“Publicly owned”

[Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate]

The #Packers received $402.3M in national revenue from the NFL last season. Multiply that by 32 and that means the NFL distributed roughly $12.97 billion to its teams (up from $11.98 billion last year).

Because they’re publicly owned, the #Packers must release their finances.

National revenue comes from media rights, league sponsorships, licensing, and other sources.

The largest media deal in women’s sports history. Congrats @NWSL!

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

The NWSL has just agreed to a set of media rights deals totaling $240 million over four years.

It's worth 40x the $1.5M the league was previously earning in TV revenue.

Deferrals should not be considered a good deal for the player UNLESS you can predict the future w.r.t the economy and/or you’re just bad with money. The former Met gets paid $1.19M today and every July 1 - via @ESPN App #BobbyBonillaDay https://t.co/TxMKWEkvoc

“Historic” and long overdue #SportsBiz

NEWS: Major League Baseball and the MLBPA's minor leaguers have agreed to the first-ever CBA for minor league players, per @JeffPassan.

It will double minor league player pay at every level.

@FOS @CNBC @MLS The annualized deal is on par with the one @ManUtd alone currently has with @adidas #SportsBiz

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

Adidas and MLS have agreed to extend their partnership through 2030.

The deal is valued at $830 million, per @cnbc, and is Adidas' largest-ever investment in North American soccer.

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

Because of US Soccer's new equal pay agreement, men and women split World Cup prize money.

With the USMNT advancing today, the two teams will each receive $6.5 million minimum.

That's more than the USWNT got for winning both the 2015 and 2019 World Cups combined: $6 million.

The USWNT has announced that it will play England — and the match sold out faster than any women's soccer match in history.

The World Champions will meet the European Champions in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley in October 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Estimated costs range from $400 million to $1.5 billion, per Sports Business Journal. Would be worth it if the city can host more premier events like the Super Bowl - https://t.co/zODOnPbH30 via @FOS

@Spotify will pay @FCBarcelona_es $380 million over 5 years or $76 million per year … not bad.

[Barça Universal @BarcaUniversal]

Edit: Gavi with the rumored 2022-23 Barcelona's kit, with Spotify as the main sponsor.
