ALL-IN / Can Cody Rhodes draw 10 people?

That's the revenue, not the profit. I've never booked an arena myself, but quick research tells me that it's probably about $20,000 to book it, at least, with 15% of the gate, at least, going to the venue. That takes it down to $392,250. That's before paying talent, splitting with ROH and New Japan and whoever else fronted some costs for the show, and then splitting it among themselves. And I don't know how American tax cuts into that.

It's still a good haul, don't get me wrong. And then there are merchandise sales and streaming things to work out, but they didn't "make" that much money. That's what they have on the gate. It doesn't factor in any expenses.
