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.
