I don't think it's so much their attendance that was killing them as it was their spending.

The prize money payout on that show (which was booked by the AI before I took over & started scrambling their roster) was just over $97,000 for five fights. By comparison, this month's XCC prize money was just over $50,000 for seven fights. And there's still a less profitable TV show still to run for Sigma this month.

In the last six months when they've run two shows they've lost over $250k each time and between $90k & $100k twice with one show, and $50k in another one show month. That's way more on average than I'm losing each month on WEFF & XCC combined even with stripping away a lot of their most successful/best fighters.
