English Premier League TV rights to be $7.9 Billion over 3yrs

On Tuesday, the English Premier League announced that Sky Sports and BT Sport would retain the league’s domestic television rights at a staggering cost: About $7.9 billion over three years starting in the 2016-17 season, a 70 percent increase over what they’re currently paying. And when international rights are factored in, the league is expected take in about $13 billion over the course of the deal, or around $4.3 billion per year.

Obviously the rest of Europe is worried, very worried.

Lol.. La Liga is the best league in the world? Well, that's horseshit. They have 2 teams, and a bunch of scrubs because of how imbalanced their deals are... and now he's crying about someone else being able to afford his toys better? GTFO you silly wanker! :lol:

When was the last time they won it before last year?

 

 

To be fair, for years it was only the Big Four in the BPL before the UAE guys purchased City. And of that "Big Four," Liverpool has yet to win an EPL title and Arsenal hasn't won it since 2003-04.

 

Since the BPL was created in 1992, only five teams have won it, and Blackburn ('95) isn't even in the league anymore while City only started winning in 2011-12.

 

As an Arsenal fan it seems like Arsenal develops the talent to win but ends up selling it off in its prime (Henry, RVP, Fabregas, Nasri, Clichy, etc.) I don't follow the team well enough to be a regular in here but I feel like the goal is just to make the top four and any trophies are just gravy. Spurs is the same way (Bale) but they can't ever break into that top four. I mean, is there really an expectation for Kane to be with Spurs for life?

 

No doubt the BPL is the best league in the world with its success over here really unprecedented and leading domestic U.S. league's to at least consider attempting to garner the same success in Europe. No other league can come close to claiming that success, but competitively the BPL lacks parity just like those other European leagues.

I do not necessarily think that BPL is the best league in the world based on quality, I think the three to leagues are all really close, but they certainly are the most popular.

To be fair though, they have a huge advantage stateside and that is the language. This has helped them get better TV deals over here and in turn their popularity grew much faster.

I am excited about the FOX deal for the Bundesliga that starts next season. Would love to see their presence grow over here the way BPL had. Of course as a Bayern fan a lot over here will view me the way I always viewed Man U fans.

I'm an Arsenal fan and u r lil wrong there bud. Arsenal used to develop talent and sell it for big bucks to finish paying for almost a billion dollar stadium they built in 2006. In the last 2 years Arsenal spent close to £170m on bring new players in. Arsenal made paying off stadium #1 priority because of 10% interest rate on a loan. Because stadium is completely paid off, Arsenal has close to £120m in annual transfer fees. If not for the injuries, Arsenal could of easily be #1 or #2 in the BPL. Arsenal is a striker away from being a very dominant team.

BPL is the most watched league in US. It means BPL will get mad money from TV deals. Mad money from TV deals means more money for teams to spend on top class players.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
