Chapter 308 Huge Disparity
In fact, Ma Yaowei, Wang Yaoyang and others were all tempted.
5000 million RMB!
Even though the contract comes with conditions, this amount of wealth in China is enough to make someone a wealthy person overnight.
They all looked at Du Sheng at the same time.
The reason why Tang Jin was willing to make such a big concession was that he was optimistic about Du Sheng's development potential.
More importantly, Du Sheng is extremely good at hype!
That kind of pre-match gimmick is very consistent with the money-hungry style of North American boxing.
As we all know, there, a world boxing champion with outstanding strength may not be famous, but a famous boxing champion must be a master of hype!
The reason why people like Tyson, Holyfield, Mayweather, etc. have such high commercial value is entirely inseparable from their own gimmicks and shows.
Although Tang Jin took a great risk by offering 5000 million RMB, the benefits he gained were also extremely high.
As long as he arranges for Du Sheng to fight in a few top-level battles, and then uses the gimmick of the yellow race crushing the North American boxing world, this money can be recovered in minutes.
Don King is now eager to put Du Sheng on the throne and recreate the glory of putting Tyson on the altar.
He believed that as long as this young man nodded, the future would be full of infinite possibilities.
However, Tang Jin still underestimated Du Sheng's determination.
Du Sheng just smiled faintly and said without comment:
“I heard that boxing matches in North America have just resumed recently. If we want to officially start the competition, we will have to prepare for one or two months.
Mr. Tang Jin must be under a lot of pressure to offer such a condition, right? "
Tang Jin did feel a lot of pressure, and he understood what Du Sheng meant. After a moment's silence, he said:
"Why don't you just tell me your final conditions so that I can take them into consideration."
This almost means that both parties have come clean.
He needs someone like Du Sheng who has a bright future to break the impasse.
Asians like Du Sheng also need an agent who is extremely familiar with the North American boxing scene.
In some ways, they are a formidable combination.
Unfortunately, we were never able to reach an agreement on the contract.
Everyone present felt their hearts tighten and held their breath, preparing to listen to what was to come.
Ma Yaowei, Zhang Haolong and others knew very well that sooner or later Du Sheng would go abroad and become famous all over the world, becoming the second 'Li Xiaolong' who would promote "Kung Fu"!
Don King, the "Godfather of Boxing", came to Du Sheng again and again, and it was obvious that he was very optimistic about Du Sheng.
The opportunity before us is indeed quite rare.
"In fact, I have already given my conditions."
Du Sheng smiled slightly and said:
"The signing fee can be reduced, and it can even be based on my winning the K1 fighting championship.
If you think 10% commission is not reasonable, how about 12%? "
5000 million RMB may seem like a lot, but for the No. sports event in North America, it is not much at all.
For example, Mayweather's cross-border battle, his appearance fee alone was as high as 3000 million US dollars.
Converted, this is more than 200 million RMB!
Du Sheng is very confident about his future boxing career.
Even if his appearance fee does not reach Mayweather's level for the time being, it will not remain stagnant.
Based on the average appearance fee of several million dollars per game, Don King could easily recover the signing bonus as long as he played a few more games.
Not to mention, in addition to appearance fees, there are also PPV, sponsorship, and various other incentives that can be shared.
Tang Jin's assistant hesitated to speak, but couldn't help but said:
"12%? I don't think we can even get back the money we spent on promotion!"
Tyson, who was at the peak of his powers, almost had a falling out with Don King, but he could only reduce his commission to 12%, and that came with a series of harsh conditions.
Doesn’t this person know what this amount means?
Or do you think you can be compared to Tyson?
Moreover, without the vigorous packaging and promotion of their boxing promotion companies to increase the boxers' popularity, these boxers would be at best unknown rough diamonds.
Not to mention, their Tangya company is one of the top four boxing promotion giants in North America and has extraordinary capabilities to promote top-level events.
All of this was built with real gold and silver.
Seeing Tang Jin frowning, Du Sheng waved his hand gently and said with a smile:
"I suggested last time that we could set a deadline here."
Tang Jin suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said:
"If you lose or tie once, the commission will increase by 1%, right?"
Du Sheng noticed the reactions of the crowd and said slowly:
"That's right. In order to show our sincerity, we can relax the deadline a little bit..."
Just as Don King thought, Dongfang has no roots in the North American boxing world and can only rely on their boxing promotion companies for the time being.
After this period of time, he had enough time to develop and even no longer need to rely on outsiders to grow into a local giant.
Tang Jin said he would think about it carefully and left with some reluctance.
However, he did not leave Neon, but waited for the final to be announced tomorrow night.
Judging from Du Sheng’s expression, if the commission is too high, he would rather not go to North America to play games.
But he just couldn't do anything to the other party.
After all, Du Sheng’s main job is an artist, and boxing is a side job!
If the other party really gives up the game, he may lose some income, but he will definitely not suffer the biggest loss.
On the contrary, they are the ones who suffer the greatest loss because they can see the gold mountain right in front of them but cannot dig it up.
"This ghost guy seems to be moved!"
Zhang Haolong looked at the background of Tang Jin and the others leaving, and suddenly said something.
"Brother Sheng has a chance to win the championship, how can I not be tempted?"
