Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

Chapter 246: Post-match income review

At the party, Franco tells Link some good news.

I just received the data from Nielsen Data Consulting Company.

The PPV signal of this game sold 1.32 million copies in North America, 860,000 copies of the high-definition signal, priced at US$79.9 each, and 460,000 copies of the ordinary signal, priced at US$69.9 each, with a total revenue of US$99 million, almost exceeding US$100 million. .

According to the pre-game agreement with the organizer and the signal broadcast company, Link and Dynasty Promotions have the right to receive 50% of the PPV revenue in North America, which is US$49.5 million.

There are also appearance fees, bonus sharing, box office sharing, etc. for this game, which is about 25 million US dollars.

Total revenue was $74.5 million.

Per Link's contract with Dynasty Promotions.

After getting any one of WBA-WBC-IBF-WBO, the game income will be divided 6:4;

If you get three or more, the game is divided into 7:3;

After winning the two heavyweight gold belts, the game was divided into 8:2.

Based on a 7:3 split, Link will receive 70% of the US$74.5 million, which is US$52.15 million.

Earning more than 50 million US dollars from one game is no less than the income from the game between De La Hoya and Pacquiao last year.

"Link, do you remember what you said to me on the Silver Star train last year? You told me that your potential is comparable to Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Missing you means missing out on investing in Apple and Microsoft. You also said that you are boxing His achievements will surpass Holyfield, Mayweather, and Tyson, and he will become a boxing superstar.

I was shocked by your words at the time. You, an amateur boxer who just debuted, dared to say this. I think people like you are either geniuses or crazy. But I still want to take a gamble and continue to sign a contract with you. What happened now has fully proved that , my bet was right, and it proves that you are indeed an amazing guy. "

Franco gestured and said excitedly.

Link smiled softly and couldn't help but think of the conversation on the train. At that time, he had no intention of signing a contract. He just wanted to find an excuse to get rid of Franco, so he made some false and empty remarks and even quoted an astonishing $100 million. number.

I remember that when he said 100 million US dollars, Franco was frightened, Mario's eyes almost fell to the ground, and Coach West was also awakened.

They all find it very incredible.

But now it seems that the offer of US$100 million is not excessive.

From last year to several professional games this year, Dynasty Promotions earned tens of millions of dollars. Although they also spent some money on promoting and hyping the events, it was only a small part compared to what they earned.

According to the current situation, in three to five years, it will not be a problem for Dynasty Promotion's market value to exceed one billion.

"Franco, don't get too excited, our career has just begun."

Link said, holding up a champagne glass.

"Yes, you are right. Now we are only conquering the super middleweight. There are also light heavyweight, light heavyweight, heavyweight, and middleweight. The higher the weight, the more attention we receive. Now every day we It’s hard to imagine how much it will be in three to five years if you earn 60 to 70 million per game.”

Franco exclaimed.

Link nodded and discussed with Franco the lottery for the gold belt.

After the game, he will continue to tour, and he still needs the company's assistance with the lottery.

Because when giving away gold belts, media channels must be used to promote and promote boxing and Link himself in the world's mainstream media to gain more space and traffic.

These things are complex and require teamwork.

Franco said there was no problem.

"Hi, boss, congratulations on becoming the King of Boxing. You were so awesome in the ring just now."

Seeing Franco walking away, Emma Stone came over with a wine glass and said.

Link smiled softly when he saw her, "Thank you. Is "Scandal Project" finished?"

"It's almost over. Only your part is left. Director Gule asked me to ask you when you have time."

Link thought for a moment, and it was only next week. He originally wanted to rest for a few days after the game, and then devote himself to the tour, but now it seems that there is no time to rest.

"Next week? Okay, I get it."

Emma Stone blinked her turquoise eyes and smiled.

"Last time I recommended you to meet Director Woody Allen. How was the result?"

Link asked as he walked.

Emma Stone shrugged, "Director Allen said I'm not sexy enough and he needs a sexier actress. Boss, do you think I'm sexy?"

Link glanced at her. She was wearing a purple off-shoulder dress. She had a slender figure but no curves. She was not sexy in terms of figure. However, most European and American actresses took the path of a mature woman when they were young. After they are fully developed in their thirties, It will become more and more sexy, and so will Emma.

