I think they sank that ship honestly. The odds of anyone ever coming up with a single event people (in similar numbers) would ever pay $60 to watch again feel slim to me. I can't entirely blame them if ESPN (or whomever) is dumb enough to pay crazy money for it, but I don't think it does anything except hurt the product/company in every way except the bottom line.
