Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

At the party, Franco had some good news for Link.

He just received data from Nielsen Data Consulting Company.

This match's PPV signal sold 1.32 million units in North America, with 860,000 high-definition signals at 79.9 US dollars each, and 460,000 standard signals at 69.9 US dollars each, totaling revenues of 99 million US dollars, just shy of breaking the 100 million mark.

According to the pre-fight agreement with the organizer and the signal broadcaster, Link and Dynasty Promotions are entitled to 50% of the PPV revenue from North America, which is 49.5 million US dollars.

There's also the appearance fee for this match, bonus sharing, box office sharing, etc., amounting to about 25 million US dollars.

Total revenue is 74.5 million US dollars.

According to Link's contract with Dynasty Promotions.

After obtaining any one of the WBA-WBC-IBF-WBO belts, the income sharing from the fight is 6:4;

If he gets more than three belts, the income sharing changes to 7:3;

After obtaining two heavyweight Golden Belts, the income sharing will be 8:2.

According to a 7:3 split, Link will get 70% of the 74.5 million US dollars, which is 52.15 million US dollars.

Earning over fifty million dollars from one match, that's not less than last year's De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao fight.

"Link, do you remember what you told me last year on the Silver Star train? You told me that your potential was comparable to Apple Inc., Google, Microsoft, that missing out on you would be missing out on investing in Apple or Microsoft. You also said that your accomplishments in boxing would surpass Holyfield, Mayweather, and Tyson, becoming a boxing superstar.

I was shocked by your words at the time. A newly debuted amateur boxer daring to say such things, I thought you were either a genius or a madman. But I still wanted to take a chance and continued to sign with you. Now, everything has proved that I made the right bet and that you indeed are a very incredible guy."

Franco said excitedly, gesticulating with his hands.

Link smiled lightly, also recalling the conversation on the train back then. He had no intention of signing; he just wanted an excuse to dismiss Franco, so he made some grandiose statements and even quoted an astonishing figure of one hundred million dollars.

When he mentioned one hundred million dollars back then, Franco was shocked speechless, Mario's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and Coach West was also startled awake.

Everyone found it unbelievable.

But looking at it now, the one hundred million dollar figure was not excessive.

From last year to this year's few professional fights, Dynasty Promotions has brought in tens of millions of dollars. Although some money has also been spent on promoting and hyping matches, it's only a small part compared to what was earned.

Given the current situation, it will be no problem for Dynasty Promotions to surpass a valuation of one billion dollars in another three to five years.

"Franco, don't get too excited, our career is just beginning."

Link said, lifting his champagne glass.

"Yes, you're right. We've only conquered the Super Middleweight rank, and there's still the Light Heavyweight, Cruiserweight, Heavyweight, Middleweight to go. The higher the rank, the more attention it gets. Now we're making sixty to seventy million a match, what will it be in three to five years? It's unimaginable," Franco exclaimed.

Link nodded and discussed the Golden Belt raffle with Franco.

After the match, he had to continue the tour, and the company needed to assist with the raffle.

Because when presenting the Golden Belt, it was also necessary to use media channels to promote and hype it up, to secure more coverage and traffic for the sport of boxing and for Link personally, in the world's mainstream media.

These matters were complex and required teamwork.

Franco assured there would be no problem.

"Hey, boss, congratulations on becoming the King of Boxers; you were amazing in the ring just now," said Emma Stone, approaching with a glass in hand as Franco walked away.

Link smiled gently at her, "Thanks. Is 'Scandal Plan' almost done?"

"Almost, only your part is left. Director Gould asked me when you would be available."

Link thought for a moment; it had to be next week. He had intended to rest for a few days after the fight and then immerse himself in the tour, but it seemed there was no time to rest now.

"Next week? Okay, I got it," Emma Stone said, her hazel eyes twinkling with a smile.

"How did it go with the recommendation to meet Woody Allen last time?" Link asked as they walked.

Emma Stone shrugged, "Allen said I wasn't sexy enough. He needs a more sensual actress. Do you think I'm sexy?"

Link glanced at her. She was wearing a purple off-shoulder long dress, slender but not very curvy; based on body shape, she was not considered sexy. However, young European and American actresses often follow the 'mature' route, becoming sexier as they reach their thirties, and Emma was no exception.

