if youre the one asking him for work hes the one callin the shots. Youre looking at his work, and chose him, just pay the guy. You came to HIM for work based on his TALENT, if you value that talent, just pay the guy.
i know when i schedule, its 'who is paying that comes first.'
sounds fair, you already said he doesnt know who YOU are.
Why is he supposed to take a chance?
Id say he's playing the game smart. Give him a break, he doesnt know you or your rep, or the people you sent him to, think about it, you sent him to a bunch of adult references, that doesnt mean shit to him, he doesnt have any idea who or what they are worth.
id say just give the guy 50% man..
