It matters who is taking the risk of it not being successful, and whose pockets the proceeds are flowing into. As David explains it, it's the clubs taking all the risk. The circuit's costs are covered. The clubs just want to ensure the entries are big enough to break-even.
I think the circuit (or circuit + promoter) is in the best position to organize such an event, because it can invite all those diverse entries and push the event to sponsors before anyone is committed to anything. Once the sponsor is on board, and willing to cover some of the cost, both sponsor and circuit now have a reason to make sure the greatest number of people come through the gate.
