Bannerjee and De Noia disagreed as to what mattered most about Chippendales; Bannerjee prioritized good-looking male models over production quality, while De Noia thought the show itself is what mattered most, as ABC News goes on to note. To work things out, Bannerjee and De Noia split Chippendales: Bannerjee would retain the Chippendales clubs while De Noia would take control of the touring show. Bannerjee gambled, and as ABC News writes, he ended up losing in the bargain. 

The Chippendales touring show proved much more profitable than the clubs, and also around that same time, competition sprang up for Banerjee in the market for male exotic dancers, as a U.K.-based franchise of clubs called Adonis expanded in the U.S. Realizing he'd made the wrong choice, Bannerjee wanted the touring rights to Chippendales back — Later on, Bannerjee also threatened Adonis employees, and there were also arson attacks alleged at Chippendales competitor locations destroyed by fire, per the Los Angeles Times. To neutralize De Noia and take back the touring income he hired hitman Ray Colon to kill him, and for a while, it seemed like Bannerjee might get away with it.
