215 Uptown!
Yall have to remember. Hitman vs Suge was booked TWICE. Once with GW and once on Hitman's own event. URL blocked the battle twice.

Obviously this is a URL battle. But hitman clearly will take the battle elsewhere. Smack wont let him.

Every event?

Like traffic and born legacy 2 also?

I doubt that.

On NOME and SM I could see smack walking away with 15-20k. Smaller events/ venues probably half that

Just my guess, who knows what the actual numbers are

Nick Cannon has been to Hitman's crib. You really think Holla can't make one phone call and get a Wild'N Out event booked with all legit battles, headlined by him and Suge?

Of course battle-wise it would be a Total Slaughter/Teddy Grizzly situation where the platform would almost make the battles not count, but my point is Hitman CAN make this battle happen. He just knows it will be better on URL, but URL ain't fukking with him like that. Tough place to be in.

Unbias had the best idea which is take something like 20 and PPV which is how Lux battles over there, Hitman was game for it. They just need URL to come around on booking him.
Don't be so sure about that.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Well for the smaller events the venue is way cheaper and the artists are paid way less. They're probably netting about 30K on those events

Yup. We don't know the actual numbers, but is it fair to say the biggest name on a high profile card walks away with more money in their pocket from the event than Smack or Beasley does individually?
I know Smack and them have to split the pie several different ways, but that's gotta sting. Their slice of the pie is getting smaller and smaller.

The problem is that the venues aren't getting bigger, so in order for smack and staff to pay battlers more they have to cut their own money

If the venues were getting bigger the battlers could be paid more and URL staff could still make the money theyre used to getting
