Akce za miliony. Legenda dřela na návrat, spolu s tím žhavila telefon

52 výher a 5 porážek. A také celá řada titulů, což z Konečného dělá jednoho z nejlepší boxerů české historie. Legendární rohovník kariéru oficiálně ukončil před více než deseti lety, teď se ale znovu vrací. Soupeřem mu bude Tomáš Bezvoda (17 výher a 24 porážek).

„Já jsem to bral tak, že do zápasu na své vlastní akci půjdu proto, abych podpořil promo a zájem fanoušků,“ uvádí Konečný důvod, jenž ho přinutil se znovu postavit pod světla reflektorů. Původně se měl přitom postavit nejmenované celebritě, která se na poslední chvíli přestala ozývat.

Konečný to během přípravy neměl vůbec jednoduché. Jelikož na očekávané události v Praze působí i v roli pořadatele a promotéra, musel se podílet na zabezpečení turnaje a také obvolával boxery, aby dokázal složit atraktivní startovku. Když se například někdo zranil, musel navzdory své gradující přípravě okamžitě nažhavit telefon a bádat po vhodné náhradě.

„Všechno dělám já,“ usmívá se 46letý boxer. „Člověk musí prostě vypnout a hotovo. Dřív jsem si říkal, že být boxer je nejhorší, ale když člověk začne dělat promotéra a manažera, tak najednou zjistí, že ani z té druhé stránky to není žádná sranda,“ povídá z vlastních zkušeností.

Boxerské akce v ikonické Lucerně nejsou výjimkou. Také v tomto případě by mělo být vyprodáno. Přenos navíc živě poběží na stanici Oneplay Sport 2. „Člověk musí dodržovat různé postupy, platit rozhodčím a zvát oficiální lidi. Z tohoto důvodu to není úplně levné. S mojí firmou Tohle je box to dělám ještě s Patron Boxingem, rozpočty jdou samozřejmě do milionů,“ uvádí Konečný, někdejší mistr světa ve veltrové váze a v současné době také trenér.

„S většími akcemi a titulovými zápasy to tak je. Vždycky to jde do jednotek milionů. Záleží na startovní kartě, kde to děláte, na nájmu, co potřebujete za show, světla či zvuk. Pak se to blbě získává zpátky od sponzorů či ze vstupenek, když profesionální box není na vrcholu nějaké mediální pozornosti,“ drbe se na hlavě.

I tak se na místě, kde se normálně konají například maturitní plesy, předvede domácí boxerská špička. O titul křížové váhy si to rozdají Vasil Ducár s Viktorem Agateljanem, úřadovat bude také těžkotonážník Lukáš Fajk, jenž okusí dovednosti Keňana Morrise Alfaya. Nesmí se zapomenout ani na ženu mnoha tváří Fabianu Bytyqi.

Rukavice opráší i zmíněný Konečný, pro nějž se bude jednat již o 58. profesionální duel. „Karta je opravdu povedená, zápasy jsou suprové. Měly tu být ještě dva tři jiné, ale bohužel neklaply,“ uvádí vyhlášený český boxer a zmiňuje absenci neporaženého Ukrajince Daniela Lapina, s nímž měl přiletět i světový boxerský šampion Oleksandr Usyk.

A pokud se vše povede na jedničku, jsou ve hře i další galavečery. „Všechno bude záležet na tom, jak to v sobotu dopadne. Může se stát, že to v uvozovkách skončí špatně a já nebudu mít náladu na další Lucerny. (smích) Ale doufám, že to dopadne dobře. Je jasné, že bude vyprodáno, což mě těší. Snad se povedou jednotlivé zápasy a diváci budou spokojení, že tam mohli být. Mám v plánu to dělat minimálně jednou do roka, ale všechno závisí na této akci.“

<!--> [--> Greg Auman NFL Reporter <!--> --> Each week, we’ll offer up the very best of the NFL for a given week, kind of like the fantasy football team you wished you had.We’ll pick one quarterback, two running backs, two receivers and a tight end – OK, this is sounding a lot like a super-hindsight fantasy football team – as a way to look back on the weekend that was.We have a familiar face that stood out at wide receiver, and another return performer at running back. Let's break it down.Pretty strong week for quarterbacks, with five guys throwing 3+ touchdowns without an interception.

Why Baker Mayfield Should Be Early Frontrunner for 2025 NFL MVP Award

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are rolling, and Baker Mayfield has a legitimate case to be considered a frontrunner for the NFL MVP trophy.The Buccaneers improved to 4-1 after a thrilling shootout with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5. Mayfield outdueled Sam Darnold in a clash of 2018 NFL Draft top five quarterbacks. Mayfield finished with a career day passing the football. He had 379 passing yards and two touchdowns on 29-of-33 passing. He also rushed the football five times for 15 yards. Since arriving in Tampa Bay, Mayfield has completely turned his career around. The Buccaneers needed a quarterback to pivot off of Tom Brady retiring. Just a few seasons later, it’s Mayfield that has the Buccaneers looking like a serious contender in the NFC. Before the season, Mayfield was +2500 to win MVP on FanDuel Sportsbook. In just five […]

Tensions rise in the WNBA as Napheesa Collier, Caitlin Clark, and Cathy Engelbert clash over leadership

The WNBA has seen its fair share of disputes, but recent tensions between star forward Napheesa Collier and Commissioner Cathy Engelbert may represent a pivotal moment in the league's evolution. Collier, Vice President of the WNBPA Executive Committee, didn't hold back in her postseason exit interview, accusing Engelbert of tone-deaf leadership and alleging behind-the-scenes comments that have ignited league-wide controversy.Engelbert's alleged "be grateful" remark sparks outrageCollier claimed Engelbert had said Caitlin Clark should be "grateful" for earning millions in endorsements, crediting the WNBA for giving her a platform. If true, the comment would suggest a dismissive view of Clark's individual marketability and a broader lack of appreciation for the athletes driving the league's current success. Engelbert has denied making such a statement, calling Collier's claims inaccurate in a press conference before the WNBA Finals.What followed has only deepened the divide. […]
