"Golden Boy" Hoya looked at today's newspaper, and the news of "Lin Ye May Fight with Rinares" caught his eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The incident was reported in several newspapers and magazines, and the media paid great attention to the match between the two. This made Hoya nod in satisfaction.

Opposite him sat Sheffield, in recent years, the development of the Golden Boy Promotion Company has become more and more smooth, and has faintly become the number one promotion company in the boxing world. This is inseparable from Sheffield's dedication, and Hoya said to Sheffield: "It seems that the hype of this game is going well, and everyone is starting to pay attention to this game. Sheffield, how are the talks with Lin's promotion company? ”

"Natalia, the head of Lin's promotion company, did not agree with our PPV sharing agreement, and she also demanded a higher appearance fee from us." Sheffield Road. Sheffield's PPV share to Natalia is 3 percent for Lin Ye and 7 percent for Rinares. This made Natalia decisively refuse. PPV share refers to HBO and showtime, the two largest cable TV pay channels in the United States, which sell live broadcasts of the game in high definition, and paying users can buy live viewing of the game. Generally speaking, the more important the game, the more expensive the PPV, and the more paying users will buy.

Half of the revenue from PPV is divided by cable TV payers, and the rest is shared by fighters. Lin Ye only took 3 percent, which undoubtedly made Natalia unacceptable. In terms of fame and strength, Lin Ye is not inferior to Rinares.

Huo Ya said: "Even if the other party disagrees, then we can talk about it again, and we can give him more benefits." But this game has to be facilitated. Sheffield nodded, he understood the meaning. By defeating Lin Ye, Rinales can leap to three belts and gain even greater fame and become the brightest star in the ultra-featherweight division.

In the eyes of boxing promotion companies and promoters, the more famous and influential the boxers under their hands, the higher the appearance fee and PPV share they get, and the greater the benefits they can get. Over the years, Hoya's focus has been more on his boxing promotion company, so he wants to enhance the fame and influence of his contracted fighters as much as possible, and Lin Ye is undoubtedly a good stepping stone for Rinares in his eyes.

At the Victory Boxing Gym, Natalia received another call from Sheffield. Putting down the phone, Natalia said to Lin Ye, who was playing sandbags on the side: "Lin, the Golden Boy Promotion Company agreed to divide the PPV into 55 points, and your appearance fee has also risen to 300,000 US dollars, what do you think of the conditions they gave?" ”

Lin Ye stopped training, listened to Natalia's words, and suddenly had a new idea in his mind: "Natalia, do you think we can talk like this, whoever wins this game will have all the PPV shares." ”

Natalia frowned slightly when she heard this: "It's too risky to do this, if you lose, you won't get a single point in PPV." Are you sure you want to do this? ”

Lin Ye said confidently: "I will definitely win, Natalia." ”

"Okay, then I'll give it a try." Natalia called Sheffield and consulted the idea with him. Unexpectedly, Sheffield quickly agreed. In Sheffield's eyes, Rinales had a ninety-nine-percent win rate against Lin Ye, so he readily agreed.

After the negotiation between the two parties, the contract is signed. The tournament date is set for 40 days later at the 16,170-seat Long Island Coliseum in New York. Tickets for the tournament are set at $105, $75, $50, and $30, with 55 splits of the ticket revenue for both sides. Within 10 days of the signing of the agreement, Lin Ye and Rinares will promote the match in four cities: New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington. The match will be broadcast by Showtime.

After Lin Ye confirmed with Rinales that there will be a WB0/WBA/IBF unification match, showtime also began to prepare for the pre-sale of this match's showtime--ppv. The exact sales figures will not be available until after the competition.

In the conference room of Showtime's headquarters, the CEO of Showtime's cable TV payer is talking to the head of the sports live broadcast department.

"Brian, what do you think of this match between Lin and Rinares?"

"Boss, I'm very optimistic about this game. Fans are looking forward to this fight, and I think the PPV sales will be very positive at that time. ”

"Yes, Brian." The CEO sat on the sofa and moved his body that was a little too bloated to find a more comfortable position, "Actually, in my opinion, this fight is more of a hype, Lin and Linares are both newcomers, and there is still a big gap between them and the real big name fighters." Real PPV sales don't sell much, that's for sure. ”

Hearing the CEO's words, Brian's heart beat faster. Isn't the CEO optimistic about this game? But he single-handedly facilitated the broadcast of this game, what does the CEO think of him?

"Don't be nervous, Brian. Although the PPV sales of this game will not sell a lot, this broadcast will not lose money either. Do you know why I'm talking to you about this game? ”

"This ・・・・・・"

"It's because of Lin, that Chinese man." "In boxing, I've seen big names from many countries, British, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Russian, Canadian. But I've never seen a Chinese person. It's a shame, you know what a huge market Huaguo is, they have 1.3 billion people! This was originally a boxing desert, and now, Lin, has appeared. This is an opportunity, you know what an amazing profit David Scott of the NBA has earned with Huaguo's yao! ”

"You mean, sign a long-term broadcast contract with Lin?" Brian said in a deep voice.

"Yes, an exclusive long-term contract, we can give him enough benefits to make him work with us only in the future."

"Then, are you sure that Huaguo kid can become the top boxing champion?" Brian regretted it a little after saying this, and he stared at the CEO's face carefully and nervously.

"It's the same as investing, you can't be 100% sure if you're making money or losing money. But if we win, then, HOB, will really be trampled under our feet. The CEO squinted his eyes and said meaningfully.

Brian quickly got the contract ready. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, prevent competitor HOB from intervening, and ensure that the contract is signed, Brian also applied for a $1 million signing fee, and as long as Lin Ye signed, he would receive $1 million.

Lin Ye looked at the contract, Showtime is the largest cable TV payer in the United States, and the terms they gave are also very favorable, and it is not bad for their games to be broadcast by Showtime. If it were to be replaced by another boxing champion, Showtime would not have given such a preferential contract at all. Lin Ye asked Natalia to carefully confirm the contract, and after confirming that there were no other problems, she signed it. The term of the contract is 6 years.

Brian took the contract signed by Lin Ye, shook hands with Lin Ye and said, "Lin, the cooperation with showtime will allow you to get the maximum benefits, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”
