There is no indication that they can keep that going very long unless they find new wealthy benefactors who love to piss away their money with no return.

I would disagree. It's not up to a billioniare (I mean you need initial investment money I agree with), I already told you how the success or failure of a sport is going to be.
IE it's up to the general public to accept and want this niche sport in front of them. They are putting their product out there, that's all you can ask for. If the sport doesnt pick up traction, it doesnt work.
Cool, but they are doing their damdest to put a great pro product in front of the masses.....you can't really ask for anything else.
ETA: I would also disagree with your sentiment that they are looking for investors to then "pissing away their money with no return".....what they are doing from a professional and marketing / production standpoint is putting their best product forward. That's not "pissing away money", they are making VERY SOUND decisions, this isn't the Island House Triathlon product. It may not work but to suggest they want people to just throw money at them with no return imo is a very poor characterization of this current platform.
ETA #2- Mind you it probaly won't work. Triathlon is a boring ass sport, it's hard as fuck to package an live race in our current format. How many passes happened in this event. So the general masses will probaly give this a very hard pass. But that doesnt mean they pissed away the money. They are doing a very good job of doing everything they can to be successful, but sometimes your product doesnt work. No harm there. But this group imo isn't taking money and just pissing it away, they are doing very sound business decisions. It just may not work, and hey that's ok.
