Disregard.

I read somewhere once that porn stars don’t even get royalties for their movies. They get paid one time for the film, and it doesn’t matter what future sales are, they never make any more. Can you imagine knowing that millions of people are watching you get railroaded, often in humiliating fashion, over and over and you’ll never see a dime for it? Think it was the fsu broad that said her career earnings were like 80k or something. Brutal. :lol:

Royalties? Let’s look at this logically. Their movies aren’t playing on the big screen across the globe for 3 months before being released to the home crowd on streaming services and it’s not like they’re playing reruns of “Debbie Does Dallas” or “Behind The Green Door” right after Shawshank Redemption 3 times a week on broadcast cable, and for the most part, porn flicks can be viewed for free on the internet at a million different websites. I guess my point is I really doubt that there are any royalties to speak of in that particular industry.

Now, yes. But as I understood the quote from the article, it’s always been that way. So even when they were selling “Debbie” and it became a hit, it was one time pay regardless of how popular it became. Also, don’t some sites charge fees for content? I thought maybe there’d be a stream there also. In any event, it seems like a questionable career path.

Interesting. Of all places, wikipedia says this about Cox:
Cox was kicked off the Gators football team on October 31, 2022, after a series of incidents with coaches and strength and conditioning staff.

Whether his walking papers were justified or not (probably were) this just caused Cox to fall at least 1 round in the draft.

Probably more

Theres 0 chance Cox was gonna be back next season, and this year is already a write off. So we get a guy who by all accounts was a cancer in the locker room off the field and a younger guy gets experience instead? That's a win-win all day. Hopefully Dean is next. There ain't a single player on this team we should stress about losing that isn't a freshman or transfer. The rest of these dudes have had years to prove something and haven't. None of them will be relevant to how the Napier era of Florida football goes. This bump class will be the determining factor.

This has been my point with recruiting. 4 and 5 * is not the only goal. Napier has said there is more to this than football.
