Investment in TV Azteca 5,000,000 3,500,000
$ 6,138,631 $ 4,638,631

As of March 31, 2020, the Company owns a 25% non-voting membership interest in Esports Arena, LLC ("ESA") and ESA's wholly owned subsidiary. The investment is accounted for as a cost method investment since the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of ESA.

During January 2019, the Company contributed $1,238,631 to ESA, in order to fulfill the remainder of its funding commitment to ESA. The Company recognized an immediate impairment of $600,000 related to this funding.

The Company paid $3,500,000 to TV Azteca, S.A.B. DE C.V., a Grupo Salinas company ("TV Azteca") in August 2019, and on March 4, 2020 the Company paid an additional $1,500,000 to TV Azteca in connection with a Strategic Investment Agreement with TV Azteca in order to expand the Allied Esports brand into Mexico. See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies, Investment Agreements for additional details.
