Chapter 441 Public Opinion is Boiling

  When Link and Chris Liu were lying in bed and sleeping, news about the two staying at the Intercontinental Hotel at the same time and appearing in the hotel restaurant at the same time spread on the Internet.

There are screenshots of related videos. Although they are not clear, they once again solidify the relationship between the two.

Tianxian's fans wailed after seeing the news.

They can't understand that the fairy sister is so beautiful, so pure and clean, and so many people like her, why do they have to roll with a scumbag?

Isn't it good to find a dedicated and good man to fall in love?

Some Tianxian fans typed out the slogan "Get rid of the scumbag Link and protect Sister Shenxian" on the Internet.

More than 100,000 people liked and left messages overnight.

There are also many international black fans who accuse Link, saying that he has established a relationship with Miss Ivanka and is still messing around outside. It is really a vice that is hard to change, and the scumbag among the scumbags.

Someone called out to Ivanka and asked her to kick Link off. There are many good men in the world.

On her terms, from the president to the king, to the civilians, to billions of men, you can choose whatever you want.

There is no need to waste youth on Link, a scumbag.

There are also boxing fans asking questions on the Internet: Link is going to participate in a boxing match tomorrow, and he is still dating Tianxian in the hotel at night. Will he lose the match with soft legs the next day?

In 1990, Tyson was in Tokyo because of messing around before the game, and finally lost to James Douglas, who was much weaker than him.

And this time Link's opponent is WBA light heavyweight world champion Alexander Shumenov, known as the ’Dark horse of Kazakhstan'.

The current professional record is 12 fights, 11 wins and 1 loss.

He is also the one who has won the light heavyweight championship with the fewest matches in the current boxing arena, a very powerful opponent.

Dare to mess around in the face of such an opponent?

In addition, this match was the first fight for Link's promotion from super middleweight to light heavyweight.

There is a common sense in the sports world that athletes need to recharge their batteries before the game, don't mess around, and it's best not to touch women.

But not only did Link not do this, he still found ways to date despite the stalking of hundreds of reporters and paparazzi inside and outside the hotel.

This performance shows that he is too arrogant and not afraid of failure at all.

Based on these speculations, the media claimed that after winning 22 consecutive games, Link became complacent, despised his opponents, and couldn't even abstain from sex before the game.

Mainstream public opinion believes that Link may taste the first failure in his career on Hong Kong Island.

These comments were published on the front page of a number of newspapers the next morning, and there were also related reports on TV news.

The title is the beauty of Link's secret meeting before the game, or he will suffer the first defeat of his career on Hong Kong Island.

The latest report from Ming Pao said that after the news came to light, the Macau Gaming Center lowered the odds of Link's defeat one after another.

From the original 1:42 times the odds of Link losing a punch, it was lowered to 1:40.5, and the odds of winning the first three rounds were raised from 1:1.5 to 1:1.57.

It shows that bookmakers are also worried that Link will lose the game and use this method to avoid risks.

After these news came to light, more people ran to the betting center to place bets, and the number of lottery fans who bet on Link to lose doubled for a while.

Also because of these propaganda and hype, the news of the Link and Beirut game became the most compelling news in Asia that day.

Ranked first in the hot news search lists of major news.

Many media and many netizens have begun to discuss this game.

Discuss whether Link will lose to Beirut, can he successfully win the game and become the WBA light heavyweight world champion?

Link messed around before the game, will his legs be soft during the game and taste the bitterness of failure?

According to a survey by East Asia Sports Data Consulting Company.

The day before the match, 89.8% of netizens supported Link's victory, and 35,000 Asian boxing fans voted.

After this kind of news broke out, the proportion of support for his victory fell to 74.5%.

The proportion of people who think Beirut will win has increased to 20.7%.

The proportion of support for a tie between the two increased from 2.3% to 4.8%.

These data all show that the scandal has a great impact on Link, causing many boxing fans to lose confidence in his ability to win the game.

At the same time, it also adds a lot of exposure to this game and has a greater impact in Asia.

