Will the XFL survive?

Recently been watching the XFL and the league is raw as fuck. Players are incredibly talented and play with heart.

This got me thinking about the economics of the league. I read that this is the 2nd attempt in 3 years to revive the league and outside investors such as the Rock paid about $15M to purchase the league.

Watching the games ESPN appears to have more access to players during games through live interviews and coaches have their headsets tagged so you can hear the players b4 they're run which is a cool touch.

I looked online and tickets tend to cost about $40-$90 & serve as the leagues main revenue source. The league does generate revenue from selling broadcasting rights to espn and others, though I'm not sure what these numbers look like (USFL did $65M in ad revenue in 2022).

Finally I read online that about 147k fans have attended games as of 03/06/23 which would ROUGHLY equates to about $7.6M in revenue for the league.

Bottom line I'm curious to see if you all think the league will survive and what the major opexs would be for the league.
