Chapter 403: Tear off the veil!
The interview is still going on at the scene.

At this time, a Japanese reporter asked the audience's curiosity in broken English:
"Many boxers who fought against you before said that in addition to practicing Eastern martial arts, you also know mysterious horizontal training kung fu. Is this true?"

After these words were spoken, Niqi, Li Yixin and others looked over curiously.

Even many of the audience members who were cursing and wanting to leave stopped.

This topic is a bit mysterious, but it is very attractive.

After all, it was really exaggerated that Du Sheng just took on Iceman's combination punch of headshot and kidney explosion.

If an ordinary person is hit in the kidney with such a heavy punch, it is common for him to become paralyzed and call an ambulance.

However, Du Sheng acted as if nothing had happened!
That’s outrageous!

Du Sheng glanced at the scene and found that boxers including UFC President Dana White and champion "Spider" who came to watch the game all looked sideways.

In addition, Don King, who came nearby, kept giving him looks, signaling him to answer carefully.

Du Sheng naturally knew what these people were concerned about, and said calmly:
“This is indeed horizontal training kung fu, but it is different from the conventional golden bell and iron cloth shirt.

As for how to practice, what are the weaknesses and hidden dangers?

Sorry, this is a unique skill and will not be passed on to others.

If you really want to know, you can verify it on the upcoming "Kung Fu" program in our country..."

This time he admitted it directly, but he was still a little evasive.

The less they said, the more itchy people felt.

Is there really such magical Kung Fu in the East?

Can the white people learn it?

What is the show "Kung Fu"?

Damn, don’t say half and hide half!

The Yangshi reporter cleverly changed the subject and asked:

"Mr. Du, Yao Ming is about to enter the playoffs. Will you be there to support him?"

Everyone knows that NBA games are divided into preseason and playoffs, and only by making it to the playoffs are you eligible to compete for the championship and gold ring.

Du Sheng smiled slightly and said:
"If I have time, yes."

A reporter from Xiangjiang Daily asked:
"If an NBA team invites you to play a friendly match with Yao Ming, would you accept it?"

Du Sheng thought for a moment and said:
"My basketball skills are average, we'll see how things turn out."

As one of the top three sports in North America, NBA has many big stars going to the scene to support every popular game (to take advantage of the popularity).

If he had the opportunity to show off at an important event, or even team up with Yao Ming to create some publicity, he wouldn't mind.

A North American reporter changed the topic and asked:

"I heard that you are planning to invest in a new movie in Hollywood recently. How is the progress?"

This question brought everyone's attention back to reality from the game.

It also made everyone pay attention to Du Sheng's other identity - a star.

"We are in the process of preparing, but unfortunately one of our partners had an accident, so it will probably be delayed for a while..."

Although "Wanted" has not yet been released, it does not affect Du Sheng's ability to attract attention with his empty talk.

As for the guy who got into trouble, it was naturally the screenwriter and producer Michael Bradt.

I heard that not long ago, he was attacked by a stray cat on his way home. I don’t know if he was infected with rabies, but now he is dying.

It seems that this producer is destined to have little chance to participate in production again.

What a pity.

"Hilton's daughter and Samsung's little princess came to show their support. What is your relationship?"

"My good friends, they recently set up a handbag manufacturing company. You can pay attention to it..."

There is a saying that goes "return a favor", and Du Sheng doesn't mind pulling each other down in popularity.

When Ni Qi and Li Yi Xin saw the camera coming, the former waved excitedly and blew a kiss.

The latter smiled reservedly, but seemed somewhat excited.

"Some people say that the song you collaborated with Hilton's daughter topped the Billboard charts because of hype. What do you think about this?"

A black reporter tried to deflect the attack.

"The romance between the Disney princess and the Universal Music genius singer has been a hot topic these days, so why can't the song they collaborated on even make it into the top five?"

Du Sheng said indifferently:
"If you can stay on the charts for two weeks just by hyping it up, can I assume you're showing disrespect to Billboard?"

The black reporter was speechless.

A reporter from a Sony newspaper was very perceptive and asked:

"Mr. Du, I heard that you are going to release another single, and as always, it's written for girls. Is this true?"

Du Sheng glanced at her and said:
"Yes, it's a sequel to the previous one. If you're interested, you can keep an eye out for it next week..."

This kind of opportunity to be interviewed by over a hundred overseas media outlets is rare, and he also mentioned the guest appearance in Taylor's music video.

As long as it can increase exposure a little, it's worth it.

After waiting for the interview to end, Du Sheng was still busy.

He also has to cooperate with Dana White on magazine interviews, cover shoots, and subsequent publicity.

But these can be arranged tomorrow.

In addition, we also need to talk about the profit sharing tonight.

According to Don King's preliminary statistics just now, the distribution of tonight's box office, advertising sponsorship, PPV, etc. has been released one after another.

There is absolutely no problem with making a profit.

After deducting the 450% allocated to the UFC agreement, the Iceman and other fighters' income and all expenses, there is still a net income of about million US dollars. This figure is more than ten times more generous than the appearance fee of several hundred thousand!
At this moment, not only Dana White was jealous, but even the UFC directors felt a little regretful.

