Rich Paul sued by NBA player Nerlens Noel over lost $58 million

[T’Challa’s Heir]

I never even said that Disney was going to lose the lawsuit?

What I said was that they're going to try and negotiate an agreement with her to keep matters private, while Scarlett Jo wants matters to be handled publicly as a lot of people are rooting for her against The Mouse over how they've operated and treated people over the years.

Disney knows that they're going to have to pay out bread to rectify the situation. It's just a matter of the amount and how much they can keep matters private.

Scar Jo wants this handled publicly cuz her case is weak. She’s bytching that Disney fukked her out of back end profits because they released it on Premiere Access at the same time, and that had they not done that, she would have gotten 50 million instead of the 20+ million they paid her. Her argument assumes that movie would have hit a billion with an exclusive theatrical release.

Disney stomps her the fukk out because the contract called for a wide release (1500+ theaters), which Disney honored by putting it on 6000+ screens. Her Attorney’s are trying to make the word wide mean exclusive. Disney also did right by here by just counting the Disney+ money as part of the box office gross and giving her back end from that too. Given the circumstances, I’m not sure what else she wanted Disney to do. And she damn sure can’t prove she’d have gotten anywhere near the $50 million she’s asking for, even under ideal circumstances.

Obviously she knew that she wasn't going to get the $50 million beforehand, which is why she went to talk them about it prior to renegotiate. They ignored her hence the reason for the lawsuit. She did her part in trying to prevent the situation, but they didn't do theirs.

Let's not sit here and pretend like she isn't the only actor/actress that got screwed over by the theater/VOD dual release. WB gave Denzel his $40 million for the film while Gadot and WW Director got $10 million to rectify the situation. They also spent millions renegotiating other salaries as well to account for the dual release schedule.

It's doing right for the people that work for you and good business, which is something that they should have done. They should have renegotiated the terms of the deal like other movie companies have been doing because of the pandemic.

Disney was under absolutely no obligation to negotiate. It honored the contract as written. She filed what’s basically a frivolous lawsuit hoping public pressure would make Disney fold. Her lawyer ignoring the terms of the contract doesn’t make it not a non-valid contract.

This situation is also not analogous to the HBO max situation, where the titles were dropped for free on a steaming service and weren’t hidden behind a $30 paywall.

Even if they were under no obligation to re-negotiate, that's not how you do business breh

You at least put for the effort to listen to what the other party is saying even if you don't plan on doing anything about their complaints. Let's not sit here and act like she was just any other actor in a Marvel Film. She was part of the OG cast and they could have done was give her the respect to at least entertain the conversation and what she had to say.

 

[Flight]

Some enemy of Klutch put Nerlens up to this. Breh should have somebody in his corner telling him this is a waster of time and money.

Nerlens is with CAA. There are a lot of ties to the Knicks with CAA.

It’s been bubbling for a bit but it’s a Klutch vs CAA thing going on.

don’t move the goal posts. I was talking strictly legal. You can make the moral/business argument all you want. I was only interested in the legal aspect of it.

The moral argument is tied to the legal aspect though in this situation

The legal argument and side of things could have potentially been avoided if they had just taken the meeting beforehand and listened to what her and her people had to say. There is no reason for this lawsuit to even exist nor future business dealings being ruined between the two parties had Disney just entertained the conversation and meeting in first place.

Give up. Son will argue forever.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Imagine being a grown man and turning down 70 million dollars because another man told you he can get you 100 based off of nothing lmao.

Rich paul must've talked some MAJOR game to him

 

[MJ Truth]

Breh, Rich has been fukking up. Montrezl turned down an 80mill/4 yrs contract from the Hornets to play for the Lakers. He is also represented by Rich Paul. His bad decision didnt get the same amount of attention as Schroeder for dropping the bag. Montrezl value tanked after a disappointed season with the Lakers. He lost a lot of money fukking Rich with Paul.

How is that on Rich Paul though? He works for Harrell, not the other way around. It would only be an issue if Paul didn’t actually present him all of the offers.

 

[McPiff]

nikkas look happy they might get a real opportunity to shyt on rich paul

@Squirrel from Meteor Man its your time to shine my brother

 

[nieman]

In your hypothetical situation yes you are correct. But I was just responding to the information present such as Noels talent compared to other players and the 70/4 deal.... Rich saying he can get 100mil is just speculation and creating doubt and fear of missing out based on lack of experience and knowledge that Noel has in my opinion

If it was said that he had other offers that his first agent didnt tell him about then your example above is correct and the first agent didnt do his job correct. But I didnt read that...Maybe I am more risk adverse but if im offered 70mil im not taking 5-7M for one year to prove myself and risk shyt when 70M is on the table infront of me im gonna take the 70M and be set up for life then and there.

Players do to all of the time though. It's the reason they opt out early, don't resign, sign a 1-yr. They are told who has what and who is willing to give them said amount the next season, if they can just wait. Some don't wait, some do.

 

[homiedontplaydat]

I dont give a damn what ur agent tells u, you don't turn down a guaranteed 70 million if ur a player like Noel

Hell even if he didn't like the Mavs or Cuban, take the fukking money and then act a ass, if they trade u the money is going with u

Jeanie needs to stop letting Rich sit courtside at Staples
