Chapter 296

On December 14, Zhou Zhen arrived in Las Vegas for a re inspection. At this time, the heat of their game has long been white hot.

All the seats that can accommodate 10800 spectators in the Wynn arena have been sold, and ESPN has made a lot of money from advertisements and sponsors from all sides.

This game is a private game and does not involve any qualifying and gold belt, but it is still very popular.

ESPN is good at organizing this competition. It not only has two pairs of boxers on the field, but also invited many celebrities and singers to warm up the field.

This boxing match is more like a carnival.

This is the last match in Zhou Zhen's contract with ESPN. Now they quit the live broadcast of boxing because of business adjustment, which is also the last boxing match they organized.

Zhou Zhen has an appearance fee of 1.2 million, which is fixed in the contract. But at the same time, there are 5% of tickets, advertising fees and sponsorship fees.

According to preliminary estimates, he can take away about $8.5 million to $9 million in this game.

Because he is the champion, barek has a higher appearance fee and an income of more than ten million.

ESPN is definitely not at a loss, because half of the ticket revenue, they can earn about 50 million. Combined with advertising fees and sponsorship fees, the gross revenue is definitely more than 100 million.

On December 15, Zhou Zhen's team uploaded the sound sources of two songs on the Internet in China and the United States.

Because of the time difference, Huaxia was 12 hours ahead of schedule.

For a moment, it detonated the world music world.

That Chinese song is not uncommon and easy to sing, but English songs are very difficult. They integrate a variety of popular elements without any conflict. This kind of music is unprecedented.

There is a lot of discussion about the two songs on the Internet. Most people don't think this English song was written by Zhou Zhen himself.

Zhou Zhen's team did not refute, allowing all kinds of suspicions to spread.

Zhou Zhen didn't surf the Internet and spent the whole day dealing with the media for the final publicity.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the lively game began.

First, a famous singer opened. After he sang two songs, he began the first mat game.

At the end of the first padded match, the huge beauty dance team of Yongli casino performed a hot dance.

After the second game, the atmosphere became more intense. The bets on Zhou Zhen and barrek inside and outside the game had stopped.

This performance was performed by the famous little diva in the music world. Her two powerful dance music made the atmosphere of the scene reach the peak.

However, the competition related to everyone's interests, from boxing to meat, is still irreplaceable by music.

When Zhou Zhen appeared, he was cheered by the whole audience. When he went to the seat of his friends in Hollywood, Stallone and Batista grabbed him.

Stallone hugged him under his arm, but Batista squatted slightly with his back to him. Zhou Zhen understood and couldn't help laughing.

This is his first main game, and what the audience needs is gimmicks. Now there are two strong men to match, and the audience likes it best.

Zhou Zhen was not polite either. He jumped on Batista's shoulder with Stallone. Then he stood up and took Zhou Zhen to the challenge arena.

Zhou Zhen waved her fists to the cheering audience and kept kissing the camera.

Zhou Zhen didn't worry about the real game. He was originally the strongest in the world. Now with the help of biological computer, he can find the weakness of his opponent as quickly as possible and win at the least cost.

It can be said that in the face of an opponent with 80 points, he does not need to show 85 points of strength, but only 20 points of strength, and he can easily win.

Of course, it's too easy. In today's main match, the opponent is the former WBC intercontinental lightweight champion. This game must be more "intense" in order to attract the audience's interest in watching in the future.

Zhou Zhen has decided to take two small punches, hang up the lottery, and then win "hard" in six rounds.

He is already seeking defeat alone. If he wants to be fierce, now he can only rely on acting.

Otherwise, you'll solve your opponent with one punch on the stage. Who still plays with him?

The appearance is so hot that Barrera's appearance is much worse. Although attention needs fierce fighting, it also prefers boxers with gimmicks.

For example, Mayweather who shows off his wealth, such as mouth gun, has more topics and will be more popular.

The so-called fierce competition is the process that Zhou Zhen suppresses her strength, fights with the other party, and finally wins.

Zhou Zhen did not regard the challenge arena as a boxing ring, but as a stage for performance.

On the stage, he doesn't require a single blow to defeat the enemy. What he needs is to show his image in front of all the audience, that is, outfit ratio.

Let women scream and men sigh.

This fierce competition was warmly pursued. ESPN made a lot of money just by selling broadcasting rights.

The advertising fee, sponsorship fee and ticket revenue exceeded 100 million US dollars.

This also laid a solid foundation for the negotiation between Zhou Zhen and dazn.

After the game and the media interview that night, Zhou Zhen returned to her room and joined the final consultation.

