Chapter 54: Negotiations with Soto

While Lin was learning to drive, Natalia continued to connect with Soto's promoters. www.biquge.info Since Soto had already signed a contract with a top promotion company, Natalia negotiated directly with Arum.

Arum is interested in the fight, and for Arum Lin Ye is the new rising star of the pan-lightweight division in boxing, and if Soto defeats him, he can not only claim four belts, unify the super featherweight division, but also bring huge influence.

It's just that Arum offered a condition, and Natalia didn't agree. The appearance fee is only 250,000 US dollars, PPV and ticket Soto have to share 6 percent, and Lin Ye only 4 percent. You must know that Lin Ye reached $300,000 in the battle with Linares, and now Lin Ye has defeated Linares, and his fame is even greater, and $250,000 Natalia is unacceptable. There is also PPV and ticket sharing, which is also unreasonable.

Natalia negotiates with Arum in turn to reach a new agreement. But Arum didn't let go, and in the midst of some bargaining between the two sides, Natalia's super manager system began to play a role, and slowly, with the blessing of Natalia's "clever tongue" and "mentally handicapped aura", Arum was convinced. Lin Ye's appearance fee was changed to $350,000, and the PPV and the ticket were split fifty-fifty.

After the negotiation was completed and the contract was signed, Arum suddenly regretted it, and it was a little strange how he was persuaded by Natalia so easily? But the contract was signed, and it was useless to regret it, so Arum turned his mind to settle down and began to concentrate on planning the game.

The venue of the match, Arum is ready to be arranged in Las Vegas, which is the casino and the peak of boxing, and countless well-known boxing matches are held in the casino. Arum is very optimistic about this game, and he is ready to go all out to promote it, and the press conference will also be held in Las Vegas. For a boxing promoter, the income is not only the income share of the boxer, but also the benefits obtained by organizing and promoting a match.

The news of Lin Ye's battle with Soto was first informed to the media by the top promotion company.

In this match, the winner will unify the super featherweight division, win the gold belt of the four major boxing organizations, and become the undisputed crown king of the super featherweight division. This will create only the second boxing champion in boxing history since Hopkins to unify four belts.

Sports Illustrated first published a report "Super Featherweight Fight, Lin vs. Soto": "We just got a piece of heavy news from a top boxing promotion company, WBA/WBO/IBF super featherweight champion Lin Yegang and WBC super featherweight champion Soto signed a match agreement, and the two sides will have a unified fight with four belts. It's going to be one of the most anticipated fights of the year. Lin Ye, the brightest pan-lightweight star of the year, would make another piece of history in boxing if he defeated Soto. The date of the match has not yet been agreed, but the venue has been set for Las Vegas. ”

The sports edition of the Daily News is not optimistic about Lin Ye, "Heberto Soto, as a leader in the super featherweight division in boxing, advocates offense, fierce fighting, and has a high boxing quotient and rich experience. For Lin Ye, his defense is very poor, his offense is average, and it is difficult to gain an advantage in the contest with Soto. Although Lin Ye won three belts, defeating Guzman, Barlow and others. But in essence, his victory is a certain amount of luck, in this unified battle, presumably Soto will go all out against Lin Ye, and Lin Ye will have a hard time winning it. ”

The New York Post sports section is also optimistic about Lin Ye, believing that Lin Ye's 10-game winning streak will come to an end, and it will be lost to Soto. And Lin Ye's only advantage, the speed he showed in the match against Rinares, will not play a role in Soto as much as he did against Rinares. Soto's footwork is much stronger than that of Rinares.

The Daily News is not optimistic about Lin Ye like the two Appeals, "Although the Chinese Lin Ye is already the owner of three gold belts, he has not really shown his strength in the arena and won a convincing match. The boxing world is a place that really relies on strength to speak, and from a comprehensive analysis, Soto's strength and experience are much stronger than Lin Ye. If Lin Ye wants to win, then he can only expect Soto to make mistakes, but that is very difficult. ”

"Boxing" magazine conducted a comprehensive analysis of the two sides, and then gave a speculation on the battle between the two sides: "From the comprehensive analysis of technology, tactics, data, etc., Soto has no shortcomings in strength, speed, offense, defense, will, and physical fitness, and his comprehensive strength is extremely strong." As for Lin Ye, his strength is average, his speed is average, his attack is only a jab, and there are almost no other offensive means. The defense also relied only on hard bearing, without any dodging. In this contrast, it is clear that Soto has a better chance of victory. ”

The only bullish on Lin Ye is the New York Daily News, "Soto lost to Guzmán in last year's competition, and Guzmán was defeated by Lin Ye in the middle of this year. For Lin Ye, this teenager from Huaguo is full of magic and incredible, Lin has extraordinary will and tenacity, and I believe that in the match with Soto, he can bring us new surprises. ”

Because the Linye vs. Soto match is going to be held in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas bookmaker has already offered odds for both sides. This time, Lin Ye's odds are 1.7 to 1, which is much less than the big odds before. Before the gambling company opened the odds for Lin Ye, their special data analysts began to analyze Lin Ye and Soto from all aspects. Although the result of the analysis was that Lin Ye did not have an advantage, considering Lin Ye's previous three magical games, the data analyst did not dare to open big odds. This time, the odds are much smaller, and you can only get $170 for a $100 win on Lin Ye.

After the match was decided, many of the details that followed, such as determining the date of the fight, finding sponsors, renovating the venue, hiring security guards and on-site staff at the time of the fight, were agreed upon by Natalia and the top boxing promotion company. Fortunately, the extraordinary boxing promotion company has been set up, and Natalia doesn't have to worry about all the work alone.

The promotion company was busy running the fights, and the boxers began to train intensively.

Top promotion company, inside the office of Arum.

"Mr. Arum, I've managed to bring Spearman over as Soto's sparring partner."

Arum had a satisfied look in his eyes and said, "Paton, you're doing a good job. I'm sure Soto will love this particular sparring partner. It's just that I have to tell Soto that you must not throw punches and hurt Spearman when you are sparring. ”

"Yes, Mr. Arum, I'll tell Soto."

After the confession, Arum's heart was full of confidence that he would win. Lin Ye, your tactics against Rinares will be completely useless in front of Soto.
