Re: [外電] some news...

[kobeslaker (It's the end to me)]

The basketball player formally known as Ron Artest is closing in on a
professional boxing contract. Metta World Peace, as he is known today, never
hid his desire to get into fighting after his NBA career ends. His dad, Ron
Artest, Sr. was an amateur boxer. Now the Lakers star is moving forward with
his plans to tackle the sweet science.

Elie Seckbach, a reporter for boxing site EsNews, caught up with World Peace
before Wednesday night's game with the Clippers. After being asked about
Floyd "Money" Mayweather being sentenced to 90 days in jail, Metta dropped
his plans to sign with the boxer's promotion company.

"I know Floyd, Money Team. I actually might sign to Floyd Mayweather's
promotion," World Peace said. "I was talking to Lou DiBella and I was talking
to Floyd. Briefly spoke to Bob Arum, but I think I'm going to sign with Floyd
Mayweather. I'm going to fight as a professional later."

Known by his birth name in 2004, Artest was at the center of the "Malice at
the Palace" as it was dubbed. With less than a minute to go in the game,
players from the Pacers and Pistons got into a huge fight, which spilled over
into the crowd. As a result, nine players were suspended -- including Artest,
who ended up sitting out a total of 86 games (73 regular season, 13 playoffs
for his actions).

As for his new plans to fight professionally, World Peace didn't expand too
much on when he's planning to shift over to boxing. Asked if any of his
Lakers teammates were aware of his proposed career change, World Peace said:
"I can't tell them everything. There is too much stuff going on to say every
little thing you're doing."

So who would win a fight between Metta and Kobe Bryant? "We would never
fight; we are teammates. We would jump the other opponent," World Peace said.

Kobe was asked about his reaction to his teammate World Peace closing in on a
professional boxing contract: "If he (World Peace) wants to box, he can do
that all he wants. He'll have to do it after the season and maybe someplace
else, because we are on a different mission here." Kobe said.

World Peace is making $6.7 million this season, with another $7.2 million
guaranteed in 2012-13.

As for his out-of-this-world name change from Ron Artest to Metta World
Peace, the Lakers star sounded like it was no big deal. "It was just
something we just wanted to do; something different. We thought it was kind
of cool so we just went ahead and went with it," World Peace said.


 Ron Artest 考慮簽下職業拳擊賽的合約。
 Kobe 對此反應 :「他想要打拳是他家的事，但麻煩在球季後再說，甚至是去別隊打
                  拳擊我都無所謂，但現在我們有不同的任務在身。」
