"IPL Generates More Revenue Than English Premier League": BCCI President Sourav Ganguly

[cricketjoshila]

Given the Pak economy, population etc compared with India.

Pakistan population is 220mn to India's 1.35bn.

Pakistan economy 280bn. India 3.5 tn

Still the difference in rights is 100 times. Or more. Or am i wrong?

 

[AMSS]

Finally, thank you! See, posting real facts rather than ones you've completely made up isn't that hard now is it.

Still scoping for that imaginary win? Hahaha

Are you saying 5 years of ENG cricket isn't worth 1 year of international cricket - that too excluding India?

Grim.

IPL Media Rights: IPL overtakes EPL in per match valuation at Rs 104 crore, behind only NFL

After the end of first day of e-auction of the IPL's media rights, the BCCI-backed lucrative league overtook EPL in terms of per match valuation.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has overtaken English Premier League (EPL) in terms of per match valuation, as per reports, after day 1 of e-auction of IPL's media rights saw the lucrative league notch a never-seen-before valuation on Sunday.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly recently stated that the IPL generates more revenue than EPL, and as per the latest figures achieved by IPL's per match valuation, amid the ongoing media rights auction for the lucrative league, it has indeed surpassed the popular football league.

As per reports, BCCI have witnessed a huge hike in the value of IPL from the previous rights cycle. With the league valued at Rs. 41,000 crore as of now, IPL's per match value currently stands at nearly Rs 104 crore ($13. 4 million), which is more than what English Premier League generates at $11 million.

And that's not all, IPL now only trails the NFL, in terms of per match valuation, with the American league continuing to set standards with its corresponding figure of $17 million (Rs 133 crore per match).

With the insane numbers that IPL's bidding clocked up on day 1, day 2 (Monday) is expected to be on similar lines.

Apart from packages A and B, which are television and digital groupings for the Indian broadcast region, there are two more packages in the fray as well - like package C, which has 18-game non-exclusive special matches (base price of Rs. 11 crores) and package D, which is rest of the world rights (base price of Rs. 3 crores).

The Indian Premier League needs to generate a further Rs 28 crores on the second day to cross the per match valuation of NFL at 133 crores.

Renowned global players such as Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL), Reliance-Viacom 18, Disney Star Network and Sony Network are fighting it out amongst themselves to land the rights to broadcast IPL's next cycle between 2023-2027 on their platforms.

I'm not that bothered about the values actually, just don't like people completely making things up to suit their point in general. I don't know about you but I watch cricket for entertainment and enjoyment rather than to boast about how much some private organisations are making/paying. As long as there's enough money to pay the players and keep the entertainment going I'm happy.

1.35bn makes Indian one of the most populated country in the world which is where the number comes from? Do you mean the same? If yes then no you are not wrong.

EPL on the other hand is home to only 50mn people... of course no comparison once people here figure our its also home to the first world country.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I think the thread has diverted now, to bring it back on topic I'd like to ask:

At which dollar value per match will the IPL produce a good T20 player for India?

Thats the most important figure imo and can be a useful bargaining chip for future negotiations.

"We are not going to compete at international level unless there is $20m usd per match revenue generated" should be the slogan going forward from players and team owners.

 

[Technics 1210]

The thread specifically talks about English Premier League and no one has posted numbers related to that in this thread. Some trolls have successfully derailed this thread and are comparing Ashes, WCs in cricket etc with IPL. This is not a thread for these discussions.

Correct.

The claim by Ganguly was that IPL generates more revenue than EPL which is a football league.

I posted a link reporting last seasons revenue for EPL was £10 BILLION. No counter thus far.

 

[Pakhs]

Correct.

This was of course for the local audience only.. fro those who probably don't have the means to research about EPL finances etc.

 

[Hextro]

Pakistan population is 220mn to India's 1.35bn.

India's population is well over 1.4 billion.

Pakistan economy 280bn. India 3.5 tn

"The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation recently released a press note for the Provisional Estimates (PE) of National Income (Gross Domestic Product – GDP) for the financial year (FY) 2022."

"Nominal GDP in FY 2022: The growth in GDP at current prices, also known as nominal GDP, during FY 2022 is estimated at 19.5 percent. For FY 2022, India’s GDP at current prices is estimated to attain a level of INR 236.65 trillion (US$3.05 trillion)"

India's GDP is around $3 trillion in 2022. Knowing India's government's willingness to lie India's GDP is probably less than $3 trillion at current prices.

