MJF coming off the indies, with no name and no value outside of what they intended to build with him, wasnt making any real money. his first contract lets says its 80k. thats the first garunteed money he's ever had. so he gets over. they bump him to 250k. if he's actually smart he should be able to see the upward momentum. if plays his cards right and becomes truly indispensable then in time, say 5 years after they with his key role helping to elevate the product, he's holding down real money he can start putting away.
he's an important act for the quality of the show. but if we're talking return on investment he's got some ways to go to be pulling money like former wwfs guys are pulling. and for obvious reasons.
now he puts the office in a real tough spot. they cant pay the entire roster 5mill/a. the money isnt there to spend what theyre spending as is. this company is losing money afterall. so if they pay MJF they have nothing to barter with when contracts come up with the rest of the card.
he's made a scenario where they basically cant give him what he wants. it will cost them way too much.
