Why should Hitman have to be flexible. Business is business.

And what does wylin out have to do with the Harry O situation :why:

Are you in Hitman's family?

The reason he doesn't give a fukk about doing "funny" business is because he's getting paid from Wild N Out.

Hitman epitomises the whole idea of charging less for other leagues (aka white folks) to book you, then overcharge the URL for the same booking. That's some bytch shyt right there.

He & Rex can get away with deading folks on their bread (7500 and 12000 mind you) but Danja should've got touched for deading somebody off of 500 dollars?

Priorities indeed.

This is why these guys need management. B Magic needed a businessman to play hardball with these leagues and only give him battles that paid right and built his profile. He just burned himself out for the paper. This is sad.

Come to think of it, Con would be a really good guy for him to consult with.

First thing is first B Magic has to officially take a step back and I mean right now. This is "Kobe should have retired midseason" bad.
To be fair we don't know homie's financial situation. From the looks of it B. Magic probably ain't in a position to try to play hard ball with anybody or to try to play the long game. :yeshrug:

It makes logical sense though, aside from the whole white folks thing.

Let's say you're performing for a brand that is going to make $100,000 off of an event, you might charge them $10,000. But then you're going to perform at an event that is going to earn $500,000 off of the event, you'd charge them $50,000. Or whatever numbers you wanna throw in there. It's not like Hitman Holla is the only person that does this; I used to promote parties and seminars, and most people are like this. Some guys will charge a flat fee period, but most people will negotiate up and down depending on how much money the promoter is going to earn from the event.

I'm going throw it out there. Because has been bothering all day. They set that shyt up so Homi could win. BIASISM (not a word) to fullest. Bullshyt. If B Magic would've beat Bagz (which I'm oretty sure he did because Bagz is trash), there would've been no suspense for the last battle, which was Danny vs Swave. Hell there would've been no point keeping the event going after that (Bloque 3-1) since this really a team thing rather than separate random match ups. I mean the flyer tells you what's going to happen lol. Look at the order of the battles. Mackk vs Ooops, everybody predicted Mackk to win (which he did lololol) Homi up 1-0. Then Xcel vs Kannon and Murda vs JC. Lol who the hell thought Kannon and JC were losing those battles. They put the battles in order based on how clear they would be. Bloque up 2-1 kinda contradicting with the atmosphere, causing tension. Fans are angry as fukk ready bring glass bottles upside one anothers heads. Then we have Magic vs Bagz. Off ALL battles, THIS was the only one that had no judges. They left it in the hands of the crowd. If yall go to Cummy Bags insta theres a clip of the ruthless a crowd chanting 3-0 in favor Bags. Shot sounded super biased for real. Sounded like a cheap way to get Homi back in the game. So now it's 2-2 Homi shyt just got real. Now we have Swave vs Danny, the tie breaker. Of course the judges are going to vote for the OG. I'm pretty sure the judges had it made up in their minds before event went down they were voting for Swave. Plus they can't vote against Homi again they already did that twice. They used there only two "vote for Bloque" tokens. SMH ARP made himself look super lame with that shyt. I can understand if the 5th battle went without judges, but the 4th???? Nah ain't nobody stupid. Plus that crowd was 89.56% Homi. Ain't nobody stupid nikkas are catching on real fast.

I agree with this for the most part but still, we haven't even seen the footage yet of any of these battles. It's not like Myers can't lose. He's hard to beat but he is still beatable. Swave needed the win but it's not like he hasnt had moments where he had shined on nikkas in his battles. But if what you're sayin is the case, RBE will have to rethink having the crowd judge some of this.

Right. Hitman found out what they were making and based it off that. I think that's reasonable because he peeped the price of admission and how much was made at the end of the night. I'm not mad at him for doing that. The white folks make no sense because I'm pretty sure he charged U Dubb less like he may have done KOTD and Don't Flop.

I still think this situation with Harry involved that paid him earlier needs to be cleared up. It sounds after Harry paid Hitman, Smack URL told Harry, nah man, fukk with us again.

except probably doesn't take into account who and what ever URL has to pay other things before getting their cut. This is the same dude who thought URL made a million off the ppv.

There's nothing to rethink. Everyone in Team Homi & Writers Bloque that has done an interview felt like Money Bagz beat B. Magic. Dude typed all that shyt for nothing, judging from the recaps & tweets there are two battles where the decision will be debated when the footage drops, that battle is not one of them. Those two battles are JC & J. Murda, and Swave & Danny. Some people felt like J. Murda got jerked. Some people felt like Danny got jerked. Lyt Saber just typed a whole essay strictly off of his emotions & biases. That is why he's a low tier novelty poster.

lol I don't even want to divide everybody up like that, but Lyt Saber is on that short list of people you know not to take seriously most of the time. He's harmless though, so I don't have a problem with him. In fact, I agree with some of his opinions, and find his shtick funny at times.
