In this day and age of piracy and every one of these girls being fucked in the ass in full scenes available for free everywhere...I simply wouldn't see paying a girl more money than she would be worth to my business.
Remember...everything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Right now content is so devalued from all this piracy and full member site rips that it would be a tough call to go paying 2 thousand dollars for a boy/girl scene.
Hell, it's almost to the point where you lose money if you pay them ONE dollar. 
Not saying the girls aren't worth it in the talent and looks dept. I'm just saying are they worth it in the end result when the sales are added up, or would you make more profit using a super hot girl who doesn't charge as much.
EDIT: In other words it has nothing to do with being able to "afford" the girl. I can afford to rent a mansion for a few thousand dollars a day to shoot CM in. It would look GREAT! And everybody would slap me on the back and say how good it is. But it wouldn't make ONE more sale for me. Not one. So being able to afford something and then having it make business sense is two different things |
yes it's about a clear understanding of your goals and objectives.... my objective is to profit from content production. lower production cost = higher net profit.
I shoot who I am told to shoot regardless of 'hotness' I am NOT a fan, I am a producer. when the budget crosses my 'expected net profit threshold' I walk away. there are many many many models available to shoot.
if an agent can get a producer to 'pay out the ass' for a shoot, more power to them.
