The 'deals' 'paying' them now are all made up projections of the what could (but anyone in on the trickery knows wont never) be the value of estimated hours of viewership and then somehow usuriously calculating the value of that to advertising; again a thing with no empirical measurement to it either in the present of future.
So all 'records' from the Fed are shadows based on illusions, not unique in this day and age, but the case none the less.
And even maybe one concrete thing claimed to be a profit is the event gates and surrounding sales. These net profit in no larger percent than in the past if they barely break even in the first place. But then the key to seeing through this is realizing the money here is not grossed against the background operating costs outside the isolate day/weekend/ or trip itself, i.e. the yearly and pervasive costs of salaries/legal/facilities/ maybe not individual travel, but also overhead, it goes on. So no, t-shirt sales is not covering all that, while neither is the media rights contracts over the sum total time; everything is smokescreen for the debt running on until a way later next payment/infusion with money that does not exist is 'made' to keep kicking things down the road avoiding the as stands reckoning.
But hey, most others slop is the same way, why not join them in the mud they say.
