128 wrestlers for 3-4 years, let's say it's 3 years for ease.
Some are paid 7-figures, most are paid 6-figures, let's low-ball an average of $500k.
128 wrestlers x $500k salary x 3 years = $192m.
Then there's the video game which already drank $40m when rumour had it that another $40m was gonna be injected into the project. $192m + $40m + $40m = $252m.
In talent and game alone, that's half the estimation right there.
But wait, there's more.
TV production costs a shitload of money.
Keith Mitchell ain't cheap, he's getting 6 figures too. Many on his crew may breach 6 figures as well.
Then there's the equipment, which is a massive upfront investment. Easily $5m in cameras, production van, storage media plus archive, and perhaps another $1m in social media presence plus office people is another $2m every year...
I think a total expenditure of $300m is very reasonable to assume.
Revenue will offset that of course, TV deals and Fite deals and live ticket sales...
Has Tony Khan made a profit at this time, of three years of investments? Nope.
