Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 578

Chapter 578 Appointment after the game

After the game, Link held a celebration reception at the MGM Hotel, inviting many colleagues, media reporters, celebrities, and die-hard boxing fans to attend.

At the cocktail party, everyone talked about this game, and everyone was impressed by Link's tactics and strength. They said that he played this game very well, and it can be called a classic battle and the best game of the year.

O'Neal also expressed his admiration to him in person, claiming to be his biggest fan. In order to celebrate his victory, O'Neal also twerked and danced in public, making the guests happy.

"Link, I have a question."

De La Hoya stood on the sidelines holding a champagne glass, looked at O'Neal who was dancing wildly and asked, "Did you hide your strength in the first three rounds?"

"No!"

Link said calmly.

"Don't hide it, I just watched the video of your match again. In the first three rounds, you hit Klitschko's chin multiple times, only causing him a little injury. In the fourth round, you knocked out Klitschko with one punch. Ke, this must be your tactic. You are digging a hole in front to prepare for the final punch, right?

But I'm a little curious, since you can knock out Klitschko with one punch in the fourth round, why don't you attack with all your strength from the front and try to KO Klitschko in the first round? "

Hoya asked.

"Is the game good to watch?"

"Not bad, the level is very high."

Hoya said objectively.

"As long as it looks good, why do you ask so many questions?"

Link smiled, walked to Simon with a wine glass, and asked him to go to the hospital to visit Klitschko tomorrow, hoping that he was not seriously injured.

After the celebration party, Link went back to the hotel room to rest, took a shower, and called Ivaca to chat about the game and tomorrow's schedule. After finishing the game promotion, he would return to Los Angeles in the afternoon.

After hanging up the phone, I found a missed call on my phone, a message from Kristen Stewart, saying that she was coming to Las Vegas today and wanted to have a drink with him, and asked him if it was convenient right now.

Link raised his eyebrows and sent her the room number.

After a while, bodyguard Bob reported that Kristen had arrived. Kristen Stewart was wearing a cap and a long dress, standing in the aisle of the presidential suite, holding a bag in her hand.

Link opened the door and invited the other party to come in.

"Are you alone?"

Christine took off her hat and walked into the room to take a look.

"Shouldn't it be alone?"

"I saw on the news that after your boxing matches, you often find a group of women to have parties in the hotel. Today you defeated your opponent and became a boxing champion praised by everyone. You are alone in your room at night?"

Christine said.

"When you come, you become two people."

"Don't get me wrong, I just came to buy you a drink. Congratulations on winning the game. I have no other thoughts."

Christine held two cans of beer and handed him one.

Link smiled softly and took the beer without opening it. He put his arms around her waist and pressed her against the wall. He looked down at her fair and delicate face and her surprised eyes and said, "Forget it about drinking. Now I just want to ML, I hope you think the same as me.”

Kristine looked into his deep eyes, her pink earlobes gradually turning red, "Aren't you not interested in me? The last few times I lay on the sofa and asked you to help me apply medicine, you didn't touch me. Why do you want to be with me now?" Me ML?”

"What do you think?"

Link touched her earlobe and saw her body trembling slightly under her long skirt, her eyes slowly closing, her breathing becoming rapid, and even the curve of her chest becoming bulging.

"Open your eyes and look at me."

Link held her chin with his fingers.

Kristine opened her watery eyes, and even her vision became hazy.

Link kissed the girl's eyes.

Kristen couldn't help but hooked her arms around his neck and leaned forward with her red lips.

Link lowered his head to kiss her, held her body up with one hand, and pressed her tightly against the wall.

Vent the anger and desires that were not vented in the boxing ring.

There was no trace of pity. —

After the boxing match, Link finished his promotional work in Las Vegas and returned to Los Angeles to rest.

His various incomes from this game have also been recorded one after another.

The first is the $100 million appearance fee.

In terms of PPV revenue sharing, this game sold a total of 4.52 million copies in North America, with a total revenue of 339 million US dollars. He and Dynasty Promotions received a total of 101 million US dollars in share.

