This would be from Mind Geek's own family of tubes, naturally, so the 80/20 split would mean revenue from NON Mind Geek properties - as in: Ruseful uploads a vid to XHamster, XHamster get's 50% then Ruseful gets 80% of the remaining 50% and Mind Geek gets 20% of the remaining 50%?

So Mind Geek would be running the tube submissions and taking a cut? Why would Ruseful give up 20% revenue just so they don't have to deal with the sites? These numbers do not sound all that attractive, to be honest. I must be missing something. LOL Now if Mind Geek was picking up the costs of production, too.....

That was my immediate thought as well, just do an affiliate deal, but with this deal Mindgeek gets 20% of existing revenue as well...at a time when MindGeek/Manwin needs cash badly.....so it makes sense....manwin isnt picking up the tab for production, Manwin has no money to spend so all of these deals require no outlay from Manwin, just leveraging traffic for 20%...the way I see it JT made out well...In addition to the revenue he gets his pirated content removed from 90% of the tubesites....
