What's new

BCCI earns $2.38 Billion in FY 2024: How does it compare to other cricket boards?

The income figures of rest of the boards isn't verified. It first came out on an online website and others copied it.
I rechecked figures again and you are correcr

Australia actually earned 426 mil in revenue

Not 79 mil bs

Still only a fraction of bcci though

Ecb earned 336 mil pounds so about 500 plus mil usd

but both ECB and CA barely break even with that revenue without the India tour.
their expenses are quite high.
 
Lol

What the heck ?? How in the world did Bangladesh earn more than cricket south Africa ??

Practically no one watches or gives 2 hoots about the Bengali kitty cats...

😂
Probably fake. I don't think BCB is that rich. THey don't even pay the driver.

Sheikh Haseena must have siphoned the funds to get her tea from chaiwala Modi. :moyo2
 
Without this money, cricket wouldn't survive. The other board numbers are not enough to prop up the sports of cricket or make it worthwhile to have an ICC.

If you ever were a fan of cricket you will be glad these numbers are beong thrown around

It's hilarious when grown adults pretend they don't understand how money affects every facet of life. And then same guys cry and whine about india getting krensay

But for their who are are pretending to be dumb - this is why these numbers matter

1) The next time you cry and whine why BCCI is getting so much say or their way, this is your answer. You don't have to open a 100 thread asking why ICC listens to india more or other boards. You can click this link. And this is why it matters to a Kumar from India.

2) Without BCCI earning so much cricket would be in a much poorer state. From better broadcasting, to tournaments like the world cup or WTC to ICC itself existing this matters. So of you even pretend to be a fan of cricket you will realize BCCI bringing in such money is good for not only india but all cricket nations.

3) In a way this also means that BCCI won't abandon other boards or ICC. They earn so much so they will want to keep the ecosystem going and not rock the boat. Win win for all.
How does bcci making 100 carore affect you?

Actually for my family it does indirectly

Dad has investments in reliance. Reliance is owned by bambani. He has media rights to broadcast bcci games.

So does my uncle. Infact gets stock credit given he is the Vp of reliance.

But that is Reliance paying money to BCCI. How and why does it matter to Reliance how much money BCCI generates for itself?

ok fair enough. So you will make money off of BCCI. Now what about the rest of the 20 indian posters here?

Thats what i am saying, anyone who is to make money off of it directly should chest thump, but every other poster who is not that is stupid.

Not about chest thumping dude

it’s about reinvesting the money into grass root system, developing infrastructure, creating performance centres and talent camps to find and nurture talents. IMO bcci has improved but it’s still not good enough tbh. Long way to go.

They need to utilise those resources to create platforms that unearth more talents across India.


Btw IPL which everyone seems to love for the money actually only pays 19% of their revenue to their players. This is pittance compared to nfl, football, baseball, bball and nhl and a couple of other sports. Those sports pay close to 50 % of their revenue to their athletes.

Game won’t grow enough unless they disburse more

Other teams need to do the same but cricket barring t20 seems to be a niche sport. Contrary to popular belief opinion, cricket is quite expensive. Not diving, ice skating level expensive but still pricey.

So bcci needs to do a lot more.
 
Interesting conversation with Sanjeev Goenka, owner of Lucknow Supergiants IPL team.

Pays Rs 700 cr annually to BCCI to own the IPL team.
BCCI gives back Rs 450 cr from the broadcasting rights money

He’s hinting the broadcasting revenue will likely get bigger in upcoming 3 years in which he hopes to break even.

The Indian Market payback opportunities are so huge, i am pretty sure these teams make so much from commercial sponsorship, merchanding alone. Even if they are operating in losses, the fan following and attention which comes from owning an IPL Franchise is priceless.

What does major think about this?
More money in ipl that doesn’t go into Indian fans pockets

Should we stop supporting the team?

Even if you assume that cricket is after all just a sport ... Look at the effect it has on the economy ... how many jobs that it creates for my countrymen . .. not everything is about direct transactions between fans and BCCI.
 
There is a reason why BCCI is so influential. Not only they earn money, but ICC gets a huge sum of of money as well due to BCCI.

Power is money and money is power.

BCCI’s management is under appreciated. You hardly see our fans opening threads about their unhappiness with BCCI’s working. The level of trust people have in BCCI is immense. They have been one if the rare success stories among institutions in Bharat. The best part about them being that to this day they operate as a shadow organization. No needless press conferences and media appearances, no needless statements, no boasting, no political commentary. Jay Shah appears everywhere but hardly ever speaks. It works like a magic. We had instances when Lalit Modi and Srinivasan tried to dominate but the system beautifully ensures their exit and replacement with more professional people aligned with the values of the organization. Jay Shah has been a blessing. Him being strongly connected to government means he can wield greater power. It can go great or worse but so far it’s been good.

