The Premier Leagueโs earnings through TV revenue are now ten times than that of Serie A.
La Gazzetta dello Sport have done a research on TV revenues amongst the top five European leagues and while it is unsurprising that the Premier League tops the charts, it is the gulf between the English top flight and other leagues that is staggering.
While the Premier Leagueโs revenue generated from TV stands at well over โฌ2 billion, Serie A has now been surpassed by the Bundesliga and La Liga and the Italian top flightโs revenue stands at a little over โฌ200 million. Out of that figure, about โฌ139 million is generated from broadcasts all over the world and the rest is garned from the CBS broadcasts.
Last season, Inter earned โฌ84 million, Juventus earned โฌ78 million and Milanโs numbers stood at โฌ77 million. In the Premier League, Manchester City earned โฌ187 million; just โฌ2 million behind Liverpoolโs revenue of around โฌ185 million. Shockingly enough, Norwich City (who got relegated) earned โฌ116.4 million โ well more than any Serie A side. Norwichโs Serie A equivalent โ Venezia, earned a little less than โฌ26 million.