However, this was brought in by others through hype, and it was all operated by Tangya Company, so they have no way to regret it.

After all, UFC only provides the platform and matches fighters, and other MMA organizations can do the same.

If they really fall out, Du Sheng can just walk away and change jobs.

This will only strengthen competitors and will be totally counterproductive.

Therefore, when Du Sheng came to discuss profit sharing, they did not dare to make a fuss at all, but instead greeted him with a smile.

Because it is foreseeable that the man in front of us will definitely be one of the core boxers of UFC in the future.

Whether their event can expand in scale and become profitable is closely related to this.

After the pleasantries, Dana White looked at Du Sheng with a smile on his face:

"The profit of this event has been calculated. After deducting necessary expenses such as venue rental, boxer profit sharing, box office, and on-demand broadcasts, the profit is 700 million US dollars.

According to the previous agreement, your net gain is 460 million..."

Tonight's entrance revenue alone is 960 million US dollars. Taking into account PPV on demand, advertising brought in by Du Sheng, the established UFC contract, TV broadcasts, etc., the total revenue exceeds 1300 million US dollars.

This $700 million profit is obviously the pure profit of UFC and Tang Ya.

Despite this, there are still 460 million US dollars that belong to Du Sheng alone!
This is nearly 50 times higher than the fixed appearance fee of US$10.

Adding the money won from betting, after deducting taxes and fees, the total amount was approximately $1300 million!
One-time profit exceeds 1700 million US dollars!
Where to grab this?
Even though Britney Spears is known as the "new queen" of North America, the net income from her concert at the Lighthouse last year was just this amount.

What's more, this was in 2004, and taking Dongfang back would be an astronomical sum of over million yuan.

Tang Jin quickly calculated in his mind and couldn't help but sighed:
"That's amazing. With your current worth, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can catch up with Pacquiao!"

What he said was not an exaggeration.

Currently, the most famous Asian in the boxing world is Pacquiao, the boxing champion from Luzon.

Pacquiao has so far won the two top titles of WBC lightest-weight world champion and super-lightweight boxing champion.

But despite this, his current appearance fee is only in the millions of dollars range.

Even with additional PPV revenue, sponsorship fees and other income, the revenue for a single match would not exceed $500 million.

What's more, the income from boxing itself is higher than that from UFC, so Du Sheng is obviously at a disadvantage by making this comparison.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Because in the UFC, there are only a handful of boxers who can get $500 million for a match.

Even the defending middleweight champion 'Spider' is probably only at this level.

"Haha, Lao Jin, you're not bad either."

Before placing the bet today, Du Sheng heard from his assistant Anika that Don King asked her to help buy a single bet of $100 million.

Anika also bought $10, just like Wang Yaoyang and others, and bought a one-round KO.

It can be seen that there are some things that everyone knows tacitly.

However, although Du Sheng's money seems to be a lot, it will flow like water if he spends it.

If we take into account the two movies "SPL" and "Wanted" that are scheduled to be produced in the second half of the year, this money can only be considered as extra.

"Boss Bai, what do you say about the next championship game?"

After the small talk, Don King asked the key question.

Dana White saw Du Sheng looking over and knew what he meant. He thought for a moment and said:

"I'll try my best to coordinate. After all, you know that the other party has the right to refuse."

There is only one champion and one gold belt, and anyone ranked 2nd to 10th in the world weight class has the right to challenge.

If the champion accepts everything, wouldn't he be confused?

In addition, even if you can make a lot of money playing this way, your body cannot bear it.

According to the UFC organization's original intention, they certainly hope that the champion will accept every match, so that they can have both popularity and attention.

But under normal circumstances, the champion only needs to accept one challenge within a year to defend his title.

This will ensure that the maximum value such as endorsements, fame, etc. is obtained within the cycle.

After all, once you lose your gold belt like Iceman did, your popularity will drop significantly.

Of course, there are some who are at their peak or are short of money, such as Chris Weidman who accepted four challenges in one year and defended his title four times.

Tang Jin and Du Sheng looked at each other, both speechless.

"Boss Bai, you'd better 'convince' him. After all, you know Du's temper. It won't be good if he makes it to the hot search."

Tang Jin knew that Du Sheng would definitely not give up.

There was no way he could interrupt the enthusiasm for pursuing victory, so he had to act as an ugly reminder.

Du Sheng shrugged and agreed with this statement.

He wanted others to be convinced and wanted those abusive Westerners to shut up. The best way was to use his iron fist to forcefully win an honor.

Isn't the North American boxing world arrogant and looking down on the yellow race? Then he will just tear off the veil to hide its shame!

Make them into incompetent, angry clowns.

As for doing so, will it have any impact on oneself?

A little, but not much.

There will be no leakage of the lottery proceeds. At most, the ability will be transferred to the mysterious oriental martial arts.

After all, in the eyes of foreign people, Eastern Kung Fu is known for its mystery.