When things are being run smoothly, people tend to take them for granted. Remember Bharat is an incredible diverse country and a democracy with all the regional powers having a major political voice. There are always disagreements over distribution of matches and in player selections. Things can get chaotic and ugly if not managed well. The fact that we rarely hear about such issues means BCCI is doing a top job at that.

BCB is not poor by any means, it is just that they allowed random garment factory owners buying BPL teams without any background checks. The owners learned it the hard way that owning a sports franchise isn't quite same as running a sweatshop lol.

The revenue from IPL broadcasting rights is divided between the BCCI and the franchises on a 50-50 basis with the BCCI keeping 50% and the rest of the money is equally distributed to all IPL teams.

For instance, the 2023-27 IPL media rights were sold for ₹48,390 crore (~$6.2 billion). So each franchise gets roughly between ₹400-500 crore annually. What Goenka is suggesting here and he seems quite confident about it, that the broadcasting rights will go up significantly in the coming years


And you’re right, it is the major revenue stream for the IPL owners but not the only one. They generate revenues from other sources as well. From jersey sponsor alone most IPL teams generate like ₹50-100 crore annually.

Then you have revenues from ticket sales and you would be surprised to know BCCI doesn’t take a cut from it. 80% of the ticket sales revenue goes straight to the IPL team owners pockets and the remaining 20% goes to the authority that owns the stadium. So again, the IPL team can mint close to ₹50 crore each season from ticket sales. It will vary of course for teams based on their stadium capacity, turnout and ticket pricing.

Then you have revenues from merchandise and all.

The valuation of most IPL teams has appreciated significantly over time as the brand has grown. Mumbai Indians were bought by Ambanis for a little over 100 million USD back in the day and it is worth over 1 Billion USD. Same with KKR and other popular teams. Shahrukh bought KKR for 70 million USD, his team is also near billion dollar worth today. You’re talking about 14X ROI in 16 years from valuation alone. That alone trumps all the mathematics mentioned above. IPL’s brand value is untouchable and the biggest reason why billionaires flock to have a piece of that cake.

The economy of Bharat is expected to continue its growth journey in the coming decades. As per capita income rises so will the spending power on cricket resulting in massive appreciation in valuations for IPL team owners.

If you look at the global trend, major NFL, NBA franchises like Lakers, Cowboy etc and Football clubs of Europe like Madrid, Barcelona, PSG etc are valued between USD 7-10 billion today. IPL teams are barely scratching the surface with the best of them nearing USD 1 billion mark just now.

Also remember this ain’t nfl
IPL only runs for 2 months

Extrapolate that to 10 months a season instead.

So make that a full season like nfl. 50 to 80 games a season.

Each player on average will earn on par with nfl if IpL decides to pay more than 30% of revenue earned
Right now it’s sitting at just a mere 18%

NFL and epl etc pay out 30 to 50% of their earnings to their athletes.

So players even with the existing set up can potentially earn 5 times what they earn currently.

So average salary in IpL would be close to 3 to 4 mil which would be on par with nfl etc.

And that’s accounting for how low the disbursement from revenue sharing is compared to other top sports, given athletes are only paid 18% of the revenue split.

If this ratio increases as players form a union etc those figures could rise substantially. Possibly even 7 to 8 mil on average per year for each player.
 
I know this story. Its very fascinating. It ended up in the supreme court. Doordarshan tried everything in it's power to stop this. Someday i will write an article on this.

I think some of the early days BCCI heads are no less legendary than some of our greatest cricketers. The way they nurtured this baby that was Bharatiya cricket back in the day and paved way for it to become the mega power house it is today is truly remarkable.

Shout out to Sachin also who was a mega attraction in the 90s and helped bring all the brands to BCCI doorsteps.
 
Lalit Modi was the one who organized and IPL and created big bucks for BCCI. BCCI was happy with the money it used to get then but once IPL clicked it was among the biggest sporting events in the world (money wise).

BCCI giving back to the players as higher match fees, bonuses, pensions and so many things is commendable. Now a days even domestic players get so much money.

The only thing which BCCI is unable to fix in India is the stadium viewing experience. This is because the stadium is owned by the state association, which has so many affiliated clubs and these state associations vote for BCCI as well. These State associations are corrupt and useless, the facilities even in IPL are not that good, leave alone international matches.

Put high minimum standards in place for venues to host international and IPL games and I'm sure the state associations would start making sure their venues were meeting them.

Ex indian captain Azhar was the previous president of the Hyderabad state association(Srh franchise home ground). Every time he found new strategies to sell the match tickets at a high cost rate in black market and raised corruption bar for the others.We can't expect honesty or responsibility from others if an ex captian does that.it may take another 20 or 30 years for state association to behave normally .Only good thing is that everyone/especially franchise loyal fans pointing out in social media and making things difficult for association.
