His tv deal gives him about 45m a year.
10-12 of his roster costs more than that, considering just punk and Mox get well over 10m alone themselves.
He has well over 100 people on the roster, so they all need to get money elsewhere besides the tv deal, and that's not counting production staff, agents, designers, and all the other people who need to get paid.
Even if you don't factor in the huge costs for the game and RoH, etc... He has to make 100M or more off events and merch, but considering the biggest events he ever did have a reported 1m gate and he only does a few big events a year, plus the viewerbase is small so he can't be moving that much merch, you have to imagine AEW itself can't even pay the salaries of everyone hired, not to mention all the other money it takes to run a show / company.
