26k, doubt he'll ever beat that....

Just wondering about the finances here, and profit/loss on the show; if Dallas got 24K, presumably Pryce got parity or more, and there's the rest of the bill to pay for. If Sky gave the promoter 80k, I wonder what the profit margin was. Just curious - its not really any of my business...

If the live gate brought in 25 to 40k (not sure of the crowd, but 800 tickets @ £40 average price would gross 32k), then maybe the total revenue is around 120 grand, and the promoter's overheads need to be factored into the equation too, we can't expect them to just try to break even

Tough to say, you would even consider making a loss though if not being able to put on a show jeopardises your long term deal with sky