It also adds more uncertainty, arouses the curiosity of boxing fans, and will also make ordinary citizens pay attention to the results of this game.

However, in order to restore the reputation and maintain Chris Liu's reputation, both brokerage companies made clarifying statements through the Internet and the media on the day of the incident.

It is said that Link and Chris Liu are good friends. After learning the news of Link's competition, Chris Liu deliberately put down his work and flew to Hong Kong Island to cheer for Link.

Link is very grateful to Chris Liu for his support and invited her to dinner at the Intercontinental Hotel. She is upright and fair, without concealment, and without shady things. Netizens are requested not to listen to rumors and spread falsehoods.

I also ask Tianxian fans not to believe the news on the Internet. Most of those news are fabricated out of thin air, just to win the attention of netizens, and their credibility is extremely low.

In the end, the rumors stop at the wise man, and Tianxian fans are also invited to continue to support Chris Liu's new drama and support Link to win this game.

At the press conference before the start of the game, Link also clarified in an interview with Hong Kong Island media reporters, saying that he and Chris Liu have been friends for many years and have a very iron relationship. There is no shady relationship circulating on the Internet.

He also said that he attaches great importance to this game and the safety of his opponents. He will pay special attention to diet and rest before the game, and did not do anything to affect the game.

Regarding the explanations of the brokerage companies and Link on both sides, some people believe it or not, and there is another debate on the Internet between those who believe it and those who don't.

The final result is to see Link's performance in this game.

If your legs are soft and you lose, it means that the two are messing around in the hotel.

If he wins, it means that Link is very good and the relationship between the two is suspicious.

“Hahaha, Link, your plan for publicity and hype this time is great.”

In the locker room of the Hung Hom Stadium, Link was changing equipment and doing pre-match warm-up exercises. Eddie Hearn, president of the athletic room company, strode in and touted him.

Originally, not many people paid attention to this game. Even if the organizers and promotion companies invested tens of millions of publicity funds, it only made this game receive a little attention in Asia and become a more watched sports event.

But since Link arrived on Hong Kong Island yesterday, the attention of this event has increased sharply.

Coupled with the rumors and hype that started yesterday, words and titles such as ‘Link vs. Match’, ‘Link VS. Beirut Match’, and ‘WBA Light Heavyweight Championship’ have become popular Internet search terms in Asia.

On Google, Baidu, Weibo, Yahoo and other websites, the search volume for related terms is many times higher than two days ago.

There are more than 30,000 related news links and articles on various search sites.

The hottest ‘Link Hong Kong Island Competition’ has 8.5 million followers on the Weibo platform, and it still ranks in the top three of the hot search list. The first is the scandal between Link and Chris Liu.

Because of these propaganda, the originally silent and nameless WBA light heavyweight champion Alexander Shumenov has also gained a lot of fame.

It has gained a high reputation in Asia.

Now many people know through the news that Link's opponent in this game is Beirut, a boxer from Kazakhstan.

The boxing arena is sometimes the same as the entertainment industry, and high-profile boxers have higher appearance fees.

Because of this hype, even if you lose this game, the appearance fee for the next game will increase significantly.

This is also the reason why Eddie Hearn knew that Link was very strong and might take away the WBA golden belt, but he still contributed to this game.

“Eddie, this is not my publicity plan, and you don't have to praise me.”

Link put on a towel to keep warm, took a sip of water and said.

Neither he nor Chris Liu had the idea of hype about this date, they were just dating purely, and it had nothing to do with the promotion of the event.

He has already received 35 million appearance fees in advance. This money is equivalent to the cost of buying out the game. No matter how much he earns or how little he earns, it has nothing to do with him. It will be divided into up to several million in the future.

There is not much benefit, and he doesn't need to use this kind of thing to hype and attract attention.

As far as he knows, the reason why this scandal was reported by many media in Asia is that the organizers and bookmakers are behind it, and the media actively join the ranks of hype in order to earn traffic and sell news.

“Really?”

Eddie Hearn looked at him with a smile, not quite convinced that the hype had nothing to do with him.