The online live broadcast revenue share is approximately US$35 million.

The box office revenue was divided into 12 million US dollars.

Approximately US$25 million will be shared in advertising sponsorships and other aspects.

After excluding the promotion company's share, his total income in this game reached 245 million US dollars.

Set a new record for personal income in a single game in boxing.

His opponent Klitschko earned 25 million US dollars, which was also the highest income in his career.

In addition, Link used tactics to defeat Klitschko's tactics in this game and won cleanly, which also aroused many people's discussion after the game.

Many colleagues analyzed his tactics on the show. Some said he was cunning, and some said he was smart. No matter how they commented, it did not prevent him from becoming the most eye-catching boxer in the heavyweight field.

However, Link will not be too proud when he sees these praises. Compared with Klitschko, Klitschko is obviously more difficult to deal with.

First of all, Klitschko is 38 years old, younger than Dak, and has more physical strength.

And after Klitschko failed, he would study his playing style and tactics with Xiaoke and simulate training.

Klitschko is more prepared.

It will be more difficult to defeat the opponent with tactics next time.

After playing this game, Link's work for this year is basically completed. He spends the remaining time at home with Iwaka and Sanxiao, and pays attention to the box office performance of recent Lionsgate movies.

"Birdman" has been released for more than a month. The current box office in North America is US$43.24 million, and the cumulative overseas box office has reached US$64.03 million.

The current total box office is 107 million US dollars.

In the four weeks since its release, "The Hunger Games 3" has grossed a total of 362 million U.S. dollars in North American box office and 544 million in overseas box office. The total box office has just exceeded 900 million U.S. dollars.

The box office growth of these two movies has also successfully enabled Lionsgate Pictures' annual total box office to exceed 1.8 billion US dollars, currently 1.84 billion US dollars.

In mid-December, Lionsgate's 18th and final film of the year, "American Hustle," was released.

"American Hustle" is directed by David O. Russell and stars Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro and others.

Link guest stars as the model mayor of Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The movie tells the story of several con artists who jointly defrauded an official. During the fraud, they discovered that the official was a good person, so they used deception to help the official defraud funds to build the city. The con men also retired with success.

The film was originally planned to be released last year, but the schedule was too full, so it was postponed to the end of this year. It is also the main project used by Lionsgate to compete for the Oscars.

The film was first screened in 6 theaters in Los Angeles and New York, with a box office of US$1.13 million in the first week, and the average daily box office per theater was as high as US$26,900. Although it was slightly worse than the single theater box office results of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Birdman", it still ranks among the best in the art world. In this category of movies, this data is very good.

"American Hustle" also has a very good reputation, with a comprehensive media review of 82 points, 22 media ratings are above 85 points, a Rotten Tomatoes freshness score of 87%, and a Yahoo audience score of A.

The New York Post commented that it is a typical David O. Russell genre film that is smart, beautiful, exaggerated, colorful and full of energy. Fans of genre films will not be disappointed. The acting skills of several leading actors are outstanding. It is also well demonstrated in this film. Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence's performances are impeccable. Christian Bale's bald head is also very eye-catching. Even the mayor of Atlantic City played by Link has a bit of black. The taste of humor is highly recommended.

The Los Angeles Times commented that some of the leading actors in the movie cheated for life, some cheated for love, some cheated for dignity, some cheated for the truth, some cheated for survival, all kinds of The liar makes a colorful appearance, which can't help but make people smile.

Due to the good reputation and media praise, the theaters expanded to 2,057 theaters in the second week. The North American box office this week was US$46.83 million, and the cumulative box office was US$47.96 million.

On its 24th day of release, "American Hustle" exceeded 100 million in box office in North America, becoming Lionsgate's 8th film to achieve a box office of over 100 million in North America this year.

The box office performance in overseas regions was also good, with a box office of US$82.27 million in 47 countries and regions in three weeks.

The film's box office in North America exceeded 100 million, helping Lionsgate Pictures' annual total box office reach 1.95 billion US dollars, just one step away from the 2 billion mark.
