TMZ paid quite a bit of money to obtain the video of Draymond Green punching teammate Jordan Poole.
On Friday morning, TMZ leaked the video of an altercation that went down this week at Warriors practice.
In the video, Green was seen punching Poole in the face after Poole shoved him while the two were having a heated exchange.
According to former TMZ staffer Van Lathan, the outlet likely paid 100k for the video.
I’d guess between 50-100k. If the seller was smart it would be 100. If it’s some dumb idiot they got talked into 50. It’s easily worth 150. Not sure what the finances over there are looking like rn tho. https://t.co/bXQQSoGOGU
