Considering that many of the best bands I've ever seen have had extremely small crowds (often 10 or less people), I can honestly say that the quality of a band has very little to do with its popularity or live draw. For example, my clear favorite local live bands draw very few people (no names), and I've seen dogshit, dime-a-dozen metalcore bands that can draw 120 bored kids from their high school circle of friends with no problem.

Promoters want to make money, granted. That is the nature of the beast. But assuming reasonable promotion for a show has been made, national bands should be able to cover their own cost, especially with a well-assembled, fitting support bill. Making bands that desperately need exposure carry that weight just isn't cool. It never has been.

I'm just thankful we've got some promoters around here like Joe, Rich, Alex, etc who book bands they believe in.
