80,000 people paying £1 a pop to watch St Helens v Wigan would cover the costs of the OB set up etc.....but it's getting RL fans to part with a tenner a week for 4 games on a subscription model that would be the problem.
Unless SL start offering a central ticketing system, a collective shirt manufacturing deal and a cohesive and central marketing strategy, then the game is in trouble, because the Likes of Wigan and Saints will soon tire of dragging around the deadwood clubs.....
