Chapter 64: Barrera's Challenge
Inside the café. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The soft sound of piano playing permeates it, as hazy and quiet as the fog covering the moon at night. Natalia gracefully picked up her coffee and took a sip.
Across from her, Guzmán's promoter gritted his teeth and blushed.
"Ms. Natalia, your offer is a bit too much." Guzmán's promoter said, "Three million dollars in appearance fees, PPV tickets split between Lin 7 Guzmán 3, do you think I will accept such terms?" ”
Natalia smiled slightly and said, "Sir, if you don't want to accept it, it's totally fine." Now Lin Ye is the hottest new star in boxing, and I think there are many fighters in the boxing world who want to fight Lin Ye. Just now, Quimper's promoter called me to match up with Lin Ye. Lin Ye also wants to move up to lightweight, and he doesn't want to stay in the super featherweight division for too long. If you say no, then I'll get in touch with Quimper's promoter. ”
"Oh no. We can talk about it a little bit more. It's just that the appearance fee you asked for is too high, 3 million, you must know that Lin has only just entered the boxing world for a year and has only played 11 fights. I think the $1 million appearance fee is reasonable. There is also a PPV share of ticket shares, which should also be 55 points. Guzmán's promoter hurriedly said.
"$3 million, seventy-three shares, no less. Either you agree to this condition, or I'll go find someone else. Natalia put down her coffee, and her words revealed a tone that could not be denied.
"You, you're blackmail!" Guzmán's promoter pointed at Natalia, angry and stuffy in his chest.
Natalia picked up her briefcase and was about to stand up, "Sir, it's a pity that the agreement for this match was not reached, good luck." ”
"Wait!" Guzmán's promoter stood up all of a sudden, gritted his teeth and said, "I can give Lin $2.2 million in appearance fees, and the PPV will be divided into 60% of the tickets!" ”
Natalia listened, ignored it, turned and left, and just after moving two steps, Guzmán's promoter caught up.
"Okay, okay, $3 million appearance fee, seventy-three splits, I promised! Oh my God, you're such a devil! Guzmán's promoter had red eyes and a bleeding heart, and Natalia in front of him was now a vampire in his mind. But there is no other way, the second battle between Guzmán and Lin Ye must be achieved! With Lin Ye's current fame and the grievances of the two sides, this battle will definitely create huge benefits and influence. For Guzman, if he can succeed in revenge in World War II, then he can not only snatch the four gold belts in Lin Ye's hands, but also gain huge fame in one leap! For a fighter, fame and influence represent appearance fees and naked money.
But the price paid this time was so great that Guzmán's promoters could not have imagined the consequences of failure. He prayed in his heart that Guzmán would win the battle.
Natalia turned around and sat back in her chair. "Sir, I think you have made the right decision. Lin and Guzmán's World War II will definitely attract a lot of attention. Now, let's talk about the specifics of the contract. ”
Watching Natalia open her briefcase and take out the documents in a serious manner, Guzmán's promoter suddenly felt that the person in front of him was extremely hateful, and he was on fire again. I was tricked by this woman! She was determined that she would find a way to make this match happen, and even if it didn't work out, she could contact others. Guzmán sat down hatefully and began to talk to Natalia clause by clause.
The two sides kept talking about the night, and in order to vent his hatred, Guzmán's promoters had to go over and over each clause for a long time, while Natalia had been slowly dealing with it with a calm face and a calm mind.
When the two sides finally agreed on the terms of the contract, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Guzmán's promoters also had to admire Natalia's patience. After putting away the agreed contract documents, Guzmán said, "Ms. Natalia, I hope that Lin can sign it as soon as possible when I go back." ”
Natalia said, "I'll tell Lin." So, congratulations on the agreement we reached this time, it's going to be a great game. ”
With that, Natalia left the café. Lin Ye has now moved out of the Victory Boxing Gym to his villa on Long Island. Natalia drove to Lin Ye's residence.
Rang the doorbell, and after dozens of seconds, Lin Ye came down from upstairs and called the door.
Lin Ye was wearing a pajama and had just fallen asleep. Since becoming a boxer, Lin Ye's living habits have changed a lot, one of which is to go to bed early and get up early.
Rubbing his eyes, Lin Ye saw that it was Natalia and said, "Natalia, come in first." ”
"It's so late, is there anything you have to do with me?" Lin Ye went to the water dispenser, poured a glass of water and put it in front of Natalia.
"You and Guzmán have reached an agreement to fight. This time, Guzmán's promoter gave very generous terms, $3 million appearance fee, and 7% of the PPV tickets. With that, Natalia pulled out the contract agreement and handed it over.
"3 million? So high. Lin Yedao, in the boxing world, those who can get this number are already top boxing champions, and the top boxing champions in the boxing world can be counted on one hand. For example, Hopkins, known as the greatest middleweight champion of all time, has successfully defended his title for 21 consecutive years, dominating the middleweight division for an era. His appearance fee is only two or three million dollars. Lin Ye didn't expect Guzmán's promoter to be willing to pay such a bloody capital.
Natalia smiled in her heart, this is all due to me.
"Lin, you look at the contract, and if you feel that there are no other problems, sign it. After signing the contract, we can prepare for a press conference tomorrow. ”
After Lin Ye finished reading the contract, he had to sign it. But there was no pen at home, Natalia took out a signature pen from her blouse and handed it to Lin Ye, when she took it, Lin Ye smelled the scent of lavender on the pen and the warm body temperature on the pen.
"If Natalia didn't have those freckles on her face, she would look good." This thought suddenly rose in Lin Ye's heart, and he shook his head again, how could I have such a thought?
Just as Lin Ye was about to put down his pen and sign, a bell rang. Natalia answered the phone, "Hello, Mr. Arum, is there anything wrong with calling me?" ”
"You say, you want Barrera to fight Lin Ye?" When Natalia heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, she looked up at Lin Ye, and motioned for him to stop his pen and not to sign.
