>>10364341Probably seeking more guaranteed money AND a longer deal. AEW can't continue burning 5-10 million a year forever, it has to switch up some time to a more Pro Sports model. The Buccaneers or Raptors aren't going to sign a guy to a 3 year deal and then leave him on the bench/at home for 2 1/2 years if they aren't using him. Fucker is getting cut, simple as.
Bucks probably want 5-6 year deals with 100% guaranteed money and incentives/escalators so if AEW shuts down or gets sold off to venture capitalists they can't immediately be cut -- and if they are cut, they'll get 100% of remaining money while immediately getting to sign with WWW, NJPW or whatever other company.
They're smart to hold out, look how fucking dumb the average tyranny AEW fan is - they know nothing about contract law.
