The club gets about as much money from fans attending games as it gets from Fox (roughly).



Yes, but the FFA gets a shit-ton more money from Fox than they do from the clubs, which is why the FFA allow Fox to dictate the schedule. As I understand it, the club doesn't have any contact at all with Fox Sports.
