If the business failed, Profaci would give more money to the Sicilian to start another business. Gallo was upset that Profaci didn't do the same for the Americanized members.

So based on what he told Breslin it was both financial and due to unfairness / preferential treatment of Sicilians.
Profaci was an idiot! He started a war only because he wanted all the.money.

This is the fuse that made the war explode.
Profaci was really stingy and he had promised after the murder of Abbetemarco that the Gallos would take his rackets but it was not so, the rest is history.
I've read they were specifically promised Abbatemarco's numbers racket. And also, after the hostage situation, Profaci promised them rackets and then reneged after the hostages were released.
I welshed?

You welshed.
