The money they make off Youtube clicks is pennies. Real money would be made from traffic to urltv.tv, their own site. PPV also would definitely bring in more money than youtube.

Only reason they wouldn't do PPV again is because of laziness. And ya we all know that's totally uncharacteristic of Smack and URL...... LOL

:sas2:

Don't act like it's part of their plan or something. It's them being dumb.... again.

Rex vs Danny has to be one of the most intriguing battles in a while. Just because, you really can't call that one and how it'll end up. Rex is coming off a death.. not a loss.. he DIED on that stage against Clips. He got killed by a Mom line. A mom line, that wasn't a gun bar, that was a mom line.

And obviously Danny Myers is Danny Myers. He will have to write for the NY crowd, which I'm not sure he knows how to do. His best ones have been small stages. Both guys have a lot to prove, in my opinion. If Rex comes half ass, which I'm like 99% sure he will, then he leaves it open for Danny to hit three or four really hard hitting lines and take it. Cuz lets face it, Rex is gonna do his normal shtick. Atleast that's what I'm thinking. I wish he would write something for this and really give an effort but his style is pretty stale. That's why I wish it was on PPV, because PPV reaches everybody and allows a more natural opinion of the battle to happen. If there's no PPV, we're just gonna hear second hand this and that stuff. PPV is the way to go 100%.

It doesn't matter if it gets bootlegged, there's no official DVD release or anything lol where else would Smack be making that money? Youtube? He makes nothing off that, look up what companies make off youtube. It's pennies. Smack is making the majority of his money off the live gate. PPV would be additional money coming in. He's lazy and he don't want it. I mean, to play devils advocate, it does add some value to being at the event I guess. If you're not gonna see the battles for fukkin months because it takes them so long to edit them, it makes the people want to be at the event. But for people everywhere else in the world who weren't gonna go anyway? Trust me, Smack's a dummy, he's losing money not doing PPV. It's not the other way around.

Ya true I can fukk with that opinion too. I'm not sweating it either way. I like the slow trickle of battles. Watch one with the homies one week, couple weeks later watch another one after work if I don't got nothin to do.

doubt it
if he tried it and felt he didnt wanna do it again there must be a financial reason behind it
Cant see him being just lazy

I'm not sure how it happened, but DA YOUNG OG trolled his way into becoming by far the most anticipated battler in this shyt for me personally. This little gremlin nikka got classic unorthodox bars even during conversation. I've never hit rewind on a promo snippet so many times in my life.
:wow:
