Donnie became interested in Tex Ricard''s words and nodded, "Continue speaking!"
Tex Ricard went on, "I''ve actually been thinking, if there could be a boxing league simr to Major League Baseball, could it also be an influential league?"
Tex Ricard''s words immediately made Donnie think of a famous boxing match inter generations, the UFC!
This event, born out of mixed martial arts and first presented to the audience in 1993, soon became a global spectacle.
Although the impact of UFC events was still somewhat limitedpared to otherpetitions, there was no denying that the oues of such events were easier to manipte.
Once the influence of this event was established, it could form an annualpetition model and even attract more gamblers!
Moreover, Donnie had indeed been considering the future development ns for Antic City recently.
Just the Surf Hotel, in Donnie''s view, was indeed a bit insubstantial; if more attractions for tourists, especially for wealthy guests, could be developed here, it would definitely be a good thing for Antic City!
In fact, inter generations, events like UFC were often held in the world''s casino cities like Las Vegas and Macau!
"A simple boxing match won''t suffice!"
Donnie quickly spotted a problem; as mentioned before, a celebrated boxer wouldn''t have that many matches in a year.
And right now, there weren''t many true boxing stars in the United States, and to make this work, another thing had to be aplished first.
That was creating celebrities!
Creating more boxing neers like George Caponti, as only then could the event be better promoted!
"If you, Mr. Block, have ideas about this, I can help!"
Tex Ricard saw that Donnie was quite interested in this matter.
As the agent of a boxer, George Caponti was already the most sessful boxer under his management.
This also indicated that Tex Ricard was not the most famous among boxing agents in the United States.
And Tex Ricard had also realized that just being an agent actually couldn''t bring him much wealth.
If he could help bring about such an event.
Then the situation would bepletely different.
It would not only bring him a massive amount of wealth but also raise his social profile significantly!
However, Tex Ricard also knew that with his own abilities alone, it would be impossible to make this happen. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
So, once he saw Donnie''s promotion of the fight between Jack Dempsey and George Caponti, as well as the shaping of George Caponti''s image, an idea immediately formed in his mind.
His own ability, financial power, and influence weren''t sufficient, but Donnie''s were!
More importantly, Donnie was one of the underground kings of Antic City, and as the first American city to legalize the spinach industry, it was bound to be one of the most bustling resort destinations in the United States.
Donnie looked at Tex Ricard with a smile and said, "Good, then you make a detailed n and a budget, and then we can discuss the specifics!"
Upon receiving Donnie''s affirmative response, Tex Ricard immediately said excitedly, "No problem!"
This time, all matters were truly discussed, and Donnie also rose and left.
After leaving the hotel, Donnie immediately summoned Robert and ryed to him the n Tex Ricard had just outlined!
"This matter has a very high likelihood of sess, and it could also attract more tourists to Antic City. Lead thepany''s team to give this matter thorough consideration!"
Even though Donnie had already tasked Tex Ricard with drafting the n, he had more faith in his own people.
Furthermore, Donnie believed that Tex Ricard wouldn''t just hand over the n without expecting something in return.
If Ricard hade up with this n, it meant he was a smart man, a capable man. If Ricard''s demands were within Donnie''s eptable range, Donnie was willing to meet his requests.@@novelbin@@
But if the other party asked for too much, Donnie also needed to have his own backup n!
"This is a very good idea. If we can control such an event that can be held annually in our own hands, and then leverage the publicity of Antic City Broadcast, there will undoubtedly be great prospects!"
After hearing the details, Robert thought briefly and then excitedly said.
Post-war United States, despite its range of problems, overall, was tending towards a direction of rapid and stable development.
Under such circumstances, the American demand for entertainment was also growing day by day.
If one observed carefully, they would realize that the biggest entertainment projects—radio, movies—had seen rapid development over this decade.
Donnie nodded and smiled, "That''s what I think as well, which is why I''m having you pay attention to this matter. There''s one thing you need to keep in mind: do not limit thepetition to just boxing matches; we should refer more to mixed martial arts and the model of the Roman Colosseum!"
Having been with Donnie for so long, Robert could urately guess what Donnie was thinking.
"So, your idea is to host a mixed martial arts event!"
Donnie nodded, "However, this involves various fighting disciplines and their different rules. To get this right, we need talents from different martial arts techniques to join us. Beforeunching the event, all issues should be anticipated and solutions found!"
Robertughed, "If that''s the case, then this is going to be a significant expense, but there''s another important issue as well!"
Donnie asked, "What problem?"
Robert replied, "The venue issue!"
He then borated, "Such an event,pared to Major League Baseball or football games, may not have such high venue requirements, but it should still have a venue that can amodate at least twenty thousand people.
And ording to our ns, this venue must be in Antic City, but the problem is that Antic City does not have such a venue!"
With confidence, Donnie smiled, "That won''t be an issue. I will discuss procuring such a piece ofnd with the people at City Hall."
As Antic City became the first city in the United States to legalize the spinach industry, it was apparent to the naked eye that the city''s future development would elerate, and in recent months, the influx of new immigrants to the city had been increasing.
Under these circumstances, City Hall had already been contemting expanding Antic City further north, and this initiative had been reported to the State Government as well.
That meant City Hall was going to n out more idlend.
Given Donnie''s current influence, getting City Hall to n a piece ofnd that could amodate such a sports venue was not a problem!
As for funding, Donnie was even less worried.
His bootlegging business was booming, and with the ie from this event and his rtionships with Morgan and Mellon, getting the money to build a sports venue would be easy!
While Donnie and Robert were discussing the matter, Steve Cotting walked in, stating that Reid Hajj had arrived in Antic City and was seeking a meeting with Donnie!