The numbers you are quoting for Pakistan are from before Pakistan rebased its GDP. Pakistan's government rebased its national accounts in 2021 by adding unlisted industries into the national accounts. Every country rebases its GDP every 5 years, it's common practice. Pakistan rebased its economy after something like 10 years, although Pakistan still doesn't include industries like IT in its GDP, doing so would increase Pakistan's total GDP by a large margin.

Pakistan's GDP is $383 billion in 2022 according to the government.

Just clearing up false claims.

As usual, this guy is overstating India's GDP and understating India's population by a large margin.

Going by the posts in this thread by some arrogant fans, it seems 1 INR = 95 Pound Sterling today.

This is fine, Indian economy is doing well compare to say Pakistan ofcourse the margins are very small.

 

[Hextro]

Saying that the IPL generates more revenue than the English Premier League is a blatant lie. The IPL is a low-quality circus, take for example the IPL's golden boy Chahal who is a dud in international cricket but at the same time purple cap winner in the IPL. As I said the IPL is a low-quality league.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This is fine, Indian economy is doing well compare to say Pakistan ofcourse the margins are very small.

If they are serious about comparing Indian economy then they should compare it with an equal size neighbour like China.

Whats so revealing in this thread is how important this validation is for IPL fans. Its not that they dont know that EPL is bigger and better tournament (you have to be living under a massive stone to not know that) but admitting it would mean IPL would reduce to some sort of level not worth anything...

 

[Pakhs]

Ofcourse that is the point I have already made.

India has a decent GDP considering its population, but sharing fake stats is disgraceful.

Yes agreed. IPL also making decent number considering Indian population nothing more nothing less. However its not comparable to EPL in anyway.

So according to you EPL is watched only in England (by 50 mn population) Eh??

 

[cricketjoshila]

Its true not all games are released as part of the over all package and some games are bought on a monthly basis.

However nobody in their right mind will compare EPL to IPL anyway. Indian fans will come across as extremely desperate if they were to argue this to English fans in England.

IPL for what its is a domestic product with little to no international following and not even played in the least important cricket format (T20) have done well to come as far as it has so lets not belittle it as something that needs a constant validation of getting compared to EPL most of its members wont even know what cricket is and how its played.

ESPN Cricinfo, owned by Disney is not in right mind. Ok.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

ESPN Cricinfo, owned by Disney is not in right mind. Ok.

Disney IPL sounds so cool and perfect.

 

[Pakhs]

ESPN Cricinfo, owned by Disney is not in right mind. Ok.

Its aimed at Indian population and considering how Indian fans are reacting here and in need of constant validation by comparing it to EPL I can see why they done it.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Indian is ranked 144th (approx) per capita round about the same number as Pakistan.

This forum has what 10 per cent Indians? This is a majority pakistani forum and their reactions is enjoyable.

I have read the comments here and most Pakistan fans are shocked at Indians comparing EPL to IPL that's all. Personally it will not even cross my mind.. it worst than comparing Indian economy to say USA or even Pakistan's to USA.

 

[MenInG]

We have a thread on IPL rights etc

This thread is about claim as in title.

Stick to it please.

 

[cricketjoshila]

You do realize that the $12 million figure you are quoting is the profit PCB claims to have generated from PSL in 2022, right? It isn't the total revenue. It is likely that you simply googled "PSL revenue" and clicked on the first article that popped up which contained the following paragraph "The Pakistan Cricket Board has ended up with bumper profits of PKR 2.3 billion (USD 11,941,400 approx.) as a result of organizing PSL-7 this year."

You are knowingly spreading false news. It would be even worse if you didn't know that the news you were sharing was obviously false because it would tell you a lot about your comprehension and reasoning skills. I know you're biased but let's try to stay in the realm of reality with our claims.

PSL contract is 24mn for 2 years.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.es...ports-for-usd-24-million-1294219?platform=amp

Thats 12mn per year.

 

[HitWicket]

You are very much bothered. You are usually seen trying to play down the financial might of bcci and Indian cricket.

Nah, as I said I just don't particularly like it when people start to make facts and figures up or exaggerate them to suit their point. Funnily enough I regularly seem to end up in threads quoting your posts... Make of it what you will...

The numbers I shared for Pakistan are absolutely correct. As I mentioned before even after rebasing the GDP Pakistan's overall GDP is understated by atleast 40%. My claims are backed by data and claims by experts.

Gdp per capita of Ondia is around 2515 and pakistan 1562 in usd. About a 1000 dollar difference per person.

