See, I really don't like when nikkas say shyt like this. Seriously...it's a crab-barrel haters opinion that forces me to respond.

Smack has been busting his ass to make battles mainstream for over a damn decade, when it was nowhere close to being profitable. All of the battles that you see pre-2008 were free battles...you could just show up to watch. When I went to see Hitman vs. Ars live (which was relatively recent) I think I paid 15 or 20 bux. That's when Smack and Beasley were the hosts, the DJs, the security, the soundmen, and the door collectors. They did EVERYTHING possible to throw a half-decent event. I'm sure that throughout his career, Smack thought about hanging this rap battle promoter shyt up, because it was economically non-viable. He was putting out free battles on low-budget DVDs out the back of his car.

To me, he only did it because of the culture.

Fair enough

Tdot.. till the death of me
it's worth it to them for it to be a full-time business, so I would say it's definitely profitable.

This is a complete guess at this point, but I think their plan is to build URL's brand into a mainstream brand, and then sell it off to the highest network. That would be my plan, at least. Then I would start another "URL" like league, and build that up and repeat the process.

Yup, the way those guys are.. I dont see them putting this much work into something without it being "worth it" to them. Every single thing they do they make sure it's profitable. In assuming it's in the 100k range

You don't have a clue how hard it is to run a successful event let alone multiple events year after year after year. Just enjoy the free content and chill on spewing your ignorance
