Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 112

Chapter 112 Invitation to Cooperation

"Link, look, this is the match arrangement between you and Tyson."

Evaka took out a piece of information and pushed it over.

Link opened it and took a look. The match between him and Tyson was scheduled for December 15th at the Towne Plaza Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

This casino features retro buildings such as the Taj Mahal and the Pyramid as its signature. It has a large internal space and can accommodate more than 10,000 people. It has also hosted boxing matches many times and was one of the famous entertainment venues in Atlantic City in the past.

It's just that in recent years, Atlantic City's attractiveness to tourists has dropped significantly, and the gap with entertainment cities such as Las Vegas and Los Angeles has gradually widened.

Top Entertainment's major casinos have also begun to decline. By the time of the financial crisis this year, the real estate and tourism industries have been hit hard and debts have increased.

The media will only break the news that this casino is going bankrupt.

"no problem!"

Link is a boxer, so he doesn't actually need to see these things. As long as Ivaca negotiates with Franco and Tyson, he can follow Simon to participate in the competition.

As for how to divide the 10 million competition prize money, that is a matter between him and Tyson, and there is no need for Ivaca to talk about it.

So he felt that Ivaca didn't ask him out to watch the boxing match just to read this information.

Ivaca shook her wine glass and said casually, "Link, when I heard the song "Despacito", I just thought it sounded good. I didn't expect it to be so popular. It's been played on the radio every day recently, and even my father has heard it. "

“Well, what do you think Mr. Tomp?”

Link asked.

"My father did not comment on this song, he just said that you are an outstanding young man and he admires you very much. I have heard him comment on many young people over the years, and no one has been praised by him as many times in a row as you. "

“Haha, it's my pleasure, thank you Mr. Tom!”

Link said while holding up the goblet.

Ivaca clinked glasses with him and glanced at him, "Link, many people have commented that you have great potential in music. Have you ever considered signing a contract with a record company and becoming a singer?"

Link nodded, "I have thought about this. Boxing is a relatively niche sport. If you want to promote boxing and yourself, it is difficult to rely on boxing alone. I have thought about becoming an actor, but I am a boxer. It's too difficult to find a role that suits me, and singers don't have so high requirements for body shape, and their working hours are more flexible. Currently, several major record companies are contacting me, and I'm considering it.”

Ivaca leaned on the sofa, crossed her long legs, listened to his words quietly, and nodded her chin after he finished speaking.

"It's not bad to join a big record company. They have a lot of resources and can help you become famous quickly. However, there are also many artists under big companies, so the competition for resources is tight. You are a part-time singer. After a song becomes popular, there is no guarantee that subsequent songs will also be popular. It can continue to be popular, so they won't support you too much, and it won't last long.”

Ivaca's words are similar to what Catherine said, saying that large companies are like a press. After they are squeezed out, one is replaced with another. Except for the big star singers who have their own traffic, everyone else just fills up after entering.

Link understood this, but he didn't quite understand the purpose of the other party talking about this.

Iwaka blinked her charming eyes, her eyelashes curved like hooks, "Link, I think a small record company is more suitable for your development, preferably one with no other singers under it, just you." The company, after you join the company, they will focus all their resources on you. If you make money, the company will also make money. Your interests are related, and the company will not and dare not give up on you easily. "

Link looked at Evaka and said: "It sounds very good, but there are very few record companies like this. Eva, you entered the entertainment industry earlier than me. Do you have any good recommendations?"

Iwaka rubbed the wine glass with her fingers and smiled slightly: "What do you think of Tangpu Entertainment?"

“Tang Pu Entertainment?”

Link raised his sword eyebrows, and the puzzle he had been pondering for a long time was finally solved. After talking for a long time, Ivaca also came to sign a contract with him.

“Yes, Tompu Entertainment is mainly engaged in hotels, casinos, reality shows, models, music and other businesses. We have released albums and photos for previous Miss Americas, with the number of releases exceeding 100,000, so we are no stranger to this field.”

Ivaca straightened her waist and hips, raised a finger, and said confidently like Mr. Tom, "Link, if you are willing to join the music company of Tom Pu Entertainment, we will mobilize all the resources of Tom Pu Entertainment. To promote you and your album, I guarantee you that the investment will not be less than 5 million, and we will strive to make you a first-line or even a superstar."

Link said: "It sounds very good, but I don't understand one thing. If Tangpu Entertainment wants to get involved in the music scene, it would undoubtedly be more suitable to cooperate with professional singers. Why would they choose me, an amateur singer, to cooperate?"

