Michael Cohl must have balls the size of melons. Not only has he taken on a ton of existing debt, but the weekly running costs are estimated at $1m. I doubt they will ever recoup, let alone cover the weekly costs.
Apparently Bono & Edge have had to dip into their own pockets as well, to keep the show alive.
I wonder if Jim can get a meet with Cohl. He seems to put his money where his mouth is.
I'm guessing that Bat still needs (some) funding (could be wrong) and I've always wondered whether Really Useful was ever approached? ALW supposedly loves Jim's stuff and $20m (if that is what Bat needs) is pocket change to the Lord.
