Chapter 50 Post-Game Income
And Showtime's PPV sales this time were also counted after the game, and the battle between Lin Ye and Linares was purchased by a total of 100,000 cable TV subscribers on September 7. The pen "Fun" www.biquge.info regular channel is $39, and the HD channel is $45. The total income is about 4 million US dollars, which is very amazing for a newcomer like Lin Ye who has just come out of boxing.
According to the regulations, Showtime took half of it, and the remaining half was $2 million. Due to the agreement signed between Lin Ye and Rinares before the game, the winner will take all the PPV shares, and the loser will not have any points. Lin Ye's PPV income this time was 2 million US dollars, plus the appearance fee of 300,000 yuan before the game and the ticket revenue sharing, Lin Ye got a total of 2.78 million US dollars in this battle.
Looking at the series of zeros on the check, Lin Ye felt like he was in a dream.
In just seven months after coming to the United States, he earned 2.78 million US dollars, which is converted into tens of millions of yuan. He became a multimillionaire in one fell swoop, pinching the check, Lin Ye's heart stirred, boxing is really the most profitable sport in the sports world, and he has not fought so many hard games in vain!
No, I want to be calm, I want to be calm. Lin Ye took a few deep breaths and said to himself secretly, what is this, it is less than three million dollars. In just a few years, Mayweather will set a new record for gold in boxing, fighting one game a year and earning 100 million per game. And that Filipino Pacquiao, the minimum for any game is $30 million.
I'm afraid there is no sport like boxing, where you can earn as much money as just once or twice a year. In the future sports income list, Mayweather firmly occupies the first position, and Messi, Ronaldo, and James behind him have worked hard to fight dozens of matches a year, which is far less than Mayweather playing a 12-round 36-minute match in the ring.
And Mayweather survived at most two games a year, and spent most of the rest of his time doing nothing, bored to show off his wealth on the Internet every day, causing countless old beauties to vomit and jealousy. Even the nickname was changed to "Money" Mayweather.
Lin Ye now really likes this sport.
Lin Ye then thought about how to spend the money. First of all, after you start this game, you have to take out a fixed share of the income from each game and distribute it to your team. This team includes its own brokers, promoters, coaches, assistant coaches, medical assistants, etc. This is also what boxing fighters do, and the team will naturally work together to help the fighters win the match with their share of the fighters. This is exactly the same as one glory and one loss. When a fighter wins, the more influence he gets, the more money he earns, and the more money the people on the team get.
And Natalia, Lin Ye is ready to give her $1.2 million to help run her own boxing company. Lin Ye's extraordinary boxing promotion company is still an empty shell, and it has to be set up quickly and on the right track. Lin Ye and Rinares's cold competition, from event planning to sports venues, tour promotion in various cities and press conferences, and some other bits and pieces, are all handled by the Golden Boy Promotion Company, and they have a professional team to do these things. However, the Golden Boy Promotion Company lost the game this time with such dedication to promotion, and the PPV of the game was not scored, which was obviously a loss. In the future, your own extraordinary boxing promotion company must have the ability to independently organize and promote and plan competitions and coordinate related matters with boxing organizations.
For the extraordinary boxing promotion company, Lin Ye plans to focus on promoting himself. It is also possible to sign some other potential novices to join, but now the boxing promotion world is monopolized by Hoya's Golden Boy Promotion Company, Arum's top promotion company. After that, Sheffield and Hoya turned against each other and abducted a large number of contracted boxers from the Golden Boy Promotion Company to Haimeng Promotion Company, and the three companies stood on three legs. Other boxing promotion companies and boxing promoters simply can't compete with these three, and it is difficult to sign up for powerful potential stars.
It is impossible for his own boxing promotion company to compete with these three companies, no matter in terms of strength or fame, fighters will be more inclined to sign with them. But Lin Ye suddenly thought of someone, maybe he had a chance to sign him.
That man was Roman Gonzalez. In 2015, Gonzalez will become the undisputed P4P No. 1 and the most comprehensive player in boxing, winning all 44 fights, and the most likely person to break Rocky Marciano's career record of 49 victories in the future. Unfortunately, Gonzalez is in the flyweight division and is only 159cm tall, making it difficult to upgrade. The flyweight division is the least present of the 17 divisions of boxing, and the attention is pitifully low. Therefore, although Gonzalez became the No. 1 in P4P and was alone in the small level, his influence and appearance fee were not high.
The gold content of boxing is directly proportional to the weight, and the greater the weight, the more powerful the punch, the better the game, and the more commercial value the player has. In the past, the brightest stars in boxing were heavyweights, such as Tyson, Ali, Lewis and others. Now the heavyweight is declining, because the talent is withering, and there are no star fighters who can do it. The disgusting style of heavyweight overlord Klitschko Jr. made fans want to vomit when they saw it, but even so, Klitschko's appearance fee per fight was around $20 million.
In comparison, in the small divisions of flyweight and mini lightweight, it is difficult for the fighters themselves to be strong there, coupled with their short stature, their punches are not lethal, and knockouts rarely occur, so fans are naturally not interested in this division.
But no matter what you say, Gonzalez is the first P4P in the future. And now that Gonzalez is not a little famous, it is easy to sign him. Lin Ye thought about it, and was ready to let Natalia do it.
