$7500 this is unbelievable to say the least . Next thing you know this greedy fuck will demand 3-5k appearance fees everytime he competes in an MLE event

Joey makes as much or more than some top 5 eaters earn in a year just by showing up for a fair. Nice. Huge LOL!

If you mention names of ranked eaters in MLE from 1-50 with the exception of chestnut to the average joe off the street, they will have no idea what the fuck you are talking about . That proves one thing they have about as much relevance to society as a bag of feces

7:24 – what do you mean greedy? It’s called business. If promoters or organizers are willing to lay him that money just for showing up, why should he not take it? It’s his job. You know what asshat, go to work tomorrow if you even have a job and tell them ti give you a pay cut. Otherwise you’re greedy. Moron.
