The bigger names are trying to cash in based on last years pay days. Remember when all the emcees were pissed after finding out Mook got 20 etc and many emcees in the 8-10k range.
Most of the "big names" are asking at least 10k each. And rumor is that the battler everyone wants to see most is asking for 40k.
His opponent would want no less than 15.
Do the math.
Main event: 55K
5 other battles averaging 10K per emcee: 100K.
You're lookin at 155K to put on 6 battles from names that ain't been preparing and putting out great battles.
So, the money behind URL said, "nope."
They aren't gonna pay 155K for rappers to rap in the first place. But especially, when they ain't putting on great performances.
So... U end up with a more affordable card with hungry emcees who will try to solidify their names.
This is almost a strike. And the replacements are in.
If they put on... The big names gonna have problems. If not... Everyone gonna have problems.
Lets see how it turns out.
On paper, these are very consistent emcees who will handle business. And prev SM cards were 2500 max cap. This year, 800.
And that's another reason the big names aren't there. U can't afford 155K card with 800 capacity. $100 per ticket leaves u at -75k from the jump.
