temporarily ranked fourth.

This week, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" has been released for three weeks and has received a box office of 60.52 million US dollars in North America, becoming the fifth movie of Lionsgate this year with a North American box office of more than 50 million.

The overseas box office performance was even better, reaching a cumulative total of 131 million US dollars.

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

Also this week, with the summer season approaching, Lionsgate's seventh film this year, "Divergent: Alien Awakening", was 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 fighting for freedom. The film is mainly for young audiences, similar to "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games". It is also one of Lionsgate's main commercial films this year.

The film was released in 3,936 theaters in North America on May 2, and earned 54.6 million US dollars in box office in three days over the weekend, ranking first in the weekly box office.

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

In the second weekend of the release of "Divergent 1", the North American box office just exceeded 100 million US dollars, reaching 101 million, and it is also the third movie of Lionsgate that has broken the 100 million North American box office this year.

Although this data is not as good as the box office of "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight" series, it did not lose money 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 113 million US dollars.

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

If the total box office reaches 300 million, Lionsgate will make a profit of about 80 million.

However, with the arrival of the summer season, blockbusters have appeared in the North American film market one after another, including Paramount's "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction", Fox Film's "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", Warner Films' "Godzilla" and "300: Rise of an Empire", Sony Pictures' "22 Jump Street 2" and so on.

Compared with last year, although there are fewer commercial blockbusters such as "Iron Man 3", "Man of Steel" and "Fast \u0026 Furious 6", the box office competition is still fierce. It is not an easy task for "Divergent 1" to get a total box office of 300 million.