Wang Yaoyang laughed and said:
"Even if the probability is only 4%, with Brother Sheng's current ability, it is enough for him to go all out."
"Let's go, it's time to set off."
Du Sheng smiled, put down his teacup and stood up. He was so busy that he had no time to pay attention to these things.
When Ma Yaowei and his friends remembered that they still had to place bets, they immediately rushed out.
.........
For fighting fans, the annual K1 finals is like a grand festival.
In order to give the audience a new viewing experience every time, the stage design and background layout of the K1 finals will have new changes every year.
This year, ticket sales are extremely hot, and the event will only be even more grand.
A week ago, the organizers had already spent a huge amount of money to build a fighting stage similar to a concert venue in the center of the dome.
Advanced lighting equipment is installed on all sides to make the immersion even stronger.
In addition, although the event was scheduled for 8 p.m., in order to prevent the audience from going home disappointed, the evening period from 7 to 8 p.m. was cleverly arranged as an entertainment show.
The organizers specially invited a number of superstars from the music industry to attend the event to bring an audio-visual feast to the audience.
On the evening of October 10, the finals officially kicked off.
When a lifelike oriental five-clawed golden dragon balloon slowly rose from a corner of the stadium, the atmosphere on the scene instantly reached its peak.
This is a unique opening design for the finals.
And this domineering golden dragon was carefully selected by Du Sheng.
The golden dragon symbolizes the ancient and mysterious East.
At the same time, on the other side of the ring, a huge flag with the words "United Nations Army" was slowly rising.
This scene caused an uproar among the Eastern audience, with boos rising everywhere.
If the object rising was the spoonbill, the national bird of Holand, it might be acceptable.
But the intention behind such an obviously sarcastic move seems a bit excessive.
As we all know, although Hu Lan did not directly participate in the invasion of Huaxi by the Eight-Nation Alliance, when the Xingchou Treaty was signed, Hu Lan also sent people to demand compensation.
What is even more ironic is that during the Peninsular War, when the Lighthouse Country gathered its allies to send troops to Goryeo to form the so-called "United Nations Army", Horan was also involved.
Regardless of whether the organizers did this intentionally, the hearts of the Eastern audience at the scene were indeed angered.
As the clock struck seven, the performance officially began.
A number of top celebrity guests invited by the organizer took turns to appear on stage and present wonderful performances.
In addition to local entertainment figures from Japan, the organizers also specially invited many Chinese celebrities.
Among them is Liu Dehua.
Not only did he attend the event in person, he also sang his classic song "The Chinese" with deep emotion, and the scene was as boiling as the sea.
At 7:50 p.m., the performance came to an end and the contestants stepped onto the stage.
The organizers spent a huge amount of money to build a carpet between the entrance and the stage, imitating the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
As the two contestants walked along this Avenue of Stars toward the ring, salutes rang out and colorful flags burst out.
Pushing the cheers and screams at the scene to a new climax.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Du Sheng calmly walked to the center of the ring.
Cameras all around captured every moment faithfully, transmitting this grand event to every corner of the world in real time.
"Did you see that? Du Sheng is in great shape tonight. He is absolutely stable!"
Yangshi Channel 5 will broadcast the entire event live tonight, and Zhang Bin will give the commentary with passion.
Since the semi-finals, he has been completely impressed by Du Sheng's strength and is like a die-hard fan.
Even the 'four-time champion' Just was knocked out by Du Sheng in one round. Who can stop him from winning the championship?
Obviously, many Chinese people at the scene also hold the same view.
The Giant God Soldier is not concerned about the outside world's speculation.
The moment he stepped onto the scene, he was like a giant beast arriving from ancient times, looking down on the entire place.
This is the nature of a top boxer; his usual elegance and demeanor is just a facade.
Only in the arena can one fully release the wildness deep in one's heart!
The 110-pound weight difference may not seem shocking at first glance.
However, when the Giant God Soldier and Du Sheng stood face to face on the ring, everyone was shocked by the huge disparity in their size.
It seems that the Giant God Soldier is several times more muscular than Du Sheng!
It's like an elephant and a tiger standing side by side, which has a huge visual impact.
However, when facing Du Sheng, even though he was full of confidence, the Giant God Soldier's mind was unusually calm.
Those who can make it to the top fighting finals are all veterans who have experienced many battles.
His low-key attitude at the pre-match press conference was not fake; he had indeed done in-depth research on Du Sheng.
I know that this opponent is very powerful.
As professional fighters, we all know that the gap in strength cannot be easily bridged by skills.
He tried to imitate Du Sheng's fighting style during the duel with Just, but found that he could not copy it at all.
No one can match Du Sheng's indestructible hard Qigong or his cheetah-like agile footwork.
In his opinion, this is a unique oriental Kung Fu.
And it will definitely take a lot of time to invest in professional training to achieve success.
However, when he learned more about it, he found that this fighting style, which originated in the East thousands of years ago, was already outdated and difficult to integrate with modern ring fighting.
He did not give up and followed Just's advice to find an oriental martial arts master to learn from.
But no matter how sophisticated the opponent's oriental kung fu was, he could not even block a punch in front of his absolute strength.
