If you follow the NHL, you see (or did before the Cup run) the lower bowl half empty at Kings games often. You'd think, "Are these Dodger fans? Will they show up toward the end of the first period?" But... Nope
Sports in LA are not attendance driven anymore. There is enough money in corporate sponsorships to keep the Kings afloat and hockey is in most places a lot more dependent on the gate receipts.
I think just being in LA is enough money. Especially in a brand new stadium.
