C'mon Jack, don't you know what a protection racket is? How do you think Boba and Fennec keep bringing money in given neither of them collect bounties anymore?
Boba's first visit to the speakeasy he assures Jennifer Beals's character that her business will continue under "his watchful eye": she would continue to pay Boba to "protect" the place, i.e. not let it be smashed up by others nor smash it up himself. The Pykes undermined that racket, showing in spectacular fashion to everybody in Mos Espa that paying protection money to Boba Fett is worthless. They're trying to financially cripple Boba.