"You're just starting your career, so start with a fresh image. In a couple of years, think about whether sexiness matters. Besides, Hollywood has many sexy actresses; you don't need to compete with them in that aspect."

"I get it; I'm not sexy enough," Emma said.

Emma Stone tugged at the corners of her mouth, displaying a completely dejected expression.

Link shook his head, "You call me boss, so I'll speak from the perspective of a boss. This is something you brought upon yourself, so don't play the pity card here."

Emma's eyes brightened, and she turned to face him, tugging at her dress to reveal a bit more of her cleavage.

"Link, do you think I'm sexy?"

"Hmm, not bad. There's significant room for improvement. Keep it up!"

Link said with a laugh after sizing her up.

"Alright, I'll try harder."

Declared Emma, puffing out her chest.

"Hey, Link, boxing is so cool. What if we learned boxing from you?"

Paul Walker called out, accompanied by Casey Affleck and James Franco.

After the party had ended, Link drove home, but before he even entered his villa, he saw Selena dragging a suitcase out slowly, dressed in a blue nightgown, with slippers on, followed by two little kittens, Olivia and Meridian.

Link asked her where she was going. Selena said she was going back home to live and her eyes slowly reddened as she spoke, her large eyes filling with tears, looking like a homeless little girl.

"Enough already, stop crying. You're acting like someone's out to bully you."

Link said, unable to hide his exasperation.

"You're going to bully me. I added alcohol to your cup, almost causing you to lose the match. Taylor said you would beat me up,"

Sniffled Selena as she spoke.

"She was just scaring you."

"Really? You're not mad at me?"

Selena looked up and asked him.

Link initially thought about giving her a bit of a scolding to teach her a lesson, but seeing her pitiful state, he couldn't bear it and just flicked her lightly on the forehead.

"That's your lesson. If you dare to mess around again, I'll make sure a horn grows out of here."

"OK, I promise I won't cause any trouble."

Selena wiped the tears off her face, squinting as she smiled.

Link shook his head as he picked up her empty suitcase to take it back, suddenly realizing how light it felt. Opening it, he found nothing inside.

Selena's face froze for a moment, then she scooped up the two kittens and ran towards the villa, shouting as she ran:

"You just said you weren't mad at me, you're a big man, you should keep your word."

"Hey, can't you act more professional during a performance? At least put something in the suitcase?"

"Sorry, I forgot. I'll definitely remember next time,"

Shouted Selena in a clear voice.

"Miss Gomez, aren't you polite."

Taylor and Catherine laughed from within the living room, having heard their exchange.

Link shook his head, regretting being too soft-hearted toward her.

After the boxing match, the media heavily promoted him as the Super Middleweight Grand Slam champion, hailing him as the youngest boxer in history to achieve both 'Olympic Gold Medalist' and 'Single Rank Grand Slam' at the age of 20, as well as the fastest person to reach the Grand Slam, doing so in under 18 months.

Both were new records.

Magazines like "Fight Platform," "The Ring," and "Boxing" also positively reviewed his performances in the Super Middleweight matches, calling him 'King of Kings', 'the next Golden Boy', and 'a man who possesses both beauty, talent, and a hard fist'.

"Fight Platform" magazine also updated his P4P ranking.

P4P is a concept in boxing terminology representing "Pound for Pound," meaning a comparison of boxers at equal weight to see who has higher skill levels, sometimes also comparing boxers across different ranks.

P4P is not merely about the weight of boxers but also encompasses their overall skills, commercial value, and overall strength.

In the P4P ranking for the Super Middleweight, Link is undeniably the best in terms of technique, overall strength, and commercial value.

In the overall standings, he is currently fourth, with Mayweather in first, Pacquiao second, the younger Klitschko third, De La Hoya fifth, Carlzah sixth, and Hopkins seventh.

"Fight Platform" also explained why he hadn't been ranked in the top three: his professional boxing career was too short, he had too few fights, and he didn't have enough diehard fans, which meant his influence in the international boxing world couldn't match the top three yet.

Link recognized this, as Mayweather and others had been in boxing for over a decade, fought dozens of battles, and left a lasting impression on many fans, creating a deeper legacy.

In this regard, he still had a lot of room for improvement.
