638. Frozen tofu in winter (4/5)

July 20, Rhode Island, USA.

This island is the largest island in Rhodesia. It has always been regarded as a resort for American rich people, gathering the mansions of the most famous figures in American history.

Mandosa Lewis was riding in President Cadillac. The spacious back seat was not enough to soothe his anxiety. He looked at a luxurious villa outside and couldn't help but shake his head.

The villa area outside is called Yunshi Villa, which was once the summer vacation villa of the American railway tycoon Vanderbilt family.

The Vanderbilt family was very proud. At a certain period of time, the wealth they had even exceeded the wealth of the entire United States. Therefore, the natural luxury of the Marble Villa was built, and the internal and external materials were all made of Greek imported marble. After completion, it was known as "the most luxurious building in American history" and was once one of the most eye-catching buildings in the United States.

The car started moving smoothly and quickly, and suddenly the speed slowed down.

Mandosa frowned and asked in a smoother voice than the previous car, "Ali, what's going on?"

The black driver explained: "Mr. Chairman, it seems that there is a crew filming here. The road is blocked. Please let me get out of the car and ask what's going on."

A few minutes later, the driver came back and said, "Sorry, Mr. Chairman, we probably have to take a detour. There is a movie here called "The Great Gatsby."

Mandosa shook her head and said, "Then take a detour. Fortunately, I didn't have any work arrangements this morning, otherwise I would have delayed my work. I would not let go of these sissies in the City of Angels."

Angel City is another name for Los Angeles, USA, and Hollywood is located in that city.

He said this was not a bluff, and he was qualified to call Hollywood stars sissy. Even the toughest tough guy among the actors was not as good as any boxer he managed.

Mandosa Lewis, president of the World Boxing Association, has been the old man for fifty years since the establishment of this department in 1967.

The predecessor of this association was the National Boxing Association of America, mainly an American institution, which basically controls boxing competitions in the entire United States. Well-deserved boxing champions such as Ali, Fraser, Foreman all came from this association. The gold belts they obtained were engraved with the abbreviation WBA of the World Boxing Association.

But such good days are gone forever. Since some of them independently established the World Boxing Council in 1963, some of them independently established the International Boxing Federation in 1984, and some of them independently established the World Boxing Organization in 1988, the World Boxing Association has become much worse than before.

And this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the association has not had a pillar to support the store for a long time. With the final super boxing champion Tyson withdrawing from the boxing world, there has been no more superstar in the world boxing world in nearly twenty years.

Thinking of this, Mandosa pinched her forehead with a headache. Only then did he realize that his skin was so loose and he was so old.

Is this the world boxing like this? The old chairman looked at Yunshi Villa, which was gradually fading away with melancholy. Is boxing like Yunshi Villa, which can only be absent for a while? In the end, it can only be abandoned by history?

He was unwilling to accept this, thinking about how popular boxing and boxers were ten years ago?

In the 1990s, boxing was the overlord of the high-income sports star list. Evande Holyfield and Mike Tyson were the first and second on the athlete income list in 1991, while other boxing champions Foreman and Razor Radock ranked fourth and seventh respectively. A few years later, in 1990, the top three of this list were all won by boxers, namely Tyson, "Spoiler" Douglas and "Honey" Ray Ray Raynard.

But now, taking the athlete income counted by Forbes last year, boxing only entered four of the top 100 highest-paid athletes in the world. Thanks to Mayweather and Pacquiao's Battle of the Century, both of whom won the first and second place on the list.

In addition, the income of boxers has been shortened. Vladimir Klitschko, ranked third in the industry, ranked 24th in the overall list, while Miguel Cootto, ranked fourth in the industry, fell to the shabby 75th!

I really can't think about these things. Just think about the old chairman and want to die. How come there is no boxing genius born?

No, there was a boxing genius once, and a gentle and resolute black child's face appeared in the old chairman's mind. What's that kid's name? v-Oakley, yes, it's this name. He even went to watch his game secretly in person. He praised him at that time.

Unfortunately, genius was destroyed by injuries, and the boxer whose left lung was destroyed was like a phoenix with hair plucked, even a second-rate boxer could not match.

Thoughts flashed, Mandosa had no time to think about these irrelevant things. The association needed reforms, including re-electing the chairman and revising boxing rules and laws. These were all major events and he needed to worry about them.

The car drove into the office building of the World Boxing Association, with the three letters of WBA embedded on the roof, still domineering.

The old man walked towards the office, and a middle-aged woman came over with a box: "Mr. Lewis, someone mailed some videotapes and newspaper clippings from New Zealand, which were videotapes of a boxer named V-Oakley, what about them? You see?"

Mandosa waved her hand and said, "New Zealand? That express delivery may be wrong. Their stars should not come to WBA, but to NFL."

nfl is the abbreviation of the American Rugby League. Now on the world athlete income list, the league's athletes dominate the list in terms of number, and rugby is also the most popular sport in New Zealand.

The middle-aged woman said: "Okay, but it's a pity that the mailers should be very considerate. They actually used videotapes instead of the popular CDs or U disks, and did not send emails..."

"Wait, who do you think these videotapes are from? v-Oakley?"

"Yes."

"Then give it to me. I'll go back and take a look. I like watching video tapes, right?" The old man finally came to his senses. The name reported by the assistant just came to his mind in the morning. Anyway, there was nothing to do in the morning, so why not watch these videos?

Two minutes later, everyone passing by the president's office heard the old man's classic roar:

"Fake! It's such a big punch! Damn, is this step on ice skates? Hou Leixuete! This guy is a damn hell killer!"

Several employees discussed casually when they passed by: "Hey, is the Chairman watching Tyson's boxing match again? I think it should be Ali's. Didn't you hear him keep talking about footsteps? It's also possible that it's Hawley, the Hell Killer is a name that everyone can have..."

Before they finished speaking, the office door was pushed open, and the old chairman looked flushed and gasped: "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Call me all the guys above the director to the conference room and let them pass quickly!"
Chapter completed!
