No he didn't. They bankrupt themselves. That's their fault. why are you mad at Lux for what he asked for? If they didn't have the money to pay him, then they shouldn't have paid him.
Lux has to look out for himself and his family. UW has to look out for themselves. If they didn't have the means to pay Lux then don't pay him. You can't pay someone something and then get mad at them for what they asked for. If you didn't want to pay it then don't do it.
That's like me asking someone for 20 dollars and they only have 15, but ask someone else for 5 to give me the 20 then get mad at me for asking them. If you didn't have it then just tell me no. Don't give me the money then get mad at me. How does that make sense? lol
It's a free market, I get that. UW took a calculated business risk and lost on it. Understood.
But that doesn't mean Lux isn't
greedy.
Hollow would have taken the battle for a lot less, we all know that. But with Lux's unrealistic asking price it was only fair if Hollow got paid the same amount or close.
UW attempted to book the biggest battle of all time and succeed, only to totally go belly up as a result. They just couldn't recoup after Lux got his money.
Now if Lux was more willing to play ball and not squeezing the leagues for every penny that he can, we would have a lot more growth in the culture of battle rap. The likes of a UW would be emerging to be serious competitors with URL. Better cards, better venues, bette production values, and the fans win.
Instead Lux would rather get a really big check every so often as a one off and then go sell mixtapes until the next money grab opportunity comes along. Not saying he doesn't have the right to do it. But it's greed, just call it what it is
