Hey /asp/ I recently had a 'sports entertainment' company representative reach out and ask to buy one of my songs. I had no idea how much these companies pay for music rights so I delayed my decision.
Does anyone here know how much I should be asking for?

What 'sports entertainment' company are you talking about? If it's WWE you can ask for a decent amout because they actually have some. If it's shit like TNA then you have to ask for very little.
Also share what song they asked you about senpai

The phone call I received came from Stamford, Connecticut. I have never dealt with anyone near this size before.

Stamford, Connecticut means that you are dealing with WWE. They have loadsamoney. Don't know how much you should ask from them tho. You are really asking the wrong board

I was also asked to work closely with a composer named James Ray Hart on another piece.

If you are not lying then call a lawyer that deals with music licensing. Nobody here would be giving you a real figure. A lawyer can tell you if you would receive since licensing and other royalties or a cash buy out.

>a composer named James Ray Hart
Am i being baited here?
>>1259886
Yes. This dude is trying to find out how people make for wrestling themes by pretending to be a composer.
>>1259886
I'm not a wrestling fan, simply a music lover. I just want to know a standard figure I should be aiming for.
>>1259881
I was hoping to avoid lawyers as I'm in a bad financial spot at the minute.

Untrue

Luckily for your broke ass lawyers will either do a free consultation or work out a payment plan. If you are too cheap to use a lawyer then you will not ever make any real money since no one will be able to explain to you if you are being taken advantage of. Either way I expect you to be lying since mouth of the south doesn't do themes anymore.
I hear the standard is about $500-$5000 depending on how popular you are. If they're going to use a song for a PPV even if they don't pay you much they usually credit their musicians pretty well.

Hahahahaha, no. Dude just get a lawyer. If you don't you will only get retards si no music business experience like this pulling figures out of their ass. If they buy you out, don't take a low figure like the retard saying take $500- $5000.
>>1259972
$500-$5000 is the standard for TV and movies usually I would think WWE goes the same way but idk

For a single placement, that is not a buy out rate. It does not factor in streaming, Internet, video games or the fact that the song is being used at live shows in front of thousands.
your best bet is asking this guy.
