I'm sure ESPN would make a decent offer but it would not be in the range of Spike TV's offer.

Spike TV was said to be unhappy about the leak of the $100 million figure because it led to other parties that they are negotiating with (TNA) to want more money than they were otherwise going to be getting.

I know they might have to bump some of their other quality programming, like the work team cup stacking championships or the one millionth airing of the 03' WSOP, but it seems ESPN would be eager to jump on board the fastest growing sport in the world.
