If Amy Schumer can get 10 million or whatever Netflix gotta match. IMO they both garbage but one has an Oscar.
And the one with an Oscar has done nothing of note since winning it.

This is entertainment, it's all about advertising. They have an "Oscar winning actress returning to comedy for her big Netflix debut"

The tagline writes itself. Just like they do with shytty movies "Oscar winner xxxx and xxx (another random actor) XXXX (name of movie)"
If that's all they needed, wouldn't Monique be selling out arenas then?

Bunch of cats get talked about in movie trailers as "Oscar Winner X" doesn't mean they're getting paid top dollar to be in that shyt.

Adrien Brody, Jennifer Connelly, and Chris Cooper ain't getting top dollar for movies.

I'm not saying more or less people would tune in but if they are paying 10 mil for Schumer and people still ain't tuning in then she can be a one and done.
The show they used for Amy's special was part of her world wide tour where she was selling out arenas. She was the first woman comic to sell out MSG. In the 2-3 years before the Netflix special she had a popular show on Comedy Central, a best selling book, starred in a movie that made $150M, she was everywhere. She's trash, but she was popular as fukk. That's why she got paid.

I don’t get why the thread is obsessed w/ Amy Schumer...

Because Monique is obsessed with Amy Schumer. That's what started the whole thing, her pocket watching Amy Schumer

Oh and Kaepernick opted out of his contract because the 49ers let him know that they were going to cut him if he didn't.

Do white men or women like Monique?

Netflix trying to make money breh.. If monique couldn't draw a white audience, Netflix wasn't gonna splurge..

Its not hard to understand..
Cats keep pointing to an Oscar win for a depressing ass movie from 10 years ago as to why she should get top dollar for a comedy special on Netflix..

And its its nothing personal.. Once people understand business and how it operates, it will make sense
Katt Williams already said that Netflix doesn't give a fukk about whose funny or not, they care about money. The comedienne that's popular as fukk in various forms of media that has a recent worldwide tour that sold out arenas is going to get much more money than someone doing small ass shows.

Even if a bunch of people watched Schumer to hate watch and talk shyt about, that's a W for Netflix.

I posted in another thread about this, Wanda Sykes wasn't happy with her Netflix offer, went somewhere else, worked on her shyt, made moves as a writer/actor on other shows and got a better offer from Netflix that she was happy with and took. She said the shyt wasn't personal, it was business.

People just be emotional...

How can people get mad at Netflix on how they spend their money? You cant say they're racist because they've given black men and women a bag.

Wanda didn't fall on the ground and cry when she didn't get offered what she thought she was worth.. She kept it moving and kept grinding, now she making moves again..

Its not hard out here. you just have to check your feelings at the door and get real tactical..

Go to a day party...have a drink...there’s other ways to “make a living” w/ football outside the NFL. They’re not as high profile or as lucrative. Go experience life before it’s too late lil bro.

:smugbiden:
Nah, not at a professional level.

Same way Monique has spent a lifetime building her resume and feels she should be able to cash it in.

Kap feels the same.

Difference is Kap only has one way to do that.

Monique has multiple avenues.

And beyond that, she got an offer. Kap still has not gotten one.

Mo’nique should fund a stand up special on her own called “Fyck Netflix” and start it off with a set about this whole situation etc. and then use that as a transition into saying “Fyck” other entities (White media, men, etc.)

fund it herself over a few venues, pay a videographer team to shoot and edit it,

promote it herself on IG, radio/blogs (Breakfast club) etc.


She has enough clout and money to do it on her own. If there truly is a demand for her content, she could sell her special to Hulu, Amazon, Apple, Starz, etc.

I don’t understand how celebrities who have the money and fame don’t leverage it and get mad when someone won’t hand them a check :snoop:

the issue must be one of two: she KNOWS she’s not that in demand for comedy anymore and wants someone to over pay her or she’s not industrious enough to do it herself. :yeshrug:

The NFL effectively has a monopoly on football talent.

You good at football, you trained at it your whole life, only way to make a living is to go through the NFL.

Monique has endless platforms to promote her comedy.

Also, Netflix didn’t even shut her out. They gave her an offer they thought made sense for them from a financial point of view.

Totally different situations. OP is dumb as fukk.


I do wish the nfl had legit competition. He’ll I remember back in the late 90s when wcw and wwf would go at it. The competition brought out the best for the fans.

Right, if there was a competing league Kap and his fans could actually say “fukk the NFL”

As it stands, we’re all stuck