"When you just debut, you should take a fresh approach first, and then consider whether you are sexy or not after two years. In addition, there are many sexy actresses in Hollywood, and you don't need to compete with them in this aspect."

"I understand, I'm not sexy enough."

Emma Stone lowered the corners of her lips with a frustrated expression.

Link shook his head, "You call me boss, and I will tell you my opinion from the perspective of a boss. You asked for this, so don't pretend to be pitiful here."

Emma Stone's eyes lit up, she turned to face him, pulled up her skirt, and revealed some career lines.

"Link, am I sexy?"

"Well, it's not bad. There's a lot of room for improvement. Come on!"

Link looked her up and down and smiled.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Emma Stone puffed out her chest and said

"Hey, Link, boxing is so cool, how about we learn boxing from you too."

Paul Walker came over with Casey Affleck, James Franco and others and shouted.

After the party, Link drove back home. Before entering the villa, he saw Selena dragging a suitcase and slowly walking out, wearing a blue nightgown and slippers, followed by two kittens Olivia and Meridian.

Link asked her where she was going, and Selena said she was going home. When she spoke, her eyes slowly turned red, and her big eyes were full of tears, like a homeless little girl.

"Enough, enough, stop crying, as if someone is going to bully you."

Link said helplessly.

"If you want to bully me, I will add wine to your glass, and almost make you lose the game. Taylor said you will beat me."

Selena sniffed.

"She scared you."

"Really? Don't you blame me?"

Selena looked up at him and asked.

Link wanted to hit her a few times to teach her a lesson, but seeing her pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he flicked her forehead lightly.

"This is a lesson. If you dare to mess around next time, I'll let you grow a horn here."

"OK, I promise not to mess around."

Selena wiped the tears from her face and smiled with squinting eyes.

Link shook his head and picked up her suitcase to go back. Suddenly, he felt that the suitcase in his hand was light. He opened it and saw that there was nothing inside.

Selena's little face was sluggish for a moment, picked up the two kittens and ran to the villa, shouting as she ran:

"You just said, don't blame me, you are a big man, you have to do what you say."

"Hey, can you be more professional when acting? Why don't you put something in the box?"

"Sorry, I forgot, I will remember it next time."

Selena shouted crisply.

"Ms. Gomez, you are so polite."

Taylor and Catherine heard their conversation in the living room and couldn't help laughing.

Link shook his head, a little regretful for being too soft on her.

After the boxing match, the media hyped up his becoming the super middleweight Grand Slam champion, saying that he was the first boxer in boxing history to achieve "Olympic champion" + "single-level Grand Slam", at the age of 20, and the fastest to achieve the Grand Slam, taking less than 18 months.

Both of these are new records.

Boxing magazines such as "The Ring", "The Ring" and "Boxing" also actively commented on his performance in several super middleweight matches, calling him "the king of boxing champions", "the next golden boy", "a man with both beauty, talent and iron fists".

"The Ring" magazine also updated the P4P ranking for him.

P4P is a concept in boxing terminology, which stands for "Pound for Pound", which means comparing boxers of the same weight to see who is stronger, and sometimes comparing them with boxers of different levels.

P4P is not only about the weight of the boxer, but also takes into account the boxer's comprehensive skills, commercial value, and comprehensive strength.

On the P4P list, Link is the well-deserved first in the super middleweight class, whether it is technology, comprehensive strength, or commercial value.

On the overall list, he is temporarily ranked fourth, the first is Mayweather, the second is Pacquiao, the third is Klitschko, the fifth is De La Hoya, the sixth is Calzaghe, and the seventh is Hopkins.

"Ring" also gave the reason for not ranking him in the top three, that is, he has been in the professional boxing world for too long, the number of games is too few, and there are too few hardcore fans. His influence in the foreign boxing world is temporarily not as good as the top three.

Link also recognizes this point. Mayweather and others have been in the boxing world for more than ten years and have experienced dozens of battles. They have left a deep impression on many boxing fans and have a deeper foundation.

There is still a lot of room for improvement in this regard.
