Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

"Link, hurry up, the competition is about to start!"

On the beach, a girl in a bikini waved at him. With her blonde hair and fair skin, coupled with her stunning figure, she was certainly a top beauty.

She was also Link's new companion, Amber Hilton, a 22-year-old actress who had appeared in TV shows like "Orange County Boys" and movies such as "Northern Storm". In Hollywood, she was considered a third-tier actress.

He had met her at one of Paul Walker's parties.

The woman was young and beautiful, with a nice figure and good looks. However, after meeting Taylor, Ivanka, and Gadot, he realized that top beauties also came in various levels.

Taylor was a talented woman, smart and beautiful, with an air of a literary young lady about her. She didn't seem to have any significant faults aside from being too busy.

Ivanka was born into a wealthy family, with a beauty score of eighty or ninety and a figure score of ninety-nine. She was well-mannered, knowledgeable, and capable. Apart from being a bit domineering, everything else about her was quite good.

Gadot was straightforward and had a pleasant personality. She valued marriage highly, however, and Link couldn't offer her what she wanted, nor did he want to continue holding her back.

And his new acquaintance Amber was also a top beauty, but she had a lot more issues. She was less educated, lacked depth, and used foul language when she spoke, wasting her stunning looks somewhat.

"Link, what are you looking at?"

Amber stepped on the sandy mound, wearing a blue bikini that showcased her curvaceous body to full effect, both busty and bootylicious.

Link walked over and patted her firm buttocks, then pulled her along to continue with the game.

That afternoon, back at the Santa Monica beachfront villa, Mrs. Mandy approached him with a folder.

"Link, I'm going to take a shower first. Hurry up and come upstairs."

Amber planted a kiss on his face and hummed a tune as she headed up to the second-floor room.

Mrs. Mandy glanced at her and wanted to warn Link to be careful around this woman, as Amber seemed quite scheming.

But then she thought better of it, considering Link was no fool, and he hadn't made any mistakes concerning women thus far, so she didn't speak up.

After receiving the folder, Link opened it and felt a bit of a headache coming on. There were more than thirty invitations to events at the front.

These included performances at the Grammy Awards in February, the American Music Awards, the Latin Music Awards ceremony, MTV music shows, and more.

There were also over twenty concert invitations, mostly as a guest performer.

Plus, dozens of city autograph-signing events and more than ten potential ads—it would take half a year to complete all these commitments. Way too busy.

Link shook his head, "Mandy, I've got training scheduled every day and no time to travel to so many places. Let's cut the events and concerts in half, and any endorsement deals for less than 5 million I'm not taking."

Mrs. Mandy hesitated before speaking, "Link, 'The Fighter' is currently selling, and more promotional activities and autograph-signing events could boost album sales."

"I understand, but I've got other work lined up, boxing, acting. There isn't much time to spare for album promotion."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After thinking it over, Link said, "You guys get in touch with Dynasty Promotions and see what their competition schedule looks like. Maybe we could coordinate boxing matches to take place in different cities. Around the time of the matches, we could also hold album signings and promotion."

Selling the album during boxing matches?

Mrs. Mandy took the idea seriously and suddenly found it very feasible.

Link was the world boxing champion and had a large fanbase across the US and the world. After 'The Fighter' was released, he also gained many music fans.

If he went to a city for a boxing match, boxing fans would attend, and so would his music fans. When boxing and music fans combined, Link's hardcore fan base could grow even more. Not only would his album be a hit, but the number of people willing to pay for boxing matches could increase as well.

"We can also do bundled sales, give away the album with ticket purchases, or give away match tickets with the album," Link suggested after a moment's thought.

Mrs. Mandy nodded and took notes of his suggestions.

"One more thing, Mandy. I've saved up five songs for the second album, all themed around love. If all goes well, I could release another album later this year. Please ask Mr. Grey to continue looking for songs."

Considering he didn't have time for promotion, to make up for this shortfall, Link was planning to release more albums and singles, keeping his music scene presence alive through these means.

After releasing seven or eight hit albums in a row, he didn't believe he wouldn't make it as a top-tier singer.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Mandy, he went back upstairs to the bedroom and saw Amber fast asleep on the bed, covered only by a towel, revealing her pale and slender figure. She indeed looked like a knockout.

Link shook his head, covered her with a blanket, and went to the gym to work out.

The next day, Link held a small concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where he sang just ten songs to an audience of over ten thousand people. Afterward, he held a signing event, during which he sold 12,000 albums.

These numbers surprised the head of the Los Angeles distribution company.

'The Fighter' had sold 97,000 copies in its first week. Now, just in Los Angeles, he had sold 12,000 copies in half a day. What would the second week's sales be? Explore more adventures at empire

Furthermore, during the signing event, Link wrote his name, Link Baker, more than 12,000 times in a row. The speed of his hand was truly astonishing.

