Why do serie A teams always act like they’re broke?
It’s the third richest league.high debt, low Stadium revenenuees, and overall poor market value abroad
And also no help from the state or city major, on the countrary they will try everything to stop the clubs to build a new stadium ( really hated Virginia Raggi useless for the city and for the club)
Somebody needs to show Tebas this the next time he starts waffling about Prem being “the doped up league”. Having a very beneficial TV deal isn’t “doping”, it’s just having an attractive product and good negotiators…
Imagine being soo shit, Bundesliga is making more money domestically than you, Tebas, at it again being shit.
Population:
- Germany: 83m
- Spain: 47m
GDP per capita
-
Germany: 51.200 US Dollars
-
Spain: 30.100 US Dollars
And considering that pretty much fussball is popular in Germany as much as futbol in Spain I’d be very surprising if it would be otherwise.
Considering the german domestic TV deal is for Buli and 2.Buli then I’m still quite surprised that Bundesliga is on pair with La Liga given both Germany’s population and GDP are almost TWICE as Spain which means there are MORE people willing to watch football and willing to spend MORE money given their higher salaries compared to Iberia.
The real standing for the domestic TV rights considering the quality of the league, GDP, population and soccer popularity in a certain country the standing should be: EPL >> Bundesliga > Serie A = Spain = Ligue 1
Well done Javier Tebas.
You’re not taking into account the whole Latin American market that shares the same language. Not as much to do with Tebas as simply sharing the same language as a much bigger marker. Same can be said about the Premiee League.
Why would one take into account foreign market when the conversation is about domestic deals…?
?? This is domestic TV deals so Venezuela and the other latino countries are not included AFAIK
These deals are domestic league contracts, as in not including international games. Go look at source one on the wikipedia sources for the chart. Pague 75 Inthink it was has the chart with the length and revenues for domestic and international broadcasting and the numbers add to the total on thr Wikipedia charts.
That’s off topic tho.
We’re just discussing the domestic TV deals here and to me it’s surprising La Liga can be so competitive despite their INFERIORITY to the other top leagues in terms of audience (least in terms of population and GDP per capita)
Actually German “should” be first, it’s a bigger economy but people won’t accept being gouged there, its for no lack of loving football if anything I would say the opposite. The culture over here accepts this bullshit way too easily and its horrible.
German deal is for 2 leagues
It’s also only 18 teams and fewer matches for a league that is supposed to be less popular. I see what you are saying though.
the question is why the difference isn’t bigger in favor of the Bundesliga, considering Germany is way bigger (+35 millions) and way richer (three times the GDP).
popularity kicks in with the foreign deals, which puts the spanish league way ahead of the Bundesliga.
All I can add to that is that the live broadcast services available in Germany are absolute scams on the financial side. Maybe less privatization would benefit the league’s income.
I’m guessing language has a lot to do with it. All of the latin american market is pulled towards the Spanish league. Just as all of the English speaking world, which goes beyond English speaking countries, is pulled to the Premier League.
Should be noted that these are domestic broadcast deals only.
Any graph that talks about foreign TV deals available? Serie A gets 205 million each year from them, I’d like to compare with the other leagues
The numbers I found were: PL £1.4bn, LaLiga £815m, Serie A £337, Bundesliga £218m, Ligue 1 £73m. If you add domestic and foreign, you get the PL at £3.1bn, LaLiga £1.9bn, Bundesliga £1.3bn, Serie A £1.2bn and Ligue 1 with £1.1bn.
