Chapter 493: $2.25 million per second

"Congratulations to the Iron Fist Champion for knocking out Iron Man Michael Tyson in 121 seconds to win this world-renowned World Heavyweight Championship."

On the ESPN commentary seat, Leo Pollinis said excitedly.

Lol Gabriel continued: "Now that the Iron Fist King has both the WBC and WBA heavyweight belts, congratulations to the Iron Fist Champion, you have become a double champion. ”

Leo Pollinis excitedly said: "This boxing match is so surprising, Iron Michael only fended off the Iron Fist King for 121 seconds, he didn't hit the Iron Fist Champion once, he suffered four heavy blows from the Iron Fist King. ”

"Yes, the first blow was on the left temple, the second was on the right temple, the third time was on the left rib, and his left rib was likely to be fractured, and the fourth time was the knockout on the left temple." Lore Gabriel said.

Leo Pollinis continued: "Iron Michael showed his ability to resist the first three blows, but when he got another blow to his left temple, he couldn't take it, which is a shame.

Luckily, they made an appointment for a rematch, and four months later, we're looking forward to their rematch, hoping to have a few more rounds at that time, otherwise it will hurt PPV sales.

By the way, report on tonight's PPV sales, the final sales are 5.16 million copies, congratulations to the Iron Fist King, and congratulations to Iron Michael. ”

"Congratulations indeed, this sale is a miracle."

Speaking of this, Lol Gabriel couldn't help but smile and said: "Thanks to the NBA, in the future, the Iron Fist King can concentrate on boxing, and we can see more boxing matches of the Iron Fist every year, not just in the NBA offseason." ”

This sentence made many people in front of the TV feel the pain of their hearts.

Also in New York, Stern couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

It was originally the cash cow of the alliance, but he was driven away by his own people, whether he could come back or not, the alliance suffered a huge loss, years of hard work fell short, and he had to suffer from the ridicule of others, and now his mood is terrible, worse than Tyson.

Across the United States, those NBA bosses and executives are in the same mood.

Lore Gabriel said: "Leo, you're right, tonight's $105 PPV sales price, but only let people watch for two minutes, it's all because Michael Tyson didn't hold it, I hope he can carry a few more rounds in the rematch." ”

Riopolinis laughed, then sorted out his expression and said seriously: "Lohr, where do you think Iron Michael lost?" ”

"After being hit four times in the first round and knocked out for the second time, Iron Michael must have a big weakness in front of the Iron Fist King," Lore Gabriel said. ”

Riopolinis nodded and said: "I think it's the reaction speed, Iron Michael is no longer at the peak, his reaction speed is not as good as the Iron Fist King who has entered the peak of physical fitness." ”

Nodding, Lol Gabriel said, "Reaction speed is one reason, and another reason is also very important, and that is the dodge of the Iron Fist King.

We all agree that Tekken's dodge is a god-level skill, and Iron Michael's dodge is the same, right? ”

"Yes." Riopolinis nodded.

Lore Gabriel continued, "Tonight's fight proved that Tekken's dodge is indeed a god-level skill, and he dodged two heavy punches that Iron Michael almost certainly hit, the first in the chin and the second in the right rib.

If he hadn't dodged, it would have been the opposite tonight, and he wouldn't have missed a knockout after Iron Michael's heavy blow to the Iron Fist King. ”

Riopolinis took over and said, "And this boxing match also proves that Iron Michael's dodge is no longer a god-level skill, and he ate four heavy blows from the Iron Fist King in one round. Because his reaction speed was slow, he couldn't dodge the Iron Fist King's unusually precise punches. ”

Lore Gabriel said with great regret: "Iron Michael is indeed no longer at his peak. It's just a pity for me now that Iron Fist and Iron Michael, who have very similar boxing styles, do not belong to the same era, otherwise they would have been at their peak together, and they would definitely bring us the greatest boxing matches. ”

At this time, the two presidents of the WBC and WBA took the heavyweight belts of their respective organizations to the ring and awarded the belts to Zhou Quan.

The boxing team escorted Zeng Li, and Zhou Quan hugged his wife before accepting the belt.

"Click, click, click......"

When the two star-studded gold belts were slung across their shoulders, countless flashing lights rang out.

