He's already liquidated a couple of hundred million dollars to fund it and said he's prepared to go up to 500 million from his own money. 

And one of the owners in the AAF put up 350 mil after the season started and they still bent belly up.  

Plus putting up money, an investment makes sense today.  I thought we were talking if TV ratings suck, if ad dollars fall off, if attendance is as awful as it was in any of these upstart leagues.  It's a whole lot different to invest before results are in as opposed to after the product isn't selling.

AAF had to pay for broadcasting games... became far to expensive and is part of the reason they had to fold. You should read about it. Its interesting. I think a well run league that doesn't have to pay for these things will succeed.

If they had to pay its because no one wanted to pay to produce a dog product that had little chance of doing well.  With so much history saying it would fail.
