Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

Bang!

As Andrea advanced, the tempo of his attack slowed unintentionally. Link spotted an opening in front of Andrea, and a fierce Right Straight Punch passed through Andrea's fists, hitting him squarely in the face.

The force of the punch exceeded 1200 pounds, like a metal ball hitting a basketball.

Andrea's face caved in around his nose in an instant.

Link withdrew his fist.

Spurt!

Blood gushed from Andrea's nose, and he staggered back three steps involuntarily before falling backwards onto the boxing ring with a thud.

The referee stepped forward and knelt beside Andrea, starting the countdown.

"10,9,8,7,6..."

Andrea, holding on to the ropes beside him, shakily stood up, but before he could take a step, he leaned against the ropes again and fell back to the ground.

"8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1!"

Andrea Rael couldn't get up within ten seconds.

Link won and successfully defended his title.

"Link has won!"

"King Link!"

"Link, you're always the best."

Link's fans at the scene shouted excitedly, and a few fans in the second-floor audience hung up a banner that read, 'You Are The One,' clearly his music fans.

Link gave a slight smile and waved his fists toward the audience in all directions.

The live camera focused on his face and broadcast his confident and handsome smile to millions of homes through satellite signals.

"Ah, lost!"

Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, T.I., and Drake looked at Link's handsome face on TV with displeasure.

"Andrea was too weak. He didn't even last one round,"

said 50 Cent.

"It's that Link is too strong. Andrea had no chance of winning against him,"

T.I. said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Eh, you're also watching Link's match? And it's in high definition?"

Eminem walked in from outside and teased while looking at the big screen, "The news says Link will make a 10% PPV revenue share on this match. By paying to watch his fight, you're essentially giving him money. Turns out you're also fans of Link."

The faces of Lil Wayne and others darkened immediately. According to the HBO boxing live pay-per-view pricing, a normal signal cost $69.99 US dollars, and high definition cost $79.99 US dollars. They paid $79.99 US dollars to watch this match, from which Link would receive $7.999 US dollars.

Normally, with their multimillion-dollar fortunes, a few US dollars wouldn't matter, but having it pointed out by Eminem like that made it feel like they indeed were throwing money at Link.

This annoyed them even more.

"Does it feel like a bad deal? I have a suggestion: you could invite more people to watch the replay, so you don't feel like you're losing out,"

Eminem suggested jokingly, sitting on the pool table with a can of cold beer in his hand.

"Hey, that actually makes sense,"

said 50 Cent, touching his chin.

"Don't listen to his nonsense,"

Lil Wayne rolled his eyes and asked Eminem, "Did you come here for a reason?"

"Of course, last week you said you were going to release a single to knock down Link's 'I'm The One.' I advise you not to do that. Now that Link has successfully defended the Golden Belt, riding on the media hype, his single will sell even more. If you release a single now and it doesn't beat his, that would be embarrassing,"

Eminem pointed out.

Lil Wayne frowned and touched his dreadlocks, "So we just let Link's single stay at number one on the rap chart?"

If they ignored Link's rap single after its release and let it climb to number one on the chart, it wouldn't have mattered.

But with media promotion, everyone in the industry knew that the East Coast rap was joining forces against Link, and many wanted to see the results.

If they did nothing and let 'I'm The One' stay at number one on the singles chart, it would be as if they admitted defeat. Not only would it embarrass them, but it would also disappoint their fans.

So now they were in a difficult position.

"We've already lost, so admitting defeat isn't a big deal. Just before the match, Link had an interview with the media, and a reporter said you were deliberately suppressing him. Link didn't take the opportunity to retaliate. He said it wasn't suppression but normal competition, implying a willingness to reconcile."

"I suggest you take this opportunity to agree with that statement, tell the reporters you also like 'I'm The One,' that you're fans of Link, and maybe you could even gain his friendship,"

Eminem advised.

"Are you joking? Now it's not just us who have issues with Link, but fans online and at the match are attacking him too. If we suddenly declare we are fans of Link now, what will the fans think?"

Lil Wayne said, grinning.

50 Cent, T.I., and others nodded. Their fans were still fighting, and if they made peace with Link first, those fans might well turn against them.

"What are you talking about?"

Kanye West walked in from the door.

The faces of Eminem and the others changed. If it hadn't been for their quick escape last time, Kanye might have shot them.

"Quick! Turn off the TV!"

Lil Wayne quickly said.

Seeing Link win on the boxing ring on TV would undoubtedly depress or agitate Kanye again and prompt another bout of destruction, costing their club hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Bang!

Eminem forcefully smashed his beer can against the screen, and crack—the screen went dark.

Lil Wayne glared at him angrily; the new high-definition TV had been ruined again.
