It was Dolan who footed that entire bill \u2014 in return for U2 being his experimental venue\u2019s guinea pig, and for agreeing to perform without the guy who founded the group (drummer <strong>Larry Mullen Jr.<\/strong>, who was still recuperating from shoulder surgery).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, U2 reportedly got an unheard-of 90% of the gate for its 40 shows.<\/p>\n<p>These were contractual terms it would have been impossible for the Sphere to extend to any subsequent headliners and still turn a profit.
