The amount of stupidity in these tweets. Do they not understand the difference between someone asking you to boycott their show and the other asking you to boycott a WHOLE streaming service?
no brotha. they just hate black men for some reason. they might be fake accounts tho. either way their opinions don't matter.im legit heated reading this shyt
ZERO understanding of what he said in that standup bit, relating it to Monique's situation which had nothing to do with comedy central
Either these birds didnt even bother watching the video or they are THAT stupid
My father put me on game early and said, READ EVERYTHING before you put pen to paper. You could be selling yourself into slavery because of your name on paper. I 100% read everything, even the fine print.
But Dave dropped a powerful piece. Contracts are legally binding, but putting the power to the people could make the company do what's right.
The messed up thing is that the $50M they were offering him was HIS money! He had made them hundreds of millions off the the show, didn't pay Chappelle, but then tried to get him to sign
The worst part about it is this:
Expenses
$1M - Production Costs
$500k - Paid to Chappelle
$200k - Other Payroll
$1.7M - Capital Expenditure
Income
$150M - Ad Revenue
$50M - Merchandising
$300M - DVD Revenue (Dave gets a share)
$500M - Total Revenue
$498M - Profit
Now what do they do with the money?
First, they declare the DVD Revenue to be a "windfall" and use a clause to cap his earnings from the DVD.
$5M - Dave's Royalties from the DVD after clause (should have been 9 figures).
$493M - Profit goes to Comedy Central (Doesn't Include P&D and Marketing)
Summary
$1.7M - Paid by Comedy Central to do the show
$500M - Generated off the hard work of Dave Chappelle and his team
$5.5M - Paid to Dave, this is the adjusted payment once "windfall" clause was used.
$493M - Pocket by Comedy Central
Comedy Central pockets $493M and has the nerve to tell Dave:
CC: Hey, great job on those first two seasons, check this out we'll give you $50M for all your hard work but you'll owe us two more seasons, a tour, and a 1 hour stand up special.
Dave: Hold up, my show generated $500M off the first two seasons, I had the highest selling DVD of all time, you guys pocket $493M in PROFIT after stiffing me out of my DVD sales, and then want to offer me $50M of my own money but only if I give you two more seasons, a tour, and an hour special..
fukk THAT!
At the last company I worked for I remember sitting around as an underpaid executive knowing that my white colleagues were making as much as 5 to 6 digits more than me. But I took the role because I needed to at the time.
He felt like his lawyer may have possibly been on the same team as those execs. That’s why he compared it to the game of three card monte he witnessed. Lawyer said it was a good deal.
His lawyer didn't explain?
