Chapter 216 Emma's Plan

He had a simple meal at the hotel, which was toast, milk and barbecue brought from the United States.

In order to prevent the phenomenon of acclimatization, he was very cautious in his diet before the game, and did not eat spicy food, nor those British food and drinks.

After returning to the hotel room, he received a call from Emma, ​​asking him when to visit her home.

Link was a little helpless.

After Emma left Miami last year, he also consciously reduced his contact with her.

I thought that after more than a year, the two sides could be ordinary friends again, drinking and chatting together.

But Emma didn't want these.

In early August, after the news of his coming to London to participate in the boxing match was announced, Emma kept sending messages asking him when he would arrive in London and wanted to date him.

Link was not good at refusing, so he reluctantly agreed.

But after careful consideration, he found it unrealistic.

Both of them are popular stars. To have a risk-free date under the spotlight of the media is as difficult as winning a difficult boxing champion challenge.

Especially since the two of them have to face the group of entertainment reporters who once forced Princess Diana to have a car accident, the difficulty will be even greater.

For his own safety and career prospects, he thinks it is better to cancel or postpone.

But Emma is a little willful and insists on dating, which is a bit troublesome.

Link thought for a while and said: "Emma, ​​many media know about the scandal of our relationship. Just now at the press conference, a reporter asked about this matter. They should keep an eye on our whereabouts. It will be troublesome to be photographed. Otherwise, let's talk about it next year. I will come to the UK for a concert next year, and I will have more time then."

"Next year? It's too long. Link, I just read your interview news. You said you want to meet with me, Daniel and Robert, right? We can date at Daniel or Robert's house. They are in London these days. I will contact them in a while."

Emma said excitedly on the phone.

"Go to their place for a date? Is this appropriate?"

Link hesitated. He had met Harry Potter and golden retriever Robert several times, but they were just ordinary friends.

If you go to their house for a date, it will be very embarrassing unless it is a serious date.

"It's okay. I know them too well. They dare not refuse. Wait for my good news."

Emma hung up the phone quickly.

Link shrugged his shoulders, turned off the shower, and went back to the bedroom to rest for a while.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, he took the motorcade provided by the organizer and came to the Tower of London Hotel on the banks of the Thames in the central area of ​​London.

Although this hotel is not the most luxurious, the surrounding environment is great. Outside the window is the Thames and London Bridge. There are also many historical museums, theaters, and bars around. It is also close to the O2 Arena on the Greenwich Peninsula.

After Link settled in the hotel, Eddie Hearn, general manager of the Arena Promotion Company, and the president of the WBA/WBC Boxing Association also came to the hotel to discuss the itinerary arrangements for the next few days with him and Franco.

In addition to the competition, there are also many press conferences, BBC TV interviews, boxing fans gatherings, charity parties, etc.

Doing so can increase his exposure during his stay in London and attract more viewers to watch the boxing matches of the day.

The more people watch, the higher the PPV share.

Link is not lazy when it comes to making money.

In addition, Eddie Hearn also told him that no less than one member of the royal family will come to watch the match. With the participation of the royal family, the match will become more eye-catching.

"Royal family? If I beat Carl French in just a few seconds, will that royal family member feel embarrassed?"

Link looked at Eddie Hearn and smiled.

Eddie Hearn is 30 years old this year and is the son of Barry Hearn, president of Arena Promotions.

Barry Hearn is also a famous boxing promoter who has successfully promoted more than a dozen top boxers including boxing champions Frank Bruno, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, and 'Prince' Hamed.

Eddie Hearn has been in charge of boxing promotions at Arena since 2003, and has first-class boxers such as Carl French and Mickey Garcia under his command.

In the future, he will become the most famous boxing promoter of the world boxing champion. The future British boxing champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are all signed by him.

He is also the most successful of the second generation of boxing.

The other party has done a good job in promoting boxing, and Link also plans to cooperate with him for a long time.

"Haha, Link, you are really joking. The royal family members are just here to watch the game, why would they care about this? You just need to win the game, don't think about other things."

Eddie Hearn waved his hand and smiled.

"This is better."

Link nodded.

Eddie Hearn looked at him and smiled: "Link, are you sure you can beat Carl in a few seconds?"

"Not sure, but I will try to end the game as early as possible."

"You are such a cruel guy!"

Eddie Hearn didn't say anything to him, but instead pulled Franco to discuss long-term cooperation.

He also expressed his envy of Franco in his words.

Yes, now it's not just him in the circle, all promoters are envious of Franco's good luck.

Link is not only a good fighter, but also a top singer and a famous athlete.

With the triple halo bonus, Link's future appearance fees will become higher and higher. In the future, he may surpass De La Hoya and Pacquiao and become a money-making beast in the boxing world.

In June, after Link successfully defended his WBA world title, Ring magazine brought up last year's Golden Gloves tournament again.

Link quickly became famous in the Golden Gloves Series. Faced with solicitations from many promotion companies, he offered a signing bonus of 100 million and wanted a 70% share. This news was ridiculed by many industry insiders.

Judging from the current situation, even if it spends 300 million US dollars and gives him a 90% share, the promotion company still has a lot of room for profit.

Franco and Dynasty Promotions have truly struck a gold mine.

After seeing off Eddie Hearn and others, Link went to the fitness center next to the hotel to do some simple boxing training.

When he left the hotel, he found a lot of suspicious people on the street, almost dozens of them. He walked towards the fitness center, and those people followed him closely, and some were taking pictures with cameras.

Bodyguard Wallace told him that based on his many years of experience as bodyguards for celebrities, these people include many elite paparazzi. They are well-equipped and often fight in groups. They are a troublesome group of guys.

Link nodded in understanding.

While training, Daniel Radcliffe of 'Harry Potter' and Robert Grint of 'Golden Retriever' called and asked him if he had time tomorrow, and warmly invited him to a party at his home for a chat.

Link thought for a moment and agreed if he had time tomorrow afternoon.
