He’s doing a poor job of explaining his issues. I haven’t seen the full interview though. Just some of the clips posted.
I think I got his issue from the clips. To me his issue is this:
On his contract he opted to get half his total sum up front and the rest paid monthly for the duration of the contract. It was for 5 battles for like 2 years. Lets say the amount is 250k. So he got 125k up front and was paid 5200 a month for 24 months for the second half. He said the contract only had Daylyt as the first battle and the rest were blank. Shine has been willing to battle this whole time, but Daylyt battle fails because of Day. Jackboy battle fails because of Jackboy.
We now at the end of the contracted 2 year period, and URL are saying he still owes battles, since he only battled once or twice(Real Sikh?). During all this also, RBE was gonna pay Shine to battle Hollow 15k + 15k backend. URL paid 15k to Shine to not do the battle and now they trying to say that 15k was part of the contracted money.
I think some of that is Math clipped it up stupidly and part is Shine got legal stuff going on and cant legally discuss specifics (he said this in one of the clips) and the contract is worded weird. Then Shine said there were handshake deal shyt going on.
Like in the contract Eazy broke down. Eazy said it doesnt say specifically that they exclusive or not to battle at RBE. But has wording like "you cant battle another URL battler in a 3 round 3 minute format on other leagues." Then on the lawyer letter URL posted, it said URL has to ok any non URL battles.
Then just like shine Ez said he had a handshake deal not to battle on RBE.
it sounds like he got all the money of the contract and they didn't get all of the battles. to my knowledge he didn't decline any battles that had motion to them. Him refusing to play ball after the Jakkboy fiasco would make it appear like he didn't hold up his deal.
for what it's worth, i don't think you're wrong; Its just when money seemed to be involved for his situation vs eazy's, he might look a way just by comparison.
Until something comes out that says Shine refused battles, I think he in the right in this situation.
Lets say I sign a contract with a painter to do 5 self portraits and I pay him salary over 2 years. If at the end of the 2 year period I havent been available (too busy or w/e) for the portraits, I gotta charge that to the game. I cant then be like he owe me 5 portraits and he owes me money, it's on me for not getting it done.
Remy/ARP offered to pay w/e Shine "owed" to get him out of the contract. He said he rejected their help because he doesnt "owe" anything.
