TNA not paying POP TV to show Impact but not getting paid either

[Emperor Smeat]

Turns out the new tv deal TNA was boasting about wasn't a real tv deal. Going to be worse off financially than they were with Destination America.

2nd time they rejected WGN's offer that probably would have paid them more money but also probably without the goodies DA promised or the spot POP offered.

Originally Posted by Observer Details are not yet available but it is believed Pop TV is not paying for the programming. Paragon Pro Wrestling, which had been on the station, was a time buy. The deal puts TNA is an even worse economic situation because they were making money on the Destination America deal. The company has eliminated almost all contracts for significant amounts of money. Kurt Angle's deal expires in two months and he's already publicly stated he's done with the company, even though Pop and TNA pushed him as a signature star of the brand in a press release. Dixie Carter even tried to push Bill Goldberg's name, and to get Goldberg to wrestle for them will take more money than they pay the rest of the roster combined unless Goldberg is desperate for money, and there's no sign whatsoever that's the case. The only people likely making significant money once Angle's contract expires are the Hardys, Bobby Roode and perhaps Bobby Lashley.

EDIT: Turns out TNA isn't actually paying for the tv spot but they are not getting paid by POP TV either with this deal. POP TV basically got a free show in return for TNA to stay on air. Any money TNA makes is going to be whatever advertisers TNA either has left or are willing to pay during Impact.
