Chapter 402 Contradictions Between the Rich and the Poor

(Thanks for the rewards from the "clumsy f1y" brother. Yesterday's reward was only seen today. I'm sorry, I hurriedly coded more than 9000 words to make up for my mistake, and everyone's fault Tickets, thank you very much! ~\(≧▽≦)/~)

"Then should we re-discuss the distribution plan of broadcasting revenue?"

This world is never short of spoilers. When everyone was happy about making a lot of money, a bald man made an untimely voice, instantly extinguishing the enthusiasm that had just been ignited.

Yang Cheng heard the reputation and looked at it. Coincidentally, it turned out to be Danny Levy, the executive chairman of Tottenham Hotspur. They said that Tottenham owner Joe Lewis didn't like football, and all matters of the club were handled by his good friend Danny Levy. , Now it seems that it is not a rumor. Joe Lewis did not attend such an important meeting in person, which shows the status of football in his heart.

However, although Danny Levi's words were not at the right time, no one made a crusade because this is what they are most concerned about.

The owners of the rich clubs don't want to be with the small clubs, they want to spend more money, and the small clubs have to brazenly fight for their own 'life', otherwise Ying won't have a place for them in the future, let alone cut half of the ratio, at least A penny can make you feel distressed for several days, how can you let the rich and powerful get what they want so easily.

"I think the current distribution plan is very good and fair, and there is no need to change it." Sitting on Yang Cheng's side, near the corner, the voice was Birken Wright, a comedy producer, whose 3ooo With a net worth of more than ten thousand pounds, he is almost one of the poorest among the rich people present.

This is not a very confident statement, but it represents the aspirations of most small clubs in the UK. The current distribution plan can guarantee that there will be a little surplus every year in addition to maintaining the club's operations. If the distribution plan changes, this beautiful life will be destroyed. Gone forever.

Ying's distribution of broadcast income has always been to ensure as fair as possible while also taking into account the popularity of each team and the results of the game.

Each team's TV broadcast bonus is divided into three parts. First, the overseas TV broadcast income plus half of the domestic TV income is divided equally between 20 teams. The average TV broadcast income shared by each English team this season is 7000 thousands of pounds;

Second, take out 25% of the domestic TV broadcast fee income this season, and distribute it according to the number of broadcast sessions of each team. The more broadcasts, the more you get;

Third, take out 25% of the income from domestic TV broadcasting fees, and distribute bonuses according to the team's ranking. The higher the ranking, the higher the bonus.

Of course, in order to protect the interests of small and medium-sized clubs, Ying gave the minimum guarantee for broadcasting games, that is, clubs with less than 10 broadcasts can also be distributed according to 10 broadcasts.

At least for a long period of time in the past, this broadcast revenue distribution mechanism is the most important part behind Yingneng becoming the most commercially successful professional football league in the world.

But now, as the price of a new round of British broadcasting rights hits a new high, overseas broadcasting income is skyrocketing, and it is an inevitable result that the British income distribution mechanism is facing a new test. The reason is not exaggerated at all. After all, there are very few overseas fans who really care about the overall British structure. Most of them are fans of a certain giant who occasionally watch one or two key games.

In the eyes of the giants, this is the performance of the small ball sucking their own blood. It can be said that the grudge has been accumulated for a long time, and it finally exploded before the signing of the new contract. For this situation, Richard Schudmore, who has controlled the British League for 20 years Hall said that he had expected it.

In recent years, the income from broadcasting rights at home and abroad in the UK has continued to rise, and it can even be described as skyrocketing. In particular, the growth rate of overseas broadcasting revenue is astonishing, which is the envy of other sports leagues.

In particular, China and the United States, the two largest markets in the world, have more than doubled their revenue by more than ten times. In the US market alone, the British broadcast revenue for a season is as high as 16.7 billion U.S. dollars. Currently, it is negotiating with NBC TV for the renewal of the US and British broadcast rights. , the total amount in 6 years is expected to exceed 1 billion US dollars,

And past facts have proved that this investment is definitely not a loss.

What happened in the United States is also happening in country Z. Xinying Sports has the exclusive rights to broadcast the English League in the mainland of Z and Macau from the beginning of the 2010/11 season to the 2018/19 season.

In 2010, Xinying Sports won the exclusive broadcasting rights of English for three seasons in China with more than 3000 million US dollars. In 2012, Xinying Sports won the broadcasting rights for the 2013-2019 seasons of the British again for a total of 1 billion yuan (approx. 2.45 million US dollars per season), compared with before, the price of broadcast rights for each season is 25 times higher than before.

It is precisely because of this that, judging from the proportion of UK’s global broadcasting revenue, it is no longer impossible for overseas revenue to catch up with local revenue. Facing such a big cake, how could the giants sit idly by and let the small ball Will you sit on an equal footing with yourself?

