For ABC, it's pretty simple. They paid Whalerock Industries a flat(ish) license fee for the rights to air Battlebots. If the ad revenue exceeded that license fee, they made money. If the ad revenue was less than the license fee, they lost money.

If and how Whalerock made money is a bit more complicated. They get the license fee revenue from ABC, DVD/digital distribution revenue, merchandising revenue, (possible) entry fees from participants..., but they also have to pay for the entire costs of production. Too many unknowns to draw any simple(ish) conclusions.
