Kick appears to be hesitant to pull the trigger on signing top streamer Dr Disrespect because of the massive $50 million USD price tag he set on himself, as negotiations seem to have come to a standstill earlier this month.
The high-flying live-streaming platform admitted Doc is “one of the most entertaining streamers in the business” and that some staff members have “watched him for years,” said Kick head of product Paulie Chianese in an interview with YouTuber Big E. While Chianese knows the Doc is serious about his self-prescribed price tag, it doesn’t change the fact that “$50 million is $50 million,” which sounds like the platform isn’t totally on board just yet.