After another celebration, Zhou Quan was interviewed by the media in the ring.

"Iron Fist King, knock out Iron Man in the first round, have you thought about this situation in advance?" A reporter asked.

"The strategy that my coach set for me was to hold each other in the first three and consume the physical strength of the iron man. He's a lot older than me, and he's definitely not as fit as me, so I didn't knock him out in the first round. Zhou Quan shook his head and said.

"Iron Fist King, is your rematch decided?"

"The exact date has not been set, but the rematch must be completed in four to six months, which is the mandatory title defense period." Zhou Quan said.

"Iron Fist King, can you tell me how much money you made from this boxing match?"

"Haha......"

Zhou Quan couldn't help laughing twice when he heard this question, then shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, except for the appearance fee and bonus, the others are not sure, I don't know how much I can earn." ”

A reporter said loudly: "Iron Fist King, let me help you do the math, the appearance fee is $50 million, and the bonus is $30 million, which is a total of $80 million."

With 5.16 million PPV sales, you should be able to allocate $162 million, and these three revenues alone can reach $240 million. Add to that box office and advertising dividends, and this fight can set you in at least $2.5 to $260 million.

The fight lasted for a total of 121 seconds, which means that every second, you can earn at least $2 million, and you are a real money-absorbing machine. ”

"Oh!"

There was an exclamation at the scene, and countless envious and jealous eyes looked at Zhou Quan.

After nearly an hour of interviewing, Zhou Quan left Madison Square Garden and headed to the reserved celebratory hotel for an all-night celebration.

Surrounded by the front and back, Zhou Quan took Zeng Li's hand and entered the party hall, and saw six nine-story champagne towers, and some waiters were carefully pouring wine.

"Chelse!"

"Chippers!"

Ten minutes later, the party began as hundreds of people toasted together.

Zhou Quan drank the champagne, took another glass of red wine, and after chatting with some friends for a while, he found a place to sit down with Zeng Li.

After a while, Rog Philip came over quickly and gave Zhou Quan a calculation of how much money he had made tonight.

"$80 million in bonuses plus appearance fees. PPV revenue is $540 million, a record high, and you account for $162 million. Ticket office also broke records, totaling $105 million, plus $78.5 million in advertising sponsorships, for a total of $183.5 million, and you accounted for two percent, $36.7 million.

Your total income tonight is $278 million, or $2.25 million per second. But you still have to get rid of the 15% cut given to the promoter, leaving $236.3 million. ”

"So much?"

Zeng Li's mouth opened wide, her exquisite coffee was only valued at 200 million US dollars, and her husband made a fine coffee company in two minutes?

"What is Tyson's injury? Is the rematch talked? ”

Zhou Quan just saw Tang Jin pulling Philip to talk for a while, so he asked.

Philip said: "Tyson has two broken ribs in his right rib except for a head injury, but there shouldn't be any major problems.

He also made the most money in a boxing fight of his career tonight, $160 million, and the PPV sales were staggering.

However, Don Kim was not satisfied, thinking that the prize money of 30 million US dollars was too much, and the rematch should be adjusted to 10 million. This guy, if it is Tyson who wins, I am afraid that he will think that the prize of 30 million is less. ”

Zhou Quan thought for a while and said: "His help in the matter of New York last time was not small, and the prize money for the rematch can be lowered, which is no problem." ”

Philip nodded: "I understand, I will not compromise on other aspects." Now that you win, your popularity and prestige will definitely go further, Tyson's popularity and prestige will definitely drop a lot, and you should take more PPV and box office shares, this is the reality, the reality is cruel, and if you lose, your value will fall sharply. ”

At this time, Arum and Don Jin came over, and after Zhou Quan stood up and asked the two to sit down, several people chatted.

Zhou Quan asked first, "Mr. Tang Jin, is the iron man okay?" ”

Tang Jin said helplessly: "Fortunately, he still has the strength to beat me." ”

Zhou Quan was stunned, and Arum said with a smile: "When he just sent Tyson to the hospital, Tyson grabbed Don King and wanted to beat him. ”

"Why?" Zhou Quan asked curiously.

Tang Jin said: "It's nothing, it's just that you lost the boxing match and asked me to vent." ”

Arum smiled, your old boy was greedy for one or two hundred million dollars in cash, shouldn't he vent to you when he is unhappy?