Dazn is to grab a job from the TV station, so it spared no effort to seize this market.

Just like Tengxun video, in order to develop VIP users, they can also offer sky high prices for popular dramas, and even start making programs themselves.

Golden boy brokerage company is their selected partner. This company not only has Zhou Zhen, but also avarez, the middleweight champion, biwal, the future star, and 70 or 80 boxers who are famous in the boxing world.

These boxers alone can organize many eye-catching competitions and carnivals every year.

Therefore, the negotiation gap is not large. In fact, Hoya has met the current conditions. The income of a game is $40 million, which is $80 million a year.

And there is no performance pressure. Except for two games, the only requirement is to participate in five entertainment games every year. It can be said to be very generous.

This is the world boxing world. Although it can't compare with the top several, it also stands at the top of the pyramid.

To tell the truth, if Zhou Zhen hadn't got the Hollywood status bonus, it would be impossible to get such a high appearance fee in more than a year.

But Zhou Zhen is still dissatisfied. He thinks his value can be reflected through this game. Now there is only objection to the contract amount.

Dazn is also taking risks. They pay nearly 160 million dollars a year just for the appearance fees of Zhou Zhen and avarez!

Therefore, on the basis of 40 million, they are not willing to add money.

Zhou Zhen put forward another requirement, that is, the contract period is shortened, five years becomes four years, it is still ten games, and the contract amount remains unchanged.

Hoya knows Zhou Zhen's ability. He doesn't have to spend too much energy in the current game.

Unlike other boxers, a game takes months to heal or adjust.

Not to mention two games a year, ten games a year, that is, ten games a year, he has no problem.

Dazn agreed to this condition after receiving Hoya's guarantee, and there was no difference between the two sides.

The next day, a news that shocked the world boxing and entertainment circles came out. Zhou Zhen officially signed a contract with streaming media dazn with us $400 million in four years.

The amount of this contract is far more than ordinary people think. Almost everyone was shocked and speechless when they saw the contract amount.

If you don't count Mayweather's ability to absorb money in his last few games, his contract has never been so big before he won the champion's gold belt Grand Slam.

In four years, it is not the income from advertising and on-demand fees, but the signing money. Dazn really took a huge risk.

HBO and other TV stations have criticized the contract, believing that dazn is fooling around, disrupting the situation in the world boxing world and sabotaging it.

Influenced by them, all major boxers, including the champion, also spoke one after another and thought that Zhou Zhen was not worth the money.

After Mayweather retired, the highest income in the sports world in 2018 was less than $100 million!

For example, the highest earning Ronaldo in 2017, his salary plus bonus was only 58 million, and his advertising expenses were 35 million, a total of less than 100 million.

Zhou Zhen's contract money alone has exceeded his advertising expenses.

At this time, the golden boy brokerage company announced in the major media that it welcomed any boxing champion who did not accept Zhou Zhen's strength. Except for the heavyweight champion, Zhou Zhen did not refuse.

Dazn company also issued an invitation. As long as the light heavyweight and sub heavyweight champion with the champion's gold belt are willing to compete with Zhou Zhen, dazn will arrange the competition according to the order of engagement.

It's really lively. Dazn and golden boy brokerage company don't refuse any champion's challenge, which means that taking advantage of this heat, any champion who challenges may make a lot of money.

Zhou Zhen also spoke on major social networking platforms, with a simple sentence: welcome to the war.

For a while, the phone of golden boy brokerage company kept ringing, and many boxing champions really made an appointment.

On December 18, Jintong economic company issued an announcement announcing that it had accepted the engagement of the three boxing champions. In the next time, it will negotiate with each other on the way, time, place and dividend standard.

Dazn also issued an announcement that it will actively cooperate with the publicity of those arrangements, and has contacted the MGM Golden Palace Garden Arena and will arrange a competition in March.

Anyway, dazn's goal has been achieved. Even if Zhou Zhen's mud can't help the wall, they will spend $100 million on advertising a year.

Of course, Zhou Zhen is not mud. After seeing the real strength demonstrated by Zhou Zhen, their leaders are full of confidence in him.

After Mayweather retired, the boxing world needs Zhou Zhen, a strong star boxer who can attract the audience.

Their website has Zhou Zhen, a star boxer, which is destined to bring a large wave of traffic.

Let them feel more relieved that, just three days after signing the contract, Tengxun, a network platform from China, came to negotiate the broadcasting right with them.

At this time, Zhou Zhen has returned to China and started a busy show. Everywhere she goes, she forms a hurricane.
