@IndianTechGuide Valuation of US leagues:

NFL: $227 billion
NBA: $162 billion
MLB: $88.5 billion
MLS: $23 billion

IPL $20.6 billion

IPL would be 5th in the US let alone the world.

@PeteTheGreek13 @JoePompliano National Revenue(TV deals,NFL sponsorships, merchandise) = $453.2 million.
Player costs = $474 million.

Total revenue = $753 million.
Total expenses = $754.1 million.

[Kalanar @Kalanar506]

@Yaibal7 @PatMcAfeeShow Player expenses were higher than they normally would be due to some expensive contracts like Parsons and players leaving that had prior signing bonuses leaving.

Next year player costs should be down but they also won't have the sale of NFL network so net income could be down.

@Bman21212 @AndrewBrandt @TheAthletic I never said they are losing money.

Acting like player costs = salary cap is disingenuous and @AndrewBrandt knows it isn't the same.

The fact is national revenue covers player costs and local revenue is what makes teams profitable.

[Kalanar @Kalanar506]

@Bman21212 @AndrewBrandt Almost every team in the NFL also spends over the salary cap each year in cash. The @TheAthletic looked at 5 years cash spending and 31/32 teams spend more cash than cap.

Every team in the NFL has to also pay $77M to player benefits and performance pay.

[Kalanar @Kalanar506]

@blakemitchamore The salary cap is not the same thing as player expenses.

Players receive $77 million a year in benefits and performance pay and most teams spend over the cap in cash.

Packers player expenses last season were $474 million.

National revenue is also more than just TV contracts.

@pepe_hermit The NFL stopped filing as a non profit in 2015 because it was irrelevant.

@SecondInternat1 @swh4111984 @shaunster101 @Thundering165 NFL revenue exceeded $23 billion for the 2024 season. 2025 season is not out yet but is expected to exceed $24 billion.
You are also comparing 285 matches to close to 2000 matches.

@AndrewBrandt The salary cap isn't all the players receive.
They also get around $77 million in benefits and performance pay $378.8M X 32 teams = $12.12 billion player compensation.
That doesn't account for the fact most NFL teams spend over the salary cap in cash.

@donttalkmuch__ @theScore That is the leagues total revenue. That includes the revenue the NBA gets from China.

[Kalanar @Kalanar506]

@donttalkmuch__ @theScore Total revenue NFL almost doubles the NBA.

[Kalanar @Kalanar506]

@DanCollins2011 If that is true it is only because the World Cup pays around 5% of revenue to players.

NFL pays around 50% of revenue to players.

EPL pays around 70% of revenue to players.

For USL to be viable they would have to pay 50%+ which kills profits.

@AdamSchefter Seahawks sold for $9.6B a 43.28% increase over their last Forbes valuation.
Raiders sold a minority stake for a $11B valuation a 42.85% increase over their last Forbes valuation.
Expect when new Forbes valuations to be released in a few months for all teams to see a 40% increase.

[Kalanar @Kalanar506]

@ChaseDaniel @AdamSchefter @MikeGarafolo @SethWickersham Both the Seahawks and Raiders sold at around 40% increase over last Forbes valuations so that would put the Cowboys value around $18.2 billion.

Expect all teams to see around that increase when new valuations are released.

@MissLauraFong @arberx_ @BryanDe83123592 The total IPL salary cap for each franchise is ₹151 crore ($15.8M USD). There 10 teams equaling $158M league wide.
The NFL salary cap is $301.2M per team.
Every team in the NFL pays almost twice as much as the total IPL pays their players and there are 32 teams.

@sergitosergito @wizardofsoho Why per capita and not per fan?

Or normalize it per match.

NFL €19.88B/285 matches: €69,754,385/match

UK,Germany,France, Italy, Spain, Portugal €24.34B/2132 matches: €11,416,510/match
