Why do Xever and Bradford work for Shredder?

Particularly now, as mutants? What do they get out of the deal? It seems like their whole deal is just, "We promise we're going to get the Turtles this time!" to Shredder, they fail, and then Shredder beats them up a little bit and threatens to basically kill them if they fail again, over and over. Why put themselves through that?

I mean, are they getting paid? If they are (and if they are, we've never been told so), what good does money even do them anymore as mutants? It's not like they can go on a shopping spree at Macy's or anything or even blow it on hookers... so what, then? Did Shredder promise he'd de-mutate them if they play ball? What does he have over them, exactly?

I see no reason for them to serve the Shredder right now, whatsoever, beyond some kind of blind need for revenge on the Turtles for sh*t that wasn't even the Turtles' fault. But even then, what do they need the Shredder for?