"The reason is very simple. My father admires you very much, and I am also very optimistic about you. We all think that you have the potential to become a superstar, and we want to shape you. Of course, more importantly, you can also help the company create profits. Let's work together. Win and create more brilliant achievements in the music industry together, what do you think?”

Iwaka said with excitement.

Link also looked at the other person's face, his beautiful eyes and smiling red lips, and felt a little regretful.

I thought I had sung songs and danced with him, so we could be considered friends, but I still overestimated my own charm. Ivaca didn't think so at all.

The other party only regards him as a tool to make money.

Because he knows that the news that Tompu Entertainment is about to go bankrupt is true, and Tompu Entertainment will be taken over by another billionaire Carl Icahn next year.

Joining Tompu Entertainment at this time, one album will not help the company come back to life, it will only become a bargaining chip for the other party in the transaction.

This date was indeed a trap, and this woman is not a simple character.

"Come on Evander!" Just as he was thinking about how to decline her proposal, a loud shout came from the French window. Link stood up and came to the French window. The match between Holyfield and Valuev began.

Holyfield wore a red cape and walked into the boxing ring from the east aisle.

He is 46 years old, 189 centimeters tall and weighs 214 pounds. He is strong and muscular, like a chimpanzee.

But compared with his opponent Valuev, he is much worse.

Valuev is 35 years old, 213 centimeters tall, weighs 310 pounds, has a hairy upper body, and looks very close to the giant in the movie.

There is a big difference in age, height and weight between the two, and it was also promoted by the media as an "unequal" duel.

This match was hosted by Gilberto Mendoza, President of the WBA Association.

After the game started, Valuev swung his giant fist and launched a fierce attack on Holyfield. Although this guy was huge, his movements were not slow. His 215-centimeter-long arms were like the claws of the Titan in the game, moving around. Swing it to destroy all nearby life.

Because of the large height difference and because Holyfield is 46 years old and has limited physical strength, it is difficult to KO Valuev. He can only use his superb boxing skills to continuously attack Valuev's chest, abdomen, and chin. I want to use this method to win with points.

“Who do you think will win?”

Ivaca asked standing next to him.

“Valuyev, Holyfield is too old and lacks physical strength and speed. Ten years earlier, he would have won.”

Link commented objectively.

“When you said you could defeat Valuev in three rounds, were you serious?”

Ivaca turned to look at him and asked.

The corner of Link's mouth moved. When the reporter interviewed him, he threw those people out together. He didn't care whether the other person was the little Bernard Hopkins or the giant Valuev. He sprayed them with a piece of them. .

Now I have seen the 310-pound behemoth Valuev with my own eyes. The visual impact is greater, and the opponent's game is also wilder, stronger and faster than imagined.

He is confident that he can defeat the opponent with points within 12 rounds, but within three rounds, the probability of success is extremely small.

“It's very difficult, but if I face him, I'm confident I can defeat him within three rounds.”

Link said confidently.

Ivaca looked at him suspiciously, with an inexplicable smile hanging on the corners of her **** lips.

"Do not believe?"

Link asked as he looked at her.

Ivaca shrugged her shoulders, touched the trophy in her hair and said, "The difference in your height and weight is so big that it's hard to believe that you can KO him in three rounds."

"Why don't you make a bet? In the next three years, I will challenge Valuev. If I win in three rounds, you can write a hundred times on paper. Link is the most powerful boxer in the world. Why? Sample?"

“What if I win?”

“You can't win because I can't lose.”

Link said confidently while looking at the ring.

"No, since it is a bet, there must be winners and losers. If I win, you will tell a hundred people that Ivaca is the most beautiful woman in the world and a queen. Do you dare to bet?"

Ivaca raised her chin, stretched out her palms, and said with a hint of provocation in her brown pupils.

Link looked at her and smiled, then raised his hand and high-fived her to make a promise.

On the boxing ring, after 12 rounds of difficult competition, the game was over. The ring referee held the arms of the two people and stood on the ring, facing the referee's seat.

The three referees submitted the scores of the two players, which were 114:114, 114:115, and 112:115 respectively.

Valuyev won the match by a narrow margin and successfully defended his WBA heavyweight belt.

Seeing this score, Link shook his head.

This is the United States, Lao Huo is the famous American boxing champion, and Valuev is the Russian boxing champion. Unless there is a big gap between the two sides, according to normal operations, the winner of this game should be Lao Huo.

Favoring domestic boxers in competitions is a routine practice in international competitions, not even unspoken rules. This is one of the reasons why many boxers are reluctant to compete abroad.

But this time Lao Huo lost, and the points between the two sides were still so close, the things behind it would not be too simple.

Happy Year of the Dragon, I wish you all good luck and prosperity overnight.
