Yesterday I posted an article about Zhang Zhilei, and some fans commented that Zhang Zhilei is a poor guy compared to other fighters. Today is May 1, 2024, and yesterday I posted an article about Zhang Zhilei losing to Parker, and I think he lost the game. But won more chances to play. For example, Wilder now, for example, Joshua who may play in the future, these are very valuable opportunities. Parker, on the other hand, is currently waiting for the game because he has called Delian White and Joshua before, but the game has not been made so far, and there is no sign of doing so.
Then, a fan sent a comment, he commented like this, he said that at this age, fighting money is king, compared to other fighters, Zhang is poor. When I saw this comment, I was still a little surprised, because in my impression, Zhang Zhilei is not a poor egg. To give the simplest example, when Zhang Zhilei played against Joyce, when the two of them fought twice, Zhang Zhilei exposed that his income was 2 million US dollars, and 2 million US dollars should be more than 10 million yuan when converted into RMB. If you say that a multi-millionaire is a poor man, then I really can't argue with you.
And after Zhang Zhilei knocked out Joyce twice, he faced Parker. Although foreign media have not yet announced the income of the two people in this match, my personal opinion is that Zhang Zhilei will definitely earn more than 2 million (US dollars) from the fight with Parker by knocking out Joyce twice. Because before the two matched, Zhang Zhilei was the WBO heavyweight transitional champion. Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that Zhang Zhilei's worth must exceed 20 million. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, let's just say that Zhang Zhilei is a poor bastard compared to other fighters. But what, what fighter wasn't poor before he became famous?
Tyson came from a slum, is he a pauper? He's a pauper. Even Mayweather, the richest boxing champion in boxing today, wasn't he a poor man before he became famous? If Zhang Zhilei beats Wilder, he may play Joshua next, and if the two can really fight, he will beat Joshua and eventually challenge Fury or Usyk to become the World Champion, then Zhang Zhilei will become the rich man you see. So my personal opinion is that fans should look at a certain athlete with a developmental perspective. Because he may be poor today, but tomorrow he may become the rich man in your eyes.
