Is Verb wrong tho? :stopitslime:

He isn't wrong, but it has got to the point where it's beyond overkill.

Besides, who besides the URL would give Lux the type of look that makes him look good? Only other platform is KOTD, but there isn't anything over there that makes sense for him nor can they afford him.

Imagine if he would have accepted the battle on Gorilla Warfare.

They would have been battling @ 2am in front of a restless crowd. It would have turned out to be a bad battle. Everyone would have said he's washed up. He did right passing on that bullshyt.

I don't even think Verb was that bad against Surf, but the atmosphere & Surf's awful performance just have Verb lumped into the battle as trash too.

Why do u think it would've been Gorilla Warfare idk but hilarious nonetheless

You don't know the story?

The first battle Gorilla Warfare was trying to make for the Crown 2 was Lux vs Verb. That was the #1 battle Gracie wanted to make. They offered Lux a lot of money but he declined. They reached out to Surf & that's how Verb/Surf came about.

In a recent interview that was just posted, Verb said Lux was offered more money to battle him on Gorilla Warfare then what he is actually getting paid to battle him on that URL mega card next year.

Guys like Lux, Mook, & Hollow carry themselves as a brand & look at the overall picture.

So it's like, should I battle Verb on GW solely for the money? Or should I battle him on the URL, have a mixtape ready, a hot 97 interview, bigger card, etc.

The negotiations with GW where very real, but in the end, Lux passed on it.

What exactly are you arguing here?

No respected battle rapper like Mook, Lux, or Hollow are gonna battle on a low tier league like GW.

I really don't give a fukk about Lux having nothing but home games. This is a business. If he's presented with the right opportunity, he would battle on the road.
