I'd bet the house that Lux under no circumstances would battle Verb in St Louis. No amount of money. You mean to tell me that it wouldn't be a packed house if Lux battles Verb
Don't y'all find it odd that Lux has never taken an away game?
What's the point of having this discussion if you want to ignore all the facts and just go off of your feelings?
Holla v Verb was a relatively small event, and that is the biggest St. Louis battle of all time. It was inside Klub Klymaxx at "The Ambassador" in St. Louis, from looking at the website they throw birthday parties and shyt in there, costs $1000 or less to rent that room.
Hitman v Rex.... another small venue, you can just look at the video and tell.
I know for sure that Arsonal v Verb had a really poor turnout, and they are both pretty big names in battle rap.
They have several million view battle rappers out thurr .... but the events aren't that big because the city of St. Louis don't really curr...
Weren't the Rap Battle America guys based out of St. Louis? What happened to them? Oh that's right, they were trying to throw battle events in St. Louis & weren't making any money so they deaded that.
Why do you think Aye Verb keeps coming back to NY? He's done so many events in St. Louis, so he knows the business. But the reality is that there is more money for him battling in NYC than there is in St. Louis.
If the city doesn't come out in droves to see Verb and Holla battle, why do you think they give a damn about Loaded Lux?
Lux only has a handful of battles to begin with so him not traveling like these check chasers isn't surprising. If these other cities had a big enough battle culture with venues that could secure enough ticket sales to pay his fee you might have a point. Not to mention URL couldn't work with their camera and audio people if they left NY.
