That's just business bruh... Sorry. Dunno how many multi million deals you've seen, but since I work in such an industry... Ya... Just business. From my vantage point in the industry, I can directly see, and have information access on over half a trillion dollars in current deals. This is why the industry gatekeeps, and says "you must have a million dollars to play" but realistically, it's more like 10-100 million. Because educating new people on how this game works, is not worth the time.

@DMAN590 when you've seen your 100th multi million dollar deal close, you can give advice. Otherwise, just observe and take it. Or... Go raise a couple billion dollars yourself, start some companies, and use your strategies.... See how it works.... There's a reason we all eventually use similar strategies. They work....

@david-468 no, it's a normal contract, and you can change every single term. Again, you don't do this and I understand the confusion. The next version of the contract that you would then receive would be called a Redline version. This version would have everything that you don't like crossed out in red with alternative terms put in place. I have literally worked on contracts with the whole contract was Redline. Multiple times. If you don't work with hundreds of millions of dollars as your day job, this is not going to make any sense. He did this, knowing full well, you'll NEVER understand the context, because, the number of people who do this is minimal.

@MrBuns-yi2hk not how this works... You counter. It's not uncommon to get a low ball offer and then the person offers insane money later. We all know the game. Well, rich people. Do anyway. That's the problem. When you ask normal people to review a rich person's game, you bring in things that literally don't matter in this world. There are tons of public cases of people continually asking for more money. Business wars podcast covers this. It's just normal, but not in the normal world. You are applying your normal grasp of the world to a portion of the world that has no rules. Typically speaking, when you get a contract like Crowder does you send back a Redline version, and that's how I know that he is being very disingenuous because I obviously work in this field and it looked at thousands of contract and so when you are presenting a contract and complaining about it and you never even got a red line back that means that you never tried to negotiate. I've seen terms drastically change ALL THE TIME. and contracts amended ALL THE TIME. so it does irritate me a little that Crowder is using your lack of knowledge, knowing you'll never have to read thousands of these contracts and opine on them, to mislead you on how this game works.

Yes... And that is a more valid point. And one you could easily negotiate... Lol. What I hate about this is that Crowder purposely put this to the public knowing full well that 99% of you will ever have dealt with millions of dollars. Hell, I don't even blame crowder. It wasn't until I got my first 10 million to invest 10 years ago, that I got familiar with large deal contracts. And then my current job, we see around a trillion dollars, so I'm far more familiar now. But this industry, it's tiny. It doesn't need too many people. Young 30 year olds can move 10s of millions. Trying to explain this stuff to people who live in reality and not the infinite money world is very hard

@Michael-ee4uz the Intel you get in this space when you throw millions around is insane. The meetings I sat in for the virus of unknown origjn.... You have contacts everywhere. My space is different, and we get even more info, but even still, for them, they can get it.

@david-468 that's going for places that aren't going out of business. If they extreme over pay, it's a short term grift.

100k penalty. So his 50 million contract, if he doesn't do any shows, he's fined 19 million... he was literally complaining about a 31 million-dollar guarantee... which, to be honest there has to be more of a reduction somewhere because there's no way anyone guarantees 30 million dollars.... unless someone screwed up generic contract

@sambo3762 gotcha. Was saying. That's a wild number. He could have negotiated higher, but also can easily do on his own. Really, he just didn't need to start drama. He treats every conservative creator like him, when a lot of these people never would. Make it on their own. Sorry, Brett Cooper NEVER makes it on her own. She was better off signing such a contract. Crowder, he needed to literally rewrite the contract. I've worked on those, but I hate seeing redline contracts where you need your legal team to rewrite their contract. Shouldn't bother me, but whatever. Contracts limit upside as well, so Crowder didn't need one. But a lot of these people actually would benefit because a lot of these people are not crowder. Sometimes contracts work, other times they don't.

@sambo3762 I've seen some pretty full idiot moves though. Doubt I can elaborate obviously

@txaggievet I don't blame them. Not everyone manages million dollar deals. Crowder sounds right to a normal person. If my own job didn't make a million dollars feel like a rounding error, I'd be confused to.
