How many years will it take for China to give birth to a Pacquiao-style iron fist man?

The magic of the Mepa War is that countless ordinary viewers instantly become fanatical boxing fans, update Weibo, brush the circle of friends, and be busy in order to show the sense of existence. This $400 million boxing match is not a wonderful shock, no ko knockdown, no heavy punches, and no ear-biting bridge break, but it is enough to profoundly affect the development of Chinese boxing.

"Boxing Encyclopedia" Du Wenjie, when talking about the peak confrontation between Mayweather and Pacquiao, emphasized its radiation effect on leaders, the media, boxing fans, and all aspects of society, which is bound to make everyone have greater interest, deeper understanding and higher investment in the boxing industry.

Hemingway said that boxing is the most closely related to male dignity and national agility. For China, which is committed to restoring the atmosphere of a strong man and the spirit of the Tang Dynasty, the strategic significance of boxing may be second only to football. China calls on the Pacquiao-style iron fist man to open up, to challenge, to defend, and even to evoke the rolling blood and iron bones of 1.3 billion Chinese.

Mayweather has long been at the top of the Forbes Sports Wealth List, and the single game of the Maypa War has generated more than the annual income of Messi, Ronaldo and James, and boxing is the most attractive and eye-catching personal sport in the world today. China, which regards "developing the sports industry and promoting sports consumption" as a national policy, should naturally advocate boxing, which can be seen from president Xi Jinping's long reluctance to leave after stopping to watch boxing training during the Youth Olympic Games.

What is the most essential sport? Roosevelt said that the most essential sport is a demonstration of muscle strength. Before World War II, the United States beat Germany with the flyer Owens, and knocked down Germany with the boxing king Joe Luiz! At the White House, Roosevelt said affectionately: "Joe, we need muscular people like you ko Germany." Boxing is often a direct embodiment of the spiritual strength of the nation.

In order to conform to the rising national fortunes, China needs a well-known Chinese and foreign world-class boxing champion more than ever, and sometimes I think that if Pacquiao is Chinese, the positive energy he inspires and the cohesion he contains will even far exceed Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Li Na. Pacquiao is regarded as another Asian who conquered the West after Genghis Khan, a generation of tianjiao who used horses to level the battlefield, and a generation of boxers who swept the ring with iron fists.

China's professional boxing started not long ago, but behind it is the vast market potential benefited by the dividends of the big country, Zou Shiming's several Macau matches have attracted a total of 300 million Chinese people's attention, and China will have the opportunity to become the world's boxing center second only to the United States in the future. Capital giants such as Ma Yun and Wang Jianlin are scrambling to get involved in the field of football, and boxing may be the next sports investment project favored by entrepreneurs.

The boxing movie "Rocky" has a classic line, "If you know your value, go for it." The value of boxing is not inferior to football in China, and I would like to encourage Chinese boxers in this way.