"Mr. Donkin......"

At this time, Zhou Quan said: "I hope to complete the rematch as soon as possible, and it is best in four months." ”

"It's not okay, Michael is injured, Tekken, we signed a contract, you can't break the contract." Don Kim said urgently.

"The rematch must be completed within six months at the latest, which is also a mandatory title defense period, Mr. Donkin, and it won't be long in delay." Philip said.

"That's better than doing it in four months." Donkin glared at Philip and said.

"Don Jin, how much do you plan to use for promotion funds in the rematch?" Arum asked with a smile.

Speaking of this, Don Kim hesitated.

This time he invested $70 million, and he should eventually be able to earn about $20 million, which is more than ten times more profitable than promoting some less-popular boxing championships.

But tonight Tyson can be said to have lost a little too badly, and he is not sure about the appeal of the rematch, and he does not dare to give it as full attention as the first fight.

If Tyson loses on points tonight, or loses after a few rounds, he's confident that he'll be knocked out in the first round, making him lose faith in the rematch.

"The three of you talk, Zeng Li, I and I went over to say hello to our friends."

Zhou Quan pulled Zeng Li to stand up at this time, he didn't plan to participate in these negotiations, otherwise what would he want the agent to do?

This hotel has a legal casino, and he simply chartered a gambling hall and pulled Stallone, Chen Long and a group of them to play stud.

The assassin is at the same table as Rodman, O'Neal, Abdul-Jabbar and others, and the gamble is smaller, while Zhou Quan's table is larger, except for him, they are all Hollywood first-line superstars, not bad money owners.

At this time, Philip came over and said, "Zhou, Donkin and Mr. Arum go first. ”

He saw a large pile of chips in front of Zhou Quan, and couldn't help but ask again, "How much did you win?" ”

"About two million." Zeng Li, who was accompanying him, said.

"Almost."

Zhou Quan smiled and asked casually, "Have you discussed the results?" ”

Philip stood behind Zhou Quan, leaned down and looked at the cards on Zhou Quan's table, a pair of small two and a J on the card, he turned over the hole cards, it was actually an old J, and said:

"Tyson lost too badly tonight, it was one-sided, so Mr. Donkin didn't dare to bet so much, he was only willing to take 30 million out, so that the promotion funds for the rematch would be up to 100 million US dollars."

"Only 100 million?" Zhou Quan was stunned.

Philip said: "You have at least 60 million US dollars in appearance fees, Tyson loses, and his value will definitely fall, but Mr. Donkin asks for at least 30 million, which is 90 million, and a bonus pool must be set up, only 10 million, and there is no publicity fund at all, so the talks just collapsed, and I am going to talk again tomorrow." ”

Zhou Quan said with some surprise: "Tyson still needs 30 million appearance fees?" ”

Philip nodded and said, "Zhou, Mr. Tang Jin opened his mouth very loudly and did not let go. But Mr. Amrew's private meaning is that Mr. Donkin may not be very keen on a rematch. ”

Zhou Quan was stunned, and instantly understood Tang Jin's concerns, so he said: "You talk to him first, if you can't talk, you don't have to fight in the second battle." ”

They didn't say these few words, and everyone at the table heard them, Arnold interjected: "The Iron Man lost too badly tonight, if there is another heavy defeat in the rematch, Tyson's reputation will fall to the bottom and he can't turn over, Donkin doesn't want to fight a rematch, understandable, I think it's right." ”

Tom Cruise said with a smile: "If you don't fight a rematch, tonight's fiasco can still be fooled with carelessness, bad state or something, if you lose again, then it's useless, Donkin is indeed an old fox." ”

Stallone said: "The rematch should be fought with equal strength, there is hope for a turnaround, and there is no need to fight a one-sided fiasco." The current Tyson is no longer good, he has been in prison for several years, and his strength is not at its peak. ”

Roberts chuckled and said, "Iron Fist, it only took you 121 seconds to break Donkin's confidence in Iron Man." ”

"Rogge, if they really don't want to fight a rematch, forget it."

Zhou Quan smiled, and after saying a word to Philip, he said to everyone: "Come on, come on, let's continue to play." ”
