Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 130 Controversy

 After the press conference, Link’s answer in the media caused a lot of controversy.

The first is about him calling Kanye sick.

Kanye’s fans were very dissatisfied with his answer, believing that his answer was discriminatory against patients with bipolar disorder, and demanded that Link publicly apologize in the media.

Link's fans and boxing fans also stood up to defend Link. It is a fact that Kanye is ill. Link was talking about mental illness and did not use insulting words such as madman and mental illness.

In addition, Kanye was dissatisfied with being outsold by Link in terms of album sales. He first publicly attacked Link, saying that Link was taking advantage of the financial crisis to make money by releasing an "inspirational" album.

This is making trouble unreasonably. Link did not call him crazy. He was already very gentlemanly. It is Kanye who should apologize, not Link.

Kanye’s fans ignored it and insisted on asking Link to apologize. They also flocked to several music websites to give negative reviews to the songs in the "The Fighter" album.

Kanye is at the top of the music industry and has a huge number of fans, numbering in the millions.

In addition to Kanye, there are also fans of black singers such as Lil Wade and 50 Cent. These guys are all top stars in the music industry. They not only have many fans, but they are also very united.

In just three days, the ratings of several of Link's songs on the website were lowered by 0.4-0.5 points, with more than 300,000 people rating them.

 Finally, the website can only temporarily close the scoring system.

 Link did not stand up to respond positively to this matter.

Kanye did not respond. He just sent a message to the media through people around him, thinking that Link wanted to take advantage of his popularity, and he would never let Link succeed.

 The second more controversial topic is not Link's answer to the boxing question, but a personal question.

Amber Heard said on a TV show that Link was very strong and told the media about the two of them in bed several times a night, which immediately caused a sensation in the media.

 The media and the public are far more interested in celebrity privacy than political news.

 At that press conference, several reporters asked about it, but Link was too thin-skinned to answer directly.

The reporters' curiosity was not satisfied, so they went to find Amber again. The woman had a big mouth and talked about some topics that were embarrassing for Link.

Link could only call her to warn her a few words, telling her not to talk nonsense.

Amber did not go against his wishes, but she took advantage of this incident and became a popular actress in the entertainment industry, receiving four or five movie roles.

 Through several interesting topics, Link and his album have also attracted more people’s attention.

 Sales volume in the fourth week was 380,000, an increase of 30,000 from last week.

 The sales of "The Fighter" in the first month reached 1.12 million, which is also a first-class level among new singers. Only Mariah Carey, Britney, Kanye, Justin Timberlake and other singers achieved this in their novice stages.

However, due to the quarrel between fans on both sides, Kanye's album sales fell, rising from 280,000 last week to 420,000, returning to the top of the album sales list.

Link saw this data and had to sigh that the appeal of veteran singers is indeed strong.

In addition, the overseas sales results of "The Fighter" have also been released one after another.

　　When this album was released in the United States, it was also released in various overseas countries and regions at the same time.

 Due to Link Music's insufficient international distribution capabilities, the overseas distribution of this album is still left to Universal Music and Atlantic Records.

 The total overseas sales in the first month were 1.82 million copies.

 Among them, it ranked first in the UK with 280,000 copies. "Fire" was on the Top 40 of the British pop music singles chart in the first week of its release, peaking at No. 12, and "Unstoppable" peaking at No. 37. Other songs were not on the list. Monthly sales in Canada ranked second, with 260,000 copies sold. "Unstoppable", "Fire" and "neversaynever" broke into the top ten of the singles chart.

 Sold 420,000 copies in Europe, and six songs entered the top 100 of each country's singles charts.

About 800,000 copies have been sold in Oceania and Asia. "Neversaynever" is the most popular in these two regions. It peaked at No. 5 on the Korean pop music chart, peaked at No. 9 on the Japanese singles chart, and ranked No. 9 in New Zealand. , Malaysia, Indonesia and other places rushed into the top 20.

 Sales volume in Latin America is about 85,000 copies. The lingua franca of Latin American countries is Spanish and Portuguese, and English songs are not very popular. His first album was able to sell 85,000 copies, also because of "Despacito".

"Despacito" single album was released three months ago and sold 850,000 copies in Latin America. It became a hit song in many countries. The play rate on the radio reached several extremely high levels, which was higher than that of Latin American queen Xia Qi. La's new song "SheWolf" is still highly played.

Without launching a world tour, Link, a newcomer's debut album, sold nearly 2 million copies overseas each month. This figure shocked the American music scene.

If Link’s album sells well in the United States, it is the power of boxing fans and the reason why he is famous.

 The huge sales overseas only mean one thing: the quality of this album is indeed very high, Link’s songs are very popular overseas, and fans are willing to pay for it.

Seeing this situation, Link Music, Universal Records, and Atlantic Records proposed to hold a global tour and global signing event for Link, which may double the album's sales and become a diamond record.

 But was rejected by Link.

He currently has many things on his hands, including boxing matches, filming, going to school, filming commercials, and filming MVs. Every day he has to divide his time into dozens of small units, and each unit has something to do. He currently has no time to go abroad for a tour.

However, he did not refuse it completely. His plan is to release two more albums, and after three albums are completed, he will start a world tour. He will have more fans and make more money.

In the Thompson Building in Manhattan, New York, Ivaca stepped on high heels and hummed to Mr. Thompson's office, and was told by the assistant that there were guests inside.

"Guest? Is there really a guest here, or are you messing around with some woman?"

Ivaca leaned on the solid wood desk and looked at the closed door opposite and smiled.

The female assistant smiled slightly and was not surprised by the tone of Ivaca's words. She said softly: "They are the two gentlemen of the Kunas family. Do you want to meet them?"

Evaka's face changed slightly when she heard Kunas. The Kunas family is a tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry in New Jersey. The family's total assets exceed 3 billion US dollars. They are business partners of the Thompson family. Little Kunas is also Mr. Thompson's business partner. One of her chosen marriage partners.

 “Annie, I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

 Evaka brushed her skirt and moved her long legs to leave.

Having just taken two steps, the door to the office opened. Mr. Thompson came out with two men, a bald middle-aged man and a thin-faced young man. Both of them were well-dressed in suits.

 Ivaka quickened her pace and walked out.

 “Eva!”

Mr. Thompson shouted after him.
