Chapter 598
?Chapter 598: 213, John’s Ambition, The Farm’s Doomsday Chapter 598: 213, John’s Ambition, The Farm’s Doomsday Donnie, in Atlantic City, naturally wouldn’t know the reactions of the people on the farm far away in Texas after seeing their homes destroyed, the anger, helplessness, madness, and ultimately their silent demeanor.
In fact, even if Donnie had seen it, he wouldn’t care, and the orders he issued might even be crazier than those from Westglenn.
To Donnie, any act daring to challenge his wealth should be directly physically destroyed.
In fact, it proved that the actions of Westglenn did have an effect, as Kelvin Murphy and his people, after seeing their homes destroyed and their belongings thrown out, chose not to resist but to compromise.
Of course, both Westglenn, who first knew of the situation, and Donnie, to whom they reported the incident, understood that the matter couldn’t just end there.
The internal issues on the farm were easy to resolve, but the broader situation outside was not.
The actions of Kelvin Murphy and the others were simply a result of a brief suppression.
Once the farm uprising truly developed into a large-scale event, Kelvin Murphy and his people would still take action.
And Donnie and the others understood that this time wouldn’t be long.
Now they just needed to wait for them to act!
As for Donnie, during this time, he actually wasn’t idle, he first went to Boise City to attend the UFC’s inauguration ceremony this year!
The UFC, which started preparations last year, is holding its inaugural competition this year, something Donnie values highly.
Although competitions like the UFC are unlikely to achieve the nationwide attention of baseball, hockey, football, and future basketball, this type of competition can attract more loyal fans.
It was also easier to work with the betting services offered by Surf Hotel!
To ensure the success of the competition’s first year, Donnie specially invited Broadway actors to perform on stage.
Although the audience could only listen via radio, this was something that made them very happy.
Doc Kearns and Tex Ricard really did give their all for the UFC.
Over the past half-year, the two were almost running around the world, all in order to find more suitable fighters for the UFC.
Just like today’s UFC competition, two matches were arranged for the audience, one featuring Jack Dempsey against Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert John Silva…
well, whether John Silva is an expert, in reality, is unknown to anyone, but that’s how it was promoted beforehand: John Silva is the number one Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert!
The American boxing champion against Brazil’s number one jiu-jitsu expert, quite the headline-grabber!
The second match was George Caponti against the British boxer Harland Alonso.
Although George Caponti lost to Jack Dempsey last year, his popularity has not declined and he can be called an American fan-favorite boxer.
Furthermore, when ABC and “The Washington Post” promoted this event, they hyped up the France versus United Kingdom angle, making everyone curious whether the French heavy hitter would knock down the British champion, or if the British champion would defeat the French heavy hitter!
Not only that, ABC’s sports channel also conducted interviews with both individual fighters.
During these interviews, the two essentially gave American audiences a taste of what it means for the trash talk to start before the match does!
Their performance on the live program was like a street brawl!
Quite sensational!
“Gentlemen, you’ve done well.
Conservatively estimated, at least five million people will be listening from home, and I believe these numbers will only get better!” Donnie said to Doc Kearns and Tex Ricard, pleased.
Now the two have officially become employees of Starry Entertainment, each serving as the manager of the UFC’s fighters division!
That’s right, any fighter participating in UFC matches must sign with UFC, and a portion of their appearance fee, advertising fee, and various other incomers are also taken by UFC.
Even so, these fighters didn’t have any objections to such terms because, before this, they were all obscure people, some even carrying bags on construction sites…
just like the British champion Harland Alonso.
All fighters signed with UFC have their own agents, of course, either Doc Kearns or Tex Ricard.
However, to avoid scenarios where agents could seize excessive control with their fighters, Donnie still assigned them countless tasks, so the specifics of managing those fighters were taken care of by the people Donnie appointed.
It isn’t unheard of for an agent to take their artists to a different company, drastically reducing the original company’s strength.
On another timeline, a certain domestic entertainment company lost the majority of its artists due to their ace agent’s departure, leading to the company’s first significant decline in strength!
“It’s all thanks to the company’s support.
Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to find so many people in so many places!”
Doc Kearns said to Donnie with a hint of flattery.
This UFC launch was not only a competition for the fighters but also a contest between Doc Kearns and Tex Ricard.
Both found many fighters during this time, but whose influence in the company would be greater and who would earn more from these fighters depended on who brought in the more impressive fighters – and of course, who knew how to create hype!
