Just throwing this in here since it kinda fits:

-According to Meltzer it's costing them $600,000 to do each TV taping. PWInsider is reporting they had 3,200 tickets sold for the last show.
Unless they were charging $188 per ticket or making a fortune off concessions, they're losing an assload of money.

But with them losing 1.2 million a month in extra expenses (not sure how much of it's extra, but roll with it), it's hard to blame Hulkster's 30k as a problem. Still no reason to keep him.
Surely they aren't saving nearly enough by cutting the guys they did.

I sincerely doubt they are making most of their money on live gates or concessions. The bulk would come from the sponsors who air their ads during the program, no?

They're talking about how going on the road has lost so much money, so meant "new revenue vs new expenses".

Your point's valid though. Heard a while back that TNA wasn't pushing their PPV's because the Spike deal got them so much more revenue, so they always treated Impact as more important. Can't find the revenue on their TV deal (not like it's our business anyway) so can't add it on.
