Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 380 - 330: Earn 160 Million US Dollars in Half a Year_2
Appearance fees of 30 million US dollars, plus a luxurious apartment on the 132nd floor of the Dubai Tower, and two valuable sports cars, with a total value of no less than 38 million US dollars.
In this match, Mikko fought tenaciously, using his arms to protect his head and constantly changing positions around him, greatly hindering his offensive.
Link had to be patient during the match, engaging in a guerrilla war with his opponent, first breaking through the opponent’s defense with refined combination punches and then knocking down the opponent with a series of heavy punches. At 65 seconds into the third round, he knocked out his opponent again and won.
When he knocked down Mikko, thousands of wealthy people from the Middle East stood up and cheered.
This match also brought Link’s professional record to 19 fights, 19 wins, and 19 KOs and earned him another 30 million US dollars in cash and a mansion worth ten million US dollars.
After the match, some people from Dubai came over to persuade him, urging him to switch his nationality to Dubai and told him that people from Dubai could have many wives.
Link was somewhat tempted, but he did not agree. His base was in America, and switching to another nationality did not make financial sense.
After these two matches, he had defeated all the top fighters in the Super Middleweight rank and had undoubtedly become the dominant champion of that rank.
Professional media such as "The Ring" and "KO" reported his second-round title defense victory, declaring him the strongest boxer in the history of the Super Middleweight rank, stronger than Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Joe Calzaghe, and other veteran champions.
Also, earning 163 million US dollars from five matches, he was considered the most profitable athlete in the sports world.
"Earning 160 million US dollars a year, this guy is too impressive."

In a New York heavy metal music bar, 50 Cent looked at the news on his phone, grinding his teeth in envy. While being a singer was profitable, it did not reach the level of 160 million a year. Earning money at this rate was faster than robbing a bank.
"Not a year, 160 million, it’s only June now. It’s 160 million US dollars in half a year."
Eminem reminded him while drinking beer.
"You don’t have to tell me, I know."
50 Cent rolled his eyes and looked at his friend Jermain Taylor, asking, "Jermain, how much is your prize money per match?"
The former WBA Americas boxing champion, Jermain Taylor, waved his hand, "Can’t compare, Link is a boxing superstar. Though he’s still not up to Tyson or Ali’s level, he’s not far off. Not to mention, he’s only 21 this year, his earning rate will only get faster."
"Jermain, you are also a boxer, and you seem even buffer than Link, why can’t you beat him?"
Chris Brown asked. Read exclusive content at novelbuddy
"Jermain, I also want to ask that. If you were more aggressive in the match, maybe you could defeat him. Why don’t you give it your all?"
Drake followed with the question.
Jermain bared his big white teeth, looking helplessly at everyone.
"Boxing isn’t a long-distance race where gritting your teeth can make you seconds faster. Boxing emphasizes overall strength, and sometimes all-out efforts are futile. And Link, that guy is too strong, strong in all aspects.... Let me put it this way, when I fight Link, I feel like a seven or eight-year-old kid, and he’s a strong adult. No matter how hard I fight, I can’t beat him. Besides, there are rules in boxing matches; how can you just blindly go all-out?"
"Is Link that impressive?" 50 Cent asked.
"Extremely. Although he competes in the Super Middleweight, he has the punch weight of a Heavyweight, the speed of a Featherweight, and exquisite boxing skills, plus his tactics. He is an all-around boxer, and in the Super Middleweight rank, I dare say no one can match him for the next ten years," Jermain Taylor said helplessly.
"What about outside of Super Middleweight? The news says he plans to move to Light Heavyweight next year."
50 Cent said as he scrolled through his phone.
Jermain thought for a moment, "There aren’t many who are better than him, but if he wants to take the Light Heavyweight championship, it won’t be easy. Belrut Shumenov, Chad Dawson, and Hopkins are also tough guys."
"I really hope this guy loses a match. From the music industry to the boxing world, he’s almost never lost. And those he’s beaten are almost all our people, Black people. He’s too arrogant. I really hope someone can stand up and take him down."
Chris Brown said.
Everyone listened to him and thought about it, and it really was like that.
In the boxing world, the people he defeated, like Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., Jermain Taylor, Andre Ward, Andre Rel, Jean Pascal, and more, were almost all Black boxers. His Golden Belt was also mostly snatched from Black champions.
In the music industry, the East Coast rappers he had beaten were also all Black.
This guy rose to fame by stepping on the reputation of Black celebrities.
Too despicable.
"Hey Chris, are you trying to incite a war? Don’t forget, Mikkel Kessler, Carl Froch, Lucian Bute, and others aren’t Black. Besides, Black boxers have dominated the boxing world for seventy to eighty years, giving white boxers no chance to shine. Now that Link is on the rise, you guys can’t accept it. Can’t handle losing?"
Eminem retorted.
"I’m not provoking a fight, but I just can’t stand him."
Chris Brown said.
50 Cent and others nodded in agreement.
"This is jealousy, I’m actually jealous of the guy too. He’s so handsome, excellent at boxing, sings well, and is very popular with the girls... This guy really makes people jealous."
Eminem remarked.
Ding-a-ling!
As they were talking, Eminem’s phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Link calling.
Link called to congratulate him because his new album "Recovery" sold 718,000 copies in its first week, becoming Billboard’s best-selling album.
Eminem laughed heartily, thanked Link, and invited him to have a drink next time he was in New York.
While he was talking to Link on the phone, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, and a few others looked displeased. Eminem was contacting Link in their stronghold and chatting happily, just like an undercover agent would openly talk to the police without caring about their feelings.
"Link and I are friends, we’re not part of your fight."
Eminem said as he put down his phone.
As they were speaking, Puff Daddy, Jay-Z, and a few white guys walked into the bar. Eminem glanced at them, "Who are they? Why is Jay-Z hanging out with white guys?"
50 Cent peered and said, "Peter Peltz, David Zakman, Luther Detsky, and Josie Epstein."
"Epstein? What’s his connection with that Epstein?"
Eminem asked.
"They are uncle and nephew, but it’s said he’s an illegitimate child,"
50 Cent whispered.
"Why would Jess hang out with these kinds of people? Isn’t he worried about damaging his reputation?"
Eminem said disdainfully.
The big Epstein is a local billionaire in New York.
He started mingling in rich circles in the 1980s, accumulated a lot of connections, and had big names in both political and business arenas, known as the contemporary Gatsby.
Since the 1990s, many people have reported suspicions of Epstein’s involvement in crimes, but those were easily dismissed by his powerful connections.
In 2005, undercover police infiltrated Epstein’s circle and gathered a lot of criminal evidence related to him, including multiple cases of sexual assault and forcing women into illegal transactions, with many victims under the age of 18.
In 2008, the police arrested Epstein, who, relying on connections within the judicial system, easily settled the matter and was only sentenced to 18 months of detention. He was recently released from prison and continues to wield great influence in wealthy circles and even affecting America’s political climate.
Eminem strongly despised such people, even feeling instinctively that anyone with the Epstein surname was up to no good.
Seeing Jay-Z heading upstairs with a few people, he couldn’t help but frown.
"Puff Daddy knows those guys; he must have introduced them, but I also think it’s not good for Jess to mingle with them."
50 Cent commented with a sneer.
"We should advise Jess not to stray further down the wrong path."
Eminem stood up and said.
"Are you serious? Maybe they’re just chatting, not planning anything bad."
50 Cent, pulling at his hoodie, called out as he saw Eminem standing up.
"Then how about we go and listen in?"
Eminem looked at 50 Cent, Chris Brown, and Drake, and asked.
After thinking for a moment, they nodded.
