Chapter 186 First Week's Results

"Hey, Link, can you win?"

Dino called from New York.

Standing in an aisle of the Los Angeles Public Library, Link walked and talked on the phone, "This is about selling albums, not a boxing match. How many albums can be sold in the first week? I can't be sure until the results are out. Are you placing a bet?"

"Yes, I'm ready to wager some pocket money."

"Alright, how's Mario's match going?"

"Of course he won. I specially arranged the first opponent to be a stepping stone for him, and Mario knocked him out in three rounds."

Dino said.

Link thought of Micky Ward from "Fighter," who was also initially a stepping-stone boxer.

"Mario has an attitude problem; he tends to get cocky after winning. If you want to condition him, find him some tough opponents to beat him down a bit. Maybe he'll get even better."

"It seems that way, alright. I'll get him a tough opponent for the next match."

Dino laughed.
