That's awfully high, Jim. I would imagine you could put on a decent-sized show (500-seat auditorium, 20-man roster) for under 50 grand. And that's a really generous (as in high) estimate. Unless you're trying to launch something ROH-sized, you won't need $2.5m.

But, you'll definitely want a day job to help finance it. The only promoter I know also runs a construction company. He started UCW with the money he made as a contractor, and most of the crew (ring, sound, lighting) are people from his other company.
