According to an obituary for owner Pierre P ladeau Pierre Peladeau in the New York Times , the venture lost 14 million. A United Press International article, published when the tabloid ceased publication, cited its circulation at that time as 105,000. Jacques Beauchamp was the initial editor and said that the paper devoted 25 26 pages in each edition to sports the paper typically ran to about 60 pages total. According to Associated Press the Associated Press News agency wire service , the end came when unions rejected management s demand to save 3 million annually by laying off 43 of the 157 employees and wage concessions. Quebecor, the paper s owner, intended to convert the tabloid to an all sports format if the savings were realized. Originally, Peledeau told Time magazine Time Magazine he hoped to expand his sensationalist, sports oriented paper to other cities, such as Atlanta, Boston, Detroit and Los Angeles but none of this came about.
