I think its a little premature to say other streams of revenue will drop significantly based on a 2 million fewer fans the first week of a boycott.
It will be more interesting to see if the ratings start to gradually rise once the novelty of the boycott wears off.

We're talking about the Sunday night game which saw 7.4 million less fans. That's significant. That's a fricking 1/3 of people who watched the opening Sunday night game last year.
You're talking about the opener on Thursday. When it's all said and done this week, and when all the game viewerships are combined, we're likely talking 30-40 million less eyeballs on the product overall at a minimum. That's HUGE for advertising.

I wasn't much of a baseball fan at the time, but I remember a lot of talk about how the player strike killed fan enthusiasm and it didn't return until the McGuire-Sosa HR record chase.
There was a four year gap between those two events.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't mention that fact to LeBron when he threw a tantrum and decided to call the season off.
