It's the high salaries. Few updates ago Paige Turner changed all salaries and pretty much fucked up the game. Now most real promotions die within first 6 months. I've tried 10+ saves and everytime LU, CZW, HOH, BW and CWFH goes bankrupt and fast. Hopefully this gets fixed soon and salaries get lowered back to where they should be (I mean 45k for Ricochet, Matt Sydal and Ospreay is wayyy too high when they work for small indies IRL)
Now you need to sign few cheap guys for written contracts and just use them until you are big enough promotion to do house shows and able to get good sponsorship money.. That's how I've managed to play with Small or Regional promotions.
