![[Wikipedia] Current broadcast deals of the Top 5 leagues in European football](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/f8b843fc-3dd0-4e58-87bd-054defad9a95.webp){kind=link}
Why do serie A teams always act like they’re broke?
It’s the third richest league.TBF, everyone outside the Premier League, Real, Barcelona and PSG is kinda broke. If we are talking about straight up financial problems, the big teams fucked up a lot of decisions in past years and they’re paying the toll now, and the smaller teams see a much reduced slice of that cake than the bigger teams, so they take less money than you’d think.
high debt, low Stadium revenenuees, and overall poor market value abroad
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…
Nah, here’s this horrible high interest deal that he will get a cut of.
Should be noted that these are domestic broadcast deals only.
Wait how can the English fans pay so much more than the other fans from their respective countries to justify this difference in revenue domestically? I thought the premier league had an edge solely due to the much larger foreign market
Na, this was always built on us being rinsed first and foremost. I have no idea why we accept this, the only reason Germany doesn’t make as much is because they won’t accept this shit.
It costs £740 annually to subscribe to all the services currently showing PL matches, so about €900. That’s not an insurmountable expenditure for someone with a decent job in any European country, although it certainly stings a bit.
20quid a month for all sky sports on nowtv. Quite regularly offer those deals. Thats about 75% of the matches covered. And you only need it for 10 months.
As an American, that’s pretty cheap.
I’m paying about $170 a month for the cable package and three streaming services necessary.
900 per year is insane to me. Yes, it’s affordable for a lot of people, but I can’t imagine paying that much just out of principle.
This. I live in Serbia and I pay 10 euros a month approximately for sports channel that broadcasts literally every PL game lmao I know my country is poor, but paying that amount of money to watch domestic league is wild
Tbf that gets you more than just sports, will get you the whole of sky broadcasting.
“DAZN - all matches”
Living the dream in italy.
I doubt that they gotta pay like 80 bucks per month to watch what they want?
they are free to charge whatever they want as much as i am free to ride the wild see, cuz a pirate is free!
all joke aside, i bought a yearly subscription to DAZN, the quality was always abysmalv(Low bitrate for the videos, app crashing, video stopping mid action) so i opted for less legal free option and can watch the matches with a higher quality. If my connection can handle to watch full HD videos with a VPN, then it should be able to play the fucking DAZN, THAT I FUCKING PAID FOR!!!
Imagine being soo shit, Bundesliga is making more money domestically than you, Tebas, at it again being shit.
You’re talking as if the Bundesliga is some amateur league lmao.
Also I think the fact that Germany, as a country, is richer and more populated than Spain might contribute to this, although it’s true that La Liga could be up there with the PL if they actually took advantage from the Messi-Ronaldo era to get a better TV deal
Domestically they absolutely could not.
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…?
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.
I’m guessing language has a lot to do with it. All of the latin american language is pulled towards the Spanish league.
Now…guess what sort of deal the absolute geniuses who run Scottish Football managed to secure us?
Starting in 2024 - Our deal is worth £150m - OVER 5 YEARS!!
£30m a season for 5 years split between 12 teams.
The genuis of Neil Doncaster, who proudly negotiated this deal and refused to tender the rights for an offer so he accepted the first deal offered to him and made a fat bonus on top.
He is also the guy that wrote a 2 year Notice period into his own contract if he was to ever resign or get £800k to terminate his contract.
This is how pathetic and corrupt the people running Scottish football are.
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
