If that's only to make 5th place less attractive then I don't like this idea at all.

The correct solution would be to make 5th play 8th (in the same way as 6th vs 7th, looser gets relegated).

Wouldn't that make 5th place even more attractive? Few 5th place teams are going to struggle to beat the 8th place teams, and now you are giving them at least two games where they get partial gate receipts.

EDIT: They would be paying salaries now, but I still don't think this would really make 5th place less attractive than it currently is.

they´d have to pay at least one week salaries, would not only increase the risk but probably would lower the financial gain severely

What if Attendance revenue was split 50/50 in playoff games and ticket prices were increased by 20% (or x%). Playoff tickets tend to be more expensive anyways. This price increase would obviously have to not lower attendance.

The idea of no salaries is also a very good one. Often in RL pro sports the league pays the players during the playoffs.
