HBO paid about 80%+ because the BBC doesn't have that large of a budget. The set cost about $200M to build, as it is the largest standing set in the world and they'll reuse it for other productions and lease it to movie studios. Each season cost about $100-120M. Needless to say, HBO had to cancel it after 2 seasons because it had some of the lowest ratings of any of their shows. Unfortunately, they also canceled Deadwood, which was cheaper and getting far better ratings than Rome.