The last time I played a game in London, Link also made the game known to the whole of the UK through the scandal with Emma Watson. Even more than a month after the game, there were media discussing the game and the scandal, and the popularity remained high.

And this time Link came to Hong Kong for the game, once again using the same method to hype the game into hot news in Asia.

This method looks simple and monotonous, but it is very practical, and except for Link, other boxers can't use it if they want to, because there is no such condition.

First of all, Link is strong. He is both a world champion and a pop superstar in the world music scene. He has his own traffic, and other boxers can't hype it up in this way.

There is also Link, who is handsome and has a great reputation. He is popular with girls from all over the world. His rumored girlfriends are all big stars from all over the world, but other boxers do not have this ability.

In addition, Link himself is a scumbag, not afraid of gossip, other boxers dare to do this, and they will be scolded by boxing fans as a pile of shit before they go on stage to compete, let alone watch their matches.

And Link doesn't have to worry about this aspect.

Sometimes Eddie Hearn even suspects that Link has become a scumbag, and the purpose of dating multiple girlfriends is to facilitate speculation.

If it weren't for this, his international reputation would definitely not be so high, and it is impossible for the appearance fee for foreign competitions to rise so quickly.

After understanding these points, Eddie Hearn admired Link even more in his heart.

A hype master like Link, even if he is not a boxer, he has a lot to do as a boxing promoter.

“Hey, Eddie, you're not watching from Beirut. What are you doing here? You want to use this method to help Beirut win Link?”

Franco came in from the door and joked.

“I'm not as despicable as you think. I just came to ask Link if he has any plans to join the promotion of the sports room. I can give him 50% of the company's shares plus 100 million signing bonus. Link, do you want to think about it?”

Eddie Hearn smiled.

“Eddie, is it really appropriate to dig the foot of the wall in person?”

Before Link could answer, Franco shouted dissatisfied.

“I'm not digging for the wall, but thinking about Link's future. At present, the American boxing arena has become very impetuous and talents are scarce. Only a bunch of veterans in their 30s and 40s are fighting for their fists. The younger generation has no outstanding characters except Link.

From the last century to the present, the British boxing scene has continued to flock to many powerful and famous boxers, such as David Haye, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and so on.

We are people in the circle, and we all understand one thing. If a boxer wants to reach the pinnacle of the industry, in addition to being strong enough, he must also have a few powerful opponents.

For example, Hoya and Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, and Hopkins, they have achieved each other.

What Link lacks most now is a few powerful opponents. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are just right for young boxers, so Link signed in to the gym to promote it, which will be more helpful for future development.”

Eddie Hearn talked eloquently.

Franco frowned, “Are you really here to dig the foot of the wall?"Let's not mention that you mentioned that there is no one in the American boxing arena. This is wrong in itself. Deontay Wilder, Andy Ruiz Jr., and Andre Ward are all very potential boxers.

Another point, the most important point, the current ten highest PPV revenue sharing in boxing matches all take place in the United States. If you want to make money, you'd better stay in the United States, so don't bother Link here, let him prepare with peace of mind.”

“Huh, American boxing only attaches importance to PPV revenue, not to mining and cultivating powerful boxers. You have gone astray. I bet that in 20 years, the center of boxing will inevitably return to the UK.”

Eddie Hearn said with an oath.

“That will have to wait until 20 years later.”

Franco retorted.

Link listened to the conversation between the two without interrupting. With the help of a boxing assistant, he tied a hand bandage and put on boxing gloves.

“Well, let go of the contract beforehand, Link, I also came here to help you issue the gauntlet. He has a good relationship with Carl. He said that this game will definitely help Carl teach you a lesson. I hope you don't have soft legs during the game.”

Eddie Hearn joked.

“Don't worry, I won't.”

Link shook the gloves of both hands, his arms muscles bulging tightly.

“Link, come on!Won the light heavyweight championship and became the first person in the world boxing arena.”

Morarez shouted.

The coaching staff also cheered for Link.

Simon came over to remind him that the pre-game inspection had begun, and Link, Coach Brooks and others went to the scene to weigh and check the equipment.
