The PPV wans't available in some areas

They still had to pay:
Insurance
Maintenance (to put up the cage, take it down, clean, etc)
Lawyers for the contracts and Athletic commision issues
The announcers
Advertising
The productions crews
The refs, judges, Athletic Commission fees, etc
The people running the day to day operations (booking fighters, getting the show on PPV, running the website, doing promotions, people to answer the phones, etc
yea but look at how much they paid some of the fighters. how much do you think they really paid the background people
