Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 577 - 438: Return to Hong Kong Island

As for the rumors on the internet, Link didn't care.

He was now a billionaire, a world-class celebrity, the boss of Lionsgate Films and Link Music. At his level, ordinary gossip had minimal impact on him.

Additionally, continuing to bear the "Playboy" label also had its benefits, such as receiving more exposure, being admired and envied by more fans, and it made his public image more dynamic and vivid.

At the same time, he did this as a lesson from MJ, not to be an idol without flaws.

By giving the media and the public some targets to attack, they wouldn't go out of their way to generate other scandals to boost traffic and attention.

So his claims to Adele and Lady Gaga that he was a good man were true.

Others played the jerk due to a lack of maturity, but his primary purpose was self-protection.

As a top figure in the entertainment industry, every day dozens of cameras were aimed at him, monitoring his every move, waiting for him to slip up and become the target of media scrutiny.

As long as he was a bad guy, he didn't have to constantly think about maintaining a positive image, which was too tiring and not free enough.

Bang Bang Bang!

While the media continued to hype up his scandal with Jennifer, Link was comfortably training in boxing at Muscle Beach.

After more than two months of intensive training, his weight had recovered to over eighty kilos, approximately 82.5 kilograms.

His physique had become more robust, with every muscle seemingly measured scientifically, appearing proportionate and fierce.

De La Hoya often joked that with a body like his, there was no need to be a Boxer and compete. By hooking up with a few more rich women every year, he could have an annual income of over a billion.

Link knew he was just jealous, so he didn't pay any attention to him.

The WBA Light Heavyweight competition was about to start, and five days before July, he and his boxing training team boarded a flight to Hong Kong Island.

Coach Brooks, Madame Anna, and Bob Wallace accompanied him, along with three extras,

Hoyle, Morales and Dino Duva.

Morales was there to watch the fight and gain experience in big competitions, while Hoyle and Dino Duva were simply there for the excitement.

"Mr. Baker, thank you, I love you so much!"

"Not at all, Jack!"

In the cabin, Link handed a signed poster to a fan named Jack, who happily walked away with it.

"How many fans is that now?"

Dino asked Hoyle across from him, yawning.

"Forty-two or forty-three."

"There's only about a hundred and sixty people on board including the crew, and a quarter of them have come to get Link's autograph. Link is really getting more and more popular."

"As long as the captain doesn't come over, it's fine."

Hahaha! Everyone laughed.

"Don't you find it strange? Link is such a jerk, but why do so many people still like him? Especially with so many young girls here. Why would they like an idol jerky image and not pursue a healthier idol image?

Hoyle crossed his arms and leaned back in his seat, noticing two more female fans coming over to get Link's autograph. Meanwhile, he, the former World Champion, the Golden Boy of boxing, had been sitting there for half a day without a single person asking for an autograph.

He couldn't help but sigh; boxing was sometimes about looks too, and handsome fighters were indeed more popular with boxing fans.

"It's normal to like Link, okay? Link is not just the World Champion in boxing, he's also a pop superstar, a billionaire, a movie star. So many auras combined, no idol can compare. Just like Anne Hathaway, if she was also a pop music queen, tennis champion, with an amazing body, wouldn't you like her even more?"

Dino Duva held a movie magazine with Anne Hathaway in a white dress on the cover.

"I prefer Jessica Alba."

Hoyle shrugged his shoulders.

"I heard Link has something going on with Jessica Alba."

"Don't fucking spread rumors!"

Link, clearly displeased, interjected. Jessica Alba was a married woman, and a scandal with her would reflect poorly on both parties. It was best to nip such rumors in the bud as soon as they appeared.

"Yeah, Alba is a decent woman, she wouldn't fool around with a jerk like Link."

Hoyle made a snide comment under his breath.

Link shook his head indifferently, hastily signed another poster, and handed it to a fan.

"Link, don't you find it boring to keep signing autographs for fans?"

Dino asked, yawning.

"How could it be boring to sign for people who like you? Besides, many boxing fans on this flight are going to Hong Kong Island just to support me. Signing autographs for them is nothing."

Link shrugged his shoulders.

"Look! Hoyle, this is the basic quality of being an idol. You should learn from Link."

Dino pointed at Link and laughed.

"Hmph, when I wasn't retired, I treated fans better than Link does. He's the one who should be learning from me."

Hoyle said, with his arms crossed.

"Sure, there were reports on the news, saying how you often slept with your fans and preferred older ones. Is that how you got the title of ladies' man?"

"Fuck! Dino, shut the hell up!"

Hoyle was furious, his face turning red and his arm muscles bulging.

Pfft~ Hehehe!

Morales tried hard to cover his thick lips, but he still couldn't hold back and laughed out loud, the tall man chuckling like a child.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. But I'm not framing you. There's plenty of news like that on Google, just a simple search and you'll find it. You don't need to be so angry."
