Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion Chapter 644 - 466: One King, Four Queens

```

"Wow, Link's punch was so fierce, it almost knocked off Clinton's chin."

In the office, Tiffany held her little fist and bumped her own chin, then with an "ahh," her jaw slanted, turning her into a lopsided-mouth girl.

"Alright, go play on the side, I still have work to do."

Seeing that Link had won without getting hurt, Ivanka pushed away her computer and continued to browse her emails.

"Okay!"

Tiffany hugged her computer, leaning on the couch playing online gas, chirping and shouting disorderly.

"Tiffany, do you like acting that much?"

Ivanka yelled.

"What?"

Tiffany looked up and over.

"If you like making movies, you could start by taking classes at a drama school; becoming an actress could be nice for you in the future."

Ivanka suggested.

"No! I play a zombie in the crew because it's fun, but if I were to take acting classes, that would be too painful. I don't want to make trouble for myself."

Tiffany shook her head repeatedly.

Ivanka glanced at her, shook her head helplessly, and said no more.

After a while, Tiffany received a phone call saying a crew needed new zombies, offering 20 US dollars an hour, asking if she wanted to co. Tiffany imdiately jumped up, put down her computer, and rushed out after a hasty greeting.

Ivanka rubbed her forehead and continued with her work.

The boxing match ended, and Link smoothly secured the IBF Light Heavyweight contender title. His next match would be a direct confrontation with the IBF champion Chad Dawson.

Professional record: 24 fights, 24 wins, 24 KOs.

Originally, the championship contender match was a secondary event, not as attention-grabbing as a championship match, but because the participant was Link, the match also drew the attention of many boxing fans.

The North Arican PPV sales reached 1.24 million, totaling about 93 million US dollars, with approximately 42 million from online broadcasting. Adding ticket, hotel, casino, advertising sponsorships, and other associated revenues, the match grossed a total of 180 million US dollars.

Link's personal inco from this match was about 56 million US dollars, which is 40 percent more than his last match against Belrut Shunov on Hong Kong Island, and not bad compared to the match against Hoyle at the end of last year.

By inco, his influence in the boxing arena had undoubtedly grown larger.

In the past, when he was not famous, his fights heavily relied on the promotional company spending money on publicity and creating hype, often costing tens of millions of US dollars.

Now, he was a world superstar, a global public figure.

As soon as his matches were scheduled, the mainstream dia in the United States would cover the news actively and help with publicity because the matches themselves were valuable big news events, appealing to a paying audience.

That's the advantage of being a top boxer. Once at the top level, dia worldwide would promote them for free.

This kind of treatnt was once received by greats like Ali and Tyson, who were chased by dia around the globe and beca legends in boxing.

In the 90s, top boxers Roy Jones and Mayweather erged. In terms of ability and record, they were no less than Ali and Tyson.

However, due to changes in international situations, after the 2000s, Arica's influence internationally declined and boxing was no longer as globally celebrated.

International dia lost interest in such news and boxing stars.

They didn't enjoy the free promotional resources foreign dia offer, and their global fa was far less than that of Tyson and Ali.

With Link, he was a top star, a Playboy with much to talk about, with significant global influence. The dia found it profitable to report news about him, and were willing to cover his boxing matches.

The increase in free dia resources also led to Link's influence growing bigger and bigger in the United States and even internationally, like a snowball effect.

Correspondingly, his inco from matches would also get higher and higher.

There was another reason.

Since last year, many of his matches took place abroad, with only one against Hoyle in the United States.

Having fewer dostic matches increased audience interest; this approach also belonged to a kind of hunger marketing.

If all four matches for the year were held in the United States, with expenses for tickets, PPV and others reaching thousands of dollars, even hardcore boxing fans couldn't afford it.

This was one of the reasons why, even if the prize money wasn't much, he often competed overseas.

"Link, Nike's marketing departnt has sent a partnership agreent. Firstly, they invite you to be a spokesperson, with an initial negotiation of 150 million for a 5-year endorsent. Additionally, they have submitted a cooperation plan to create a new sports brand using your na. Once the new brand launches, you can earn 5% dividends from annual sales."

In the office, Franco handed over a docunt.

Link flipped through the contract, which was similar to the partnership that Nike had with Jordan to create the Jordan Brand and Adidas with Kanye West for Yeezy, leveraging a star's fa to sell rchandise.

The more the brand's products sell, the more the celebrity earns.

The 5% sales dividend offered by Nike was decent, too, almost the sa as what Jordan earned annually from the Jordan Brand.

But there was a condition in the contract: once he partnered with Nike, he couldn't endorse any other clothing brands.

This condition wouldn't work.

He had an endorsent deal for Dior nswear, had just signed one for CK underwear at the beginning of the year, and a GUESS jeans endorsent. The annual earnings from these three brands combined were nearly thirty to forty million.

Partnering with Nike would an giving up those endorsents, which wasn't worthwhile.

The contract Nike offered wasn't for a lifeti endorsent.