The distribution mechanism of overseas broadcasting income, combined with the "5o%:25%:25%" distribution model of domestic broadcasting income in the UK, has ensured that even if the broadcasting income in the UK has skyrocketed in the past 25 years, the broadcasting income obtained by English clubs will not be equal. The gap will be too large. The ratio of the broadcast revenue earned by the top-ranked clubs to the broadcast revenue earned by the bottom-ranked clubs remains at around 16, while the figure for La Liga and Bundesliga has risen to around 3.

Industry insiders believe that this broadcast revenue distribution model is the reason why the English League can maintain a competitive balance to a certain extent, which is also one of the key factors for the English League to achieve great success at home and abroad. As we all know, uncertainty is the greatest charm of Ying, and the performance of various miracles has attracted countless fans of Ying at home and abroad.

But controversy also arises from this. In this joint meeting, Abramovich connected the English six bears in advance - Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham. The reason is very simple, whether it is from the number of fans or the influence In terms of power, they have made the most contributions and should get a bigger share of overseas broadcast revenue.

And this kind of face, which is almost a gangster, aroused the dissatisfaction of most of the owners of small clubs, including the dissatisfaction of Alice Short, who is also from the United States but is of Irish descent. He is the owner of Sunderland. the handrail of the sand, and roared angrily,

"My God, what a disgraceful rhetoric. This season's overseas income is expected to approach 50 million US dollars. This figure is a drop in the bucket for you, but it is tantamount to life-saving for small clubs including Sunderland. Straw, do you group of robbers even want to grab life-saving money?"

As a vanguard, Danny Levy countered in an extremely sarcastic tone, "You still have the face to mention the broadcast income of the season? Do you know that this money is even higher than the giant teams in La Liga and Serie A that broke into the Champions League knockout rounds?" More, what do you contribute to such a huge income? Are you naive to think that Sunderland has fans in the far east?"

The strong sarcasm evoked smiles from Abu, including Yang Cheng and others. These words sounded harsh, but they made sense after careful reflection.

Danny Levi didn't finish his sentence, "We are the main driving force for overseas ratings in the UK. Almost no one will pay attention to your football club like Sunderland, which is hovering at the bottom, relying on the money we earn from our fame. , actually want to accept it with peace of mind, today is April Fool's Day? Are you kidding me?"

No one paid any attention to Alice Short's expression at this time, Abramovich followed Danny Levi's words, "Dear Mr. Scudamore, the club owners including me respect you very much for the past 20 years. Harmonious competitive atmosphere, but what era is it now?

I think it’s time to adjust some unchanging rules. In order to save you time for research and analysis, I would like to propose a reform proposal. It’s better for the league to allocate 55% of the UK’s overseas broadcast revenue and distribute it according to the league ranking. I think this is absolutely true. It is a fair and notarized distribution plan, what do you think? "

Unsurprisingly, this proposal was strongly criticized by the owners of small and medium-sized clubs as soon as it was proposed. West Ham United owner David Sullivan blushed and said bluntly, "You are already so rich now, I will ask this question again." It can only be described as greedy, greedy people deserve to go to hell!"

Angrily killing a glass of red wine, Sullivan pointed at Abramovich and said, "The reason why Yingying is wonderful is that Yingying has no underdogs. Every team has the money to sign some big-name stars. According to the distribution plan you proposed, let us finish playing against you." what is the benefit?"

What Sullivan said is not bad. For football matches, the excitement depends on the competitive level of both sides. If one side has an absolute advantage, in fact, this kind of unsuspecting game will not make the audience satisfied and buy it.

The current overseas broadcast income distribution mechanism of the UK can ensure to a certain extent that the bottom teams have enough funds to buy strong players, ensuring that their own competitive level does not decline and also ensuring the overall competitive level of the UK.

But having said that, Abramovich’s position and reform proposals cannot be said to be unreasonable demands. After all, for ordinary fans, everyone prefers strong teams, and strong teams have more fans and influence than Sunderland and West Ham. A team like the Mundesliga is much higher.

The scene was chaotic, and a group of big bosses with a combined net worth of tens of billions almost rolled up their sleeves to fight. Richard Schudmore stood up several times to stop everyone from arguing, but it didn't work. That's right, this group of social elites Really, that's not what Richard Scudmore, a 'poor man', can stop.

Anyway, everyone says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law is right, but no one can do anything about it. According to the rules, 14 clubs in the English 20 clubs must agree to make changes, so the rich clubs have no advantage at all. Things that the boss can solve with his wealth.

Of course, the six giants are not without a trump card. The trump card is to break away from England and form a league independently or jointly organize a league with other giant football clubs in Europe.

However, from the current point of view, it is still too early to play this trump card, and this trump card is not all beneficial and harmless.

However, Yang Cheng is not very interested in this kind of debate, he is ready to follow the trend, whether the distribution plan is changed or not, he is more concerned about the matter of Yingying's broadcast rights in the United States, because he suddenly realized that This may be the step where he won the renewal contract of cbc?
