Only someone prophetically stupid would agree to represent someone who is known for bailing on paying his debts.

The only reason someone would agree to it at this point is purely for publicity. Our culture has somehow tied self-worth to how much celebrity one has. It's why "influencers" are a thing when they offer nothing of value to society. It's also why you see so many videos on social media of someone just pointing at some text and playing a video they didn't make. Or the people lip syncing... It's all one big fucking talent show and no one wants you to look behind the curtain.