But gdp per capita is not a good measure because money is not distributed equally.

Srilankan GDP per capita is 3500. They are bankrupt.

IPL rights are going to be in excess of 1bn usd a year.

Next is the hundred at 35bn gbp a year.

Not sure about the bbl as CA sold a combined rights for 1.12 AUD.

Next is Emirates T20 @12mn per year and PSL @12mn per year.

Ok.so at 220mn pakistan figures for psl should be 500mn usd. No?

 

[Major]

www.iplt20.com here you can watch all highlights for free without any stupid YouTube advertisement. There is a Mobile app as well, again completely free.
No one is charging any fee for highlights.
The marketing is done by respective franchises not BCCI nor governing body. At least get your facts straight.

Like i said, whenever i make this post a nationalist indian will come with his reasoning.

You can call youtube stupid all you want. Point is it is still the best video search browser.

And as usual, due to your nationalism(even though you live in australia where indians are not liked), you missed read my post or didn't understand it.

Highlights and player specific videos that are pisted on social media are part or the marketing. IPL fails at that due to high license fee

 

[Pakhs]

Ok.so at 220mn pakistan figures for psl should be 500mn usd. No?

Its not just a linear equation, Being the most populated country in world cricket and having the most number of cricketing fans helps. Also number of years the league being established etc.

If you want to compare PSL then it should be compared to BPL.

The IMF numbers are the latest ones. It estimates India's gdp at 3.5tn usd. What you are claiming are older estimates.

Do I have to keep repeating myself for you to understand the basics? I'll say this again for the last time. The IMF is making a projection/prediction of what it thinks India's GDP might be in 2022. The GDP figures by India's government that I shared with you(Which you refuse to believe for some reason.) are the latest GDP figures by India. Unless you've magically stopped trusting India's government you should be believing them.

"These estimates, which peg India’s GDP at 8.7 percent for FY 2022, are compiled using the benchmark-indicator method, with FY 2021 being the benchmark year (FY 2020-21). The data from the benchmark year is extrapolated using the relevant indicators reflecting the performance of sectors."

"Along with annual GDP, the estimates for fourth quarter (Q4 – January-March) FY 2022 have also been released."

Have you stopped believing in India's government because their statements disprove your Wikipedia-level argument? Or is it because you know that all the stats you've shared have been false?

You know you've gone too far when your estimates are more biased than the Indian government's estimates. That takes some doing.

Please post data by imf or world bank regards to your claim about Pakistan. How much has the PKR fallen in last 6 months?

I don't have to quote 3rd party organizations that update their systems yearly when I can just quote from the source, which is Pakistan's and India's governments in this case.

I hope I don't have to explain to you what rebasing an economy means again.

Now, let's start talking about the topic of this thread more directly. The statement made by Ganguly is completely bogus. The IPL isn't close to the Primer Leagues in terms of revenue, star power, prestige, etc. Although there might be an off chance that the IPL has higher viewership than the Primer League due to India's humongous population of over 1.4 billion people.

If Ganguly continues to make outrageous statements like these he will completely tarnish his reputation, I mean whatever there's left of it anyway.

Indian government data comes out late while IMF updates its data regularly and publishes its estimates.

Pakistani government claims a lot and then runs to IMF asking for money to bail itself from a near bankrupt position.

Wikipedia? So imf does Wikipedia level economics?

Keep burning .

ESPNcricinfo has already done an article where they have daid that IPL per match revenue from broadcast rights is more than EPL

Ganguly's reputation isnt dependent on the opinion of pakistani fans. I don't understand why pakistanis get so excited at IPL or bcci. IPL is banned in pakistan. Pakistanis are banned in IPL. There is no bilateral series.

EPL contributes £7.6 billion to UK GDP.I don’t how anything about how much IPL generates for India.

Indian government data comes out late while IMF updates its data regularly and publishes its estimates.

Again for the third time, the data I've shared with you is only a couple of weeks old and the IMF only makes projections, I can't believe I have to keep explaining this to you. Accept it already this is getting ridiculous at this point.

Pakistani government claims a lot and then runs to IMF asking for money to bail itself from a near bankrupt position.

How is that relevant to Pakistan's total GDP? The world bank and the IMF have already confirmed that Pakistan's rebase was correctly done. What more is there that I have to teach you about this? We should end this debate right here if you ask me for unreliable 3rd party stats again.

