Earlier this week, TheFightNetwork.com issued a press release confirming rumors that Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. (“Anthem”), the parent-company of The Fight Network, recently made a working capital loan to fund the operations of TNA Impact Wrestling.

Below is the official release with comments from Anthem CEO Leonard Asper. It’s worth noting that this doesn’t mean TNA is out of the water, rather they have bought some more wiggle room and much-needed time. It also likely means Billy Corgan will be repaid the money he loaned the company and his lawsuit against TNA and key management figures will come to a close.