Ordinary singers would suffer from cramped and swollen hands after writing two to three thousand times in a row. Link, however, kept going for 12,000 times, averaging over thirty signatures per minute without pause.

Incredible.

Soon, many media outlets reported the news: first, Link's album was a hit in Los Angeles, selling 12,000 copies in half a day.

Second, he had personally signed over twelve thousand autographs in half a day, almost setting a new Guinness World Record.

Both pieces of news were quite enticing and successfully caught the attention of many people.

However, some people did not believe Link could sign so quickly, so a day later, the record company held another autograph session at the Los Angeles Museum Exhibition Hall.

That day attracted over thirty thousand spectators, with more than twenty thousand people buying albums to get signed by Link, including boxing fans, music fans, and some reporters who were there for the spectacle.

Link sat on a stool without moving, except to eat lunch. From morning to afternoon, he had signed another 18,000 albums.

After these figures were released, they sparked another round of media frenzy. Selling 18,000 albums in one day was nothing special, as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Britney, and others had sold hundreds of thousands of copies in a single city in one day.

But there has never been a singer like Link, who could sit still and sign 18,000 albums in one day.

The media were astonished, other singers sell albums with their voices, but Link sold them with his signing speed, befitting of a world boxing champion, with both strength and stamina that were extraordinary.

Link felt speechless, as a singer, he hoped the media would focus on the songs in his album, not on his signing speed.

Ding-a-ling!

Having just finished an autograph session and while taking a break, Link received a call. It was from Taylor.

About a week had gone by without contact since the two had broken up over the phone. Seeing Taylor's call, he somewhat didn't want to pick it up, breaking up over the phone was not a good habit after all.

"Hey, Taylor, still in Britain?"

Link asked.

"I saw the news in the newspapers."

Taylor spoke with a tone so flat that it was hard to discern her emotions.

"The news about signing 18,000 albums in one day? Even British media reported it? Those journalists really have nothing better to do."

"No, it's about your new girlfriend."

Taylor put extra emphasis on 'new girlfriend', sounding quite angry.

Link massaged his forehead. The reason he immediately sought female companionship after breaking up with Taylor over the phone was to cut the Gordian knot and prevent the situation from getting too messy.

"You mean Amber? Yes, we're dating."

"I disagree!"

Taylor said.

"What?"

Link asked, confused.

"I said I disagree. I disagree with the breakup you suggested last time, and I disagree with you dating other women. You are my boyfriend, and until I agree to break up with you, you must remain my boyfriend."

Taylor's voice was very determined, and Link was taken aback listening to her.

In the past, Taylor would break up once or twice a year in the news, write songs about her exes right after, and move on swiftly. This approach was much like that of the old poets and writers, who would love for the sake of creating, gathering material for their songs.

After Link proposed the breakup to Taylor over the phone, he was prepared to be immortalized in one of her songs, but Taylor's sudden change of heart, unwilling to break up, caught him off guard.

Unsure how to handle the relationship and avoid hurting the other party at the same time.

"Taylor, we're both too busy, it's not fitting to be boyfriend and girlfriend, you should understand that,"

Link said.

It was more than them being busy, even when not busy they would live in different places. Having Taylor as a girlfriend was no different than not having one at all.

After much deliberation, Link decided to call Taylor, who was in a foreign country, to suggest they break up. Actually, he would have prefered to do it face to face, but Taylor was about to start a tour and wouldn't be back for six months.

"I don't understand, I don't think being busy is the main reason. Don't you love me, weren't our days together happy?"

Taylor said.

Link fished in his pocket, pulled out a lollipop, and put it in his mouth, "Living together was indeed great, it's just that it was too short-lived. After you left, being at home alone every day was terrible, do you understand?"

There was no response from Taylor.

Link sighed, "I could have secretly dated other girls after you left, and when you returned, continued our relationship. But that would've hurt you even more. I thought for a long time before making that call."

Taylor was still silent.

Link saw Mrs. Mandy motioning to him from the lounge door that the autograph session was about to begin.

He said to Taylor, "Taylor, you are a fantastic singer, and you will become a huge international celebrity, perhaps even achieve greater things. Keep striving for your goals. Alright, I've got another autograph session here. Let's talk some other time."

"I disagree!"

Just as he was about to hang up, Taylor suddenly spoke loudly, "I disagree with the breakup, you are still my boyfriend, I will finish my overseas work as soon as possible and come back to be with you, you just wait."

Link felt somewhat helpless; he had said so much, so why wouldn't she agree?

Could it be that she was willing to give up her career and return to home life?

He did not think Taylor would give up, nor did he wish for her to do so. So, what was the point of continuing this entanglement?
