Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion Chapter 447 - 375: The New MTV Session

After Tesla went public, Link's public image also shone as his net worth increased.

Apart from being praised by Mr. Thomp, Mr. Swift, and Wendi Deng, the attitude of netizens towards him also underwent a 180-degree change online.

Those who once criticized him as a scumbag now began to understand and idolize him.

They thought that at 21 years old, being physically fit, hugely famous, and wealthy, it was normal for a man like him to be embroiled in so scandals.

Just like the Hollywood mogul Howard Hughes in the 30s and 40s who was rumored to have dated Catherine Hepburn, Jean Harlow, Ava Gardner, and other actresses.

A lack of scandals would make him seem lacking in masculine charm, not cool at all.

Many netizens posted online, asking Link how to achieve his level of success and hoped to learn a few tricks from him.

Link uniformly replied, practice boxing.

So netizens supported the idea, saying they would take up boxing to beco the next Link and make big money while attracting beautiful won.

Others issued a 'disfigurent warning' and posted photos of the famous actor Mickey Rourke.

Before becoming a professional Boxer, Mickey was a Hollywood heartthrob, as popular as Brad Pitt. After turning pro, he could only play ugly villain roles in "Iron Man 2," "Once Upon a Ti in xico," and "Sin City."

It was nearly impossible for an ordinary person to replicate Link's success.

So netizens suggested that now Link had money, he should retire from boxing to protect his handso face.

This opinion garnered a lot of support from female fans who thought being handso was more important than winning the Golden Belt.

Because of these remarks, many dia outlets predicted he was preparing to retire from boxing after becoming a billionaire.

This unconfird piece of news even beca a hot topic before the MTV Video Music Awards.

On September 16, at the red carpet event of the MTV Video Music Awards, a reporter asked him about this, questioning if it was true.

Link firmly denied it, expressing that boxing was his favorite sport and life-long career, and even if he had to fight until fifty and couldn't fight any longer, he wouldn't easily step down from the ring.

Fans who enjoyed watching his boxing matches began making noise on site, applauding and cheering for his response.

"Mr. Baker, a slight tangent, a few days ago you acknowledged on Twitter that Taylor is pregnant with your child. After the child is born, would you consider reuniting with Taylor, or take on the responsibilities of a father?"

Outside the Nokia Theatre, host Johnny Depp asked with a microphone in hand.

Link gave him a helpless look. This was the red carpet at the MTV Awards, and this guy wasn't asking about the awards but chose to dig into gossip.

That's the downside of having too many scandals. Every ti he attended a public event, reporters sward him with all sorts of questions, leading to his rare appearances at public events nowadays.

Link thought for a mont and gave a firm answer, stating he was still negotiating with Taylor for the right to visit her and the child, and would consider taking the child under his care if Taylor was too busy with work after the birth.

"Mr. Baker, won't this affect your relationship with Miss Ivanka? With Miss Ivanka taking the initiative to visit Taylor in Los Angeles, does it an she has accepted this child? Also, when Miss Ivanka t Taylor, do you know what they talked about?"

Johnny Depp asked.

These questions obviously exceeded Link's expectations. He waved his hand and said, "Johnny, this is a live MTV event, can you not ask questions unrelated to MTV?"

"Uh, haha, okay then!"

Johnny Depp switched to other questions.

For instance, he received 11 nominations at this year's MTV awards and asked how many awards he planned to win, noting that musicians under Link's music label including himself had garnered 19 nominations, which nearly accounted for a quarter of all nominees. The dia joked this year's MTV Video Music Awards could be called the Link-MTV Awards; he was asked his thoughts on this.

Link hadn't thought about how many awards he would win; to a musician,-selling four to five million albums in the United States and ten to twenty million globally was the best reward, the most valuable honor, other awards were just icing on the cake.

This was why in the past two years, when releasing albums, he focused on promoting and trying to sell as many albums as possible, and rarely engaged in public relations for awards.

Regarding the second question, that many artists under Link music had been nominated for MTV awards this year was simply a reflection of their capability.

Lana, Mars, Wiz Khalifa, and Justin Bieber, all released albums late last year that each sold over a million copies in the United States, placing them within the top twenty in album sales for the year 09/10.

They all had the potential to win awards.

However, in response, he would only say he was grateful to the MTV awards jury, that Link music was born for music and would continue to produce better music to thank the fans and everyone's support.

After the interview, Link left the red carpet area and entered the main hall of the Nokia Theatre, the venue for this year's MTV award ceremony.

Since he arrived a bit late.

When he showed up, most of the nominated individuals had already arrived.

Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Kesha, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Pink, Lana Del Rey, Mars, Eminem, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, The Black Eyed Peas, Linkin Park, Green Day Band, and others, all familiar faces.

There were also so new faces, including Jaden Smith who rose to fa with "The Karate Kid," Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield, the lead actors from "The Social Network," Sofia Vergara who beca popular through "Modern Family," and Emma Stone who rose to fa with "Scandal Plan," among others.
