You're incorrect on the fees. The 180k was the application fee for the 2013 round of new gtlds. Actual on going costs are $6,250 per quarter, plus a cut from each registration or renewal, as per the registry contract.
ICANN can only cancel Registry contracts under specific circumstances. Listed here: https://newgtlds.icann.org/sites/default/files/agreements/ag...
