Lol

No.

I thought the PL had an actual global customer base

>>150717280 (OP)
Doubtful. That european super league that got aborted probably would have though.

>>150717355
they do, probably the biggest in the world but unless they are gonna ‘commercialize’ the league like the NFL and consorts there is no way they gonna catch you lot.

American sports are designed and created for mass advertisments. No normal sport will generate anything close to them. Like who the fuck even watchs MLB? seats are always empty.

>>150717422
Yeah, imagine if they commercialized the Premier League? Crazy. Couldn't imagine.

>>150717428
bruh, there are so many more ways to get wads of cash in. It’s not even 1/3th of what you have in the US.

>>150717280 (OP)
It used to be a top three league, so probably not.

>>150717443
>bruh
kek fag
>there are so many more ways to get wads of cash in
Yeah, mainly by not having a dirt poor european fanbase.

>>150717355
Thirdies have literally zero spending power

these graphs are thrown together by americans who don't realise not every sport has the same length contracts. the PL is a 3 season contract and a cursory google search suggest the NHL has a 7 billion dollar deal over 11 years

i think only the NFL has a higher amount per season than the PL, not that these ridiculous figures should be celebrated unless you're a braindead ameritard who lives in a trailer

>>150717456
no need to be so hostile, you don’t have to be a genius to realize that the biggest sport in the world with the most followed league would have plenty of ways to generate more revenue if they wanted.

Christ, no wonder Germany just walked right into your backyard like they owned the place, eh?

You just know MLS will be doing all of this eventually and becomes the biggest soccer league in the world.

>>150717597
Lmao you should check out the amount of ads in Finnish baseball, every square inch of their clothes are covered in ads. In addition, players have personal sponsors who are announced live in the stadium when they step up to hit. Even the gold helmet of each team is sponsored and announced when they do something. Oh, and the umpires are sponsored too.

exactly, we could look like nascar or F1, so much missed revenue rn

>>150717355
Most third-world football fans pirate their streams and buy knock-off shirts. They don't spend money consooming merchandise like americattle.

>>150718064
i personally loved the 1-800 Contacts penalty kick by AARP's dedicated taker, Thomas Muller

>>150717487
It's yearly revenue, it's not combining the total value of TV deals.

>>150717280 (OP)
>5 billion to catch up
No, I don’t think so. The American leagues are 30+ franchises that can expand anytime, and the entire system is primed for profit. Unless the Premier League manages to massively expand in the US and China/India, it will not close the gap
And it doesn’t have to

>>150717415
True, a BeNeLux competition would compete with france at least but Europeans are quite stuborn
Also there are some serious fans in mainland Europe that would just go out and harras officials and club presidents/their kids if they ever tried something like

>>150717355
yeah people in indonesia and weirdly african countries all watch the PL
but think of it like this, how much money are you going to make from it? In indonesia its 80 dollars a year to watch the PL, Kenya its like 50 dollars
How much does it cost to watch the NFL in the USA?

>>150729422
A benelux league would snowball into a european superleague, since at that point country borders won't matter anymore for leagues and you'll see more leagues merging. It's a good thing that a benelux league doesn't exist, and should only exist if those three countries combined first.

>>150729478
That ship has sailed 200 years ago sadly
A small country like Luxemburg should just join one of the other leagues

>>150729454
NFL is almost all free for your local team, each time slot has games on channels that are free. The only time you would have to pay is if your team plays on the one Thursday game of the week (Amazon Prime) or the Monday game of the week (ESPN, so basic cable).

>>150730111
>if your team plays on the one Thursday game of the week (Amazon Prime)
If you live in the city they actually show those games for free on local tv too. Today's game will be shown on FOX5 Washington DC, NBC26 Green Bay, and FOX6 Milwaukee

>NFL is almost all free for your local team, each time slot has games on channels that are free.
you dont pay for your cable over there?

>>150730163
We do but there are a few channels you can get for free without a plan. I have a plan but I still get the free channels that show the NFL games by sticking a paper clip in the cable outlet to use as an antenna because there is less delay than my cable hookup. I do that so I can mute it and line it up with the radio broadcast or live bet different things.

>>150730224
i'd guess advertising in the USA is the main income then
over here you need ESPN, costs like 17 euro a month but you also get to watch the Eredivisie, bundesliga(as if anyone here cares) and all european cup football which most people here watch, so it inflates the price. Few people buy it just for the NFL , we also get a lot less advertisement

>>150717424
This, revenue doesn't mean the viewing experience is actually any good.
>30s play
>5min of drug ads
>30s commentary
>5min of mcdolan ads
>b-but muh revenue, USA numba wan!

>>150730111
TNF is on Twitch too, which is free.

>>150729478
Wouldn't it make more sense to merge Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia's leagues? Luxembourg has no teams; they'd basically be abolishing their own league if they joined a Benelux league. Meanwhile, the three Baltic countries are all about equal in size and ability, but they're also so shit that nobody will complain if two-thirds of each league got relegated.

>>150717280 (OP)
Lol the majority of PL customers are people from third world Muslim shitholes

>>150734991
Put another prawn on the barbie, mate.

>>150717280 (OP)
Only if they find a way to make 90% of their broadcasts advertising like american sports do.

>>150717355
They are watched by billions of Africans and Indians which equals diddly squat in revenue

>>150717280 (OP)
Will America become a First World country in our lifetime?

>>150717280 (OP)
America spends their money like drunks. I wish NHL made more money than Soccer though. It's a much better product.

I count 10 gay leagues.

>>150735785
Sports?

>>150735785
No guns. Also you of all countries know you have "third world" problems too. Only those rich scandies should be allowed to criticize us. Or like Japan but they don't speak English.

>>150717280 (OP)
Isn't most of the revenue TV-deals?

>>150735785
Is this counting or not counting gang violence?
