Sponsors use these platforms to get their product out. That's why they pay for advertisement. Same why all sponsors work. All commercials are sponsors paying for ad time on TV and radio, magazines etc...so they can get exposure for their product.
I think you missed my question

What does a URL sponsor (not named Al Capone) get in return?

Beside Al Capone (and formally that nasty ass Exclusiv Vodka), there is no visual advertisement of any other product in a URL video despite having multiple sponsors

Those old Grimetime videos used to have 5-6 ads before a battle. It was clear who there sponsors were.

All their sponsors get promotion for their product. Give me an example of someone who hasn't. I can't think of any.

Are you talking about individual sponsors that don't own businesses? They're either just big fans (Athletes or rappers for the most part) who really want to see a certain battle and don't care about getting their money back, or they're putting up the front money and hoping to get a bigger return on the back end.

But 90% of all sponsors that contribute either are using URL to promote their brand or product somewhere in the videos or they have it worked out where they get a specific percentage of the sales (PPV, door, bar).

Watching Champion live, Snake Eyez vs. Steuy Newton not battling at Initiation anymore. Work commitments for Snake Eyez
Damn,
I feel bad for Snake. You have to do what you have to do though. I know he just got his job, so he most likely still on his probationary period. This is a big opportunity missed though.

Hennyman announced he is shutting his league down and doing media full time:


I think he's doing the right thing. I like his personality & perspective, but his battles are underwhelming.
In hip-hop, media people have a much longer shelf life than the talent anyway.
