I know I was making $500,000 a week at the start of the season but being way over the salary floor now and with very unhappy fans last week I was just $300,000 (my fans really hate Pancakes, $60,000 less than playing most other teams) in profit and Zazz has been doing this for nearly two seasons so it is simple maths. At worst it should be 24 x $300,000 = $7,200,000 minus arena expansions and player purchases, at best nearly double that.
But if there is one team that is flirting with bankruptcy it is hopelessly addicted and his $808,000 salary but I know he likes to live dangerously. Funny to see three of the top six salaries belong to teams in relegation battles and the 7th is Pancakes that were trying to stay out of them.
