Anpa didn't agree directly. Instead, she said that she needed to discuss it with Clive.
But from Anpa's expression, he could tell that she was tempted.
Chen Zhao wasn't in a hurry. He left after exchanging some pleasantries.
…
"Chen, I heard something."
Chen Zhao received Alex's call.
At the moment, Chen Zhao was fishing while Gerlyn was diving in the water.
She often pulled the hook underwater too. She thought that she could trick Chen Zhao this way.
Chen Zhao would also pretend to be tricked and show an indignant expression. Then, he would look at Gerlyn's smug expression because he would feel happy himself.
"What is it?" Chen Zhao asked.
"You asked me to pay attention to Tiger's movements. I heard that he's been looking for foreign boxers. He seems to be choosing an opponent."
"You can choose an opponent in boxing?"
"Challenge. This is very common in the boxing world. As long as both sides agree to it, and after discussing the commercial share and appearance fee, they can stand in the ring."
"With Tiger's current status in the boxing world, will anyone accept his challenge?"
"Too many people want to fight him and become famous. Even if they know that they can't beat him, they still hope to use him as a stepping stone. There's also a small group of boxers who have an extravagant hope. What if they win?"
"Does that mean anyone can challenge him?" Chen Zhao asked.
"No. First, he has to be famous and influential. Only then will sponsors be willing to give huge prize money. For boxers at Tiger's level, he'll charge at least $100 million in appearance fee for other matches, apart from the regular season and points competitions."
"Does that mean that if I can afford his appearance fee, I can arrange a fight with him?"
"I said that only if both sides agree."
"You can't do it unilaterally?"
"That depends on how determined you are."
"In other words, as long as I pay a big enough price, I can decide unilaterally? Is that what you mean? "
"In the history of the boxing world, there was once a duel that used deceit. A nameless amateur boxer spent a large sum of money to buy the media to carry out three months of continuous false reports of the match. In the newspapers, he was portrayed as the invincible Zhan Zhan. He clearly had never fought in any abnormal professional matches, but he became a supernova in the boxing world. No one had even seen his matches, but he had all sorts of incredible titles. Then, he issued a challenge to the number one boxer at that time. Under the watchful eyes of all the media, the number one boxer at that time accepted the challenge. Hundreds of sponsors provided a prize pool of 150 million US dollars. The winner would receive 80% of the prize pool, and the loser would receive 20% of the prize pool. In the end, of course, the swindler lost. Even so, he still received 30 million US dollars in income, and his income was absolutely legitimate. Other than the tax bureau, no one could find trouble with him."
"What if my fighter already has a certain level of fame?"
"That's not a problem," Alex said. "How much are you willing to pay?"
"As long as Tiger is willing to accept the challenge, I can pay as much as you want, but I have a request."
"What?"
"The winner takes all," Chen Zhao said.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure," Chen Zhao said calmly.
"First, confirm how much you're going to pay."
"Then $200 million," Chen Zhao said.
"Chen, I don't know what happened between you and Tiger, but I have to remind you. Even if you want to destroy him with a challenge like this, even if the winner takes it all, you won't get $200 million in the end, because you'll have to pay taxes." "That's right.
"How much do I have to pay?"
"Very high. The highest in Los Angeles is 49%. The prize money for a match like this is definitely the highest."
Spend $100 million to fix Tiger?
It wasn't that Chen Zhao didn't want to spend the money, but he didn't think that Tiger was worth it.
If it cost $100 million to fix Tiger, Chen Zhao would do it himself instead of wasting it.
"It's difficult, but it's not completely impossible," Alex said. "There are many ways to recoup the cost for a match that's based on winning. First, find a place with lower taxes. Second, find more sponsors. With Tiger's fame, it's easy to get a lot of sponsors."
"I'll leave this to you. If my loss is less than 10%, you'll get an extra 1% commission. It can be accumulated. If I can make money, you can get more commission too."
Alex's smile became even more brilliant. Hehe … Deceiving her boss to get more benefits was indeed a very effective method.
Of course, most of what Alex said was true. Only one sentence was false.
Difficult … In fact, this kind of thing was too easy for her.
When Chen Zhao said that he would use $200 million to teach his former disciple a lesson, Alex was already tempted.
She was already tempted.
If Chen Zhao gave her commission for this money, she would earn a lot.
It was easy for rich people to earn money, just like Chen Zhao.
As long as he had enough capital, he would be able to catch more and bigger fish.
Chen Zhao's main goal wasn't even to earn money.
But Alex was able to turn a vengeance ceremony into a commercial competition.
The sponsors wouldn't have any objections either.
They would spend a lot of money to sponsor Tiger's match.
Although it was because of Tiger's fame.
If the match could definitely cause a sensation, the sponsors' investment would be multiplied.
The sponsors' investment would be multiplied by several times.
How to create a sensational effect in this match?
That was, Tiger would lose!
Actually, the entire boxing world thought that Tiger wouldn't lose.
He wouldn't lose no matter what opponent he faced.
But if he really lost, it would shock the entire world.
…
Bach realized that Tiger was getting more and more irritable these days.
He was also clearly losing control.
Yesterday, he'd seriously injured a maid who'd broken her life.
If Bach hadn't spent money to shut the maid's family up, Tiger's career would've failed.
In this country with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, people envied and hated the rich.
Right now, Tiger was undoubtedly a rich person.
If it was said that he'd beaten up a maid, he'd go from a sports hero to a sinner that everyone wanted to beat up.
Bach had tried to persuade him a few times, but Tiger rejected him coldly every time.
Bach could never imagine that Tagore would say something so outrageous.
