I would think the connections never thought about the loss of stud fee(s) in bringing him back. They are not looking to make a stallion. What they thought, why they did, etc., it's nothing but a fallacious arguement.
If he's truly going to be open, I think he could attract mares that that level. He doesn't have to be a typical commercial stallion with the connections however and of course he's not being marketed to breeders here in this forum.