ESPNcricinfo has already done an article where they have daid that IPL per match revenue from broadcast rights is more than EPL

Ganguly said "IPL Generates More Revenue Than English Premier League" and not "IPL Generates More Revenue Than English Premier League on average per match"

A Premier League season consists of 380 matchs whereas an IPL season consists of only 70-something matchs.

Defending his ridiculous statement is of no use. He has already made a fool of himself.

Ganguly's reputation isnt dependent on the opinion of pakistani fans. I don't understand why pakistanis get so excited at IPL or bcci. IPL is banned in pakistan. Pakistanis are banned in IPL. There is no bilateral series.

Ganguly's reputation seems very dependent on people's opinions seeing how Indians are getting offended left right and center when someone calls Ganguly out on his nonsense. The IPL circus wastes 2 months every year, almost every cricket fan outside of India (Some inside India as well) hate that low-quality circus.

I don't understand why pakistanis get so excited at IPL or bcci.

Let's be real for a second. Even India's aren't excited by the IPL and you expect people that don't care about India or what happens in that country to be excited by something as pointless as the IPL? Wishful thinking.

 

[HitWicket]

ESPNcricinfo has already done an article where they have daid that IPL per match revenue from broadcast rights is more than EPL

Given you're going to continue to quote these incorrect calculations and not do the maths yourself I'll happily do it for you:

EPL local broadcast package - £5.1bn for 3 years, 200 games per year

EPL international broadcast packages - £5.3bn for 3 years, 380 games per year.

((£5.1bn/200) + (£5.3bn/380))/3= £13.1mn per game/$16mn per game.

Man UTD who havent even won their league in about 10+ years are a bigger brand than whole of IPL combined, i dont think the EPL is too worried about being gazumped by IPL.

IPL as good as it is still has a long way to go, these are the type of statements you would expect to hear from Rameez Raja not Ganguly.

Why would EPL be worried about IPL or NFL..

EPL’s competition is La Liga.. and atleast playing wise they seem to be losing consistently against them everytime they face top clubs of La Liga.

India have more population than UK. So, it is possible for IPL to generate more revenue as cricket is #1 sport in India.

In terms of quality, IPL is no match to Premier League. Premier League is far more established with a richer history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_sports_leagues_by_revenue

EPL is 4th in sports revenue last year.

Population is quantity, and quantity does not denote quality, cos most of the Indian population are broke, and the INR is weak as a pirate’s planks.

CR7 generated more revenue for Man U by selling shirts compared to a season of IPL gate receipts! )

I have seen so many Indians wearing jerseys of different football clubs/players but have hardly seen people wearing IPL jerseys in public. You can't compete with football clubs merchandise sales.

Indeed, and the IPL apologists know this, but will dare not address the facts, but instead compare IPL with other cricketing tourneys, which is not relevant to the OP.

As much as I respect Ganguly, he has made a boo boo with this claim, and IPL apologists deep down know this, hence diversion tactics in the thread.

EPL can't compete with the IPL on attendances.

The day we get 100k people in the Boris Johnson stadium for a game is the day when the EPL can look IPL in the eyes.

Tune into IPL matches especially for CSK and Mi games and you will see a sea of jerseys in the crowd. I think you don’t watch IPL so you miss it.

It’s kind of like Disneyland/ Disney-world. Even grown men/women wear Mickey/Minnie t shirts during vacation but outside of it people don’t wear them as it looks childish.

Same thing happens there as IPL is one of the greatest tamashas on the planet a La Disney world

You missed the point. I wasn't talking about wearing jerseys during the match only. Go to any shopping mall or a public place in India you will find many people wearing those jerseys. You just don't see that with IPL. People find it cool to wear their favorite football club jerseys here. I am sure even you know that but because of your ego you will never accept it here.

T20 generates more revenue than Test. Does that make T20 better than Test? Answer is no.

Same logic can be applied to IPL and EPL.

Apart from World Cups, no cricket tournament is close to Premier League in terms of quality.

This guy didn’t get the memo, revenue is not generate by attendance at a stadium; its generated by worldwide interest.

EPL - daylight - IPL.

Facts prove this.

Hand the guy a Mumbai Indian shirt. 0

No ego there. That’s an Indian/ desi problem. How many people wear t-shirts of say Kishore Kumar over Bob Marley etc?

That doesn’t equate to people not following IPL or not buying any merchandise at the game.

Back to the drawing board pal.

The claim was IPL generates more revenue than EPL.

Given you're going to continue to quote these incorrect calculations and not do the maths yourself I'll happily do it for you:

EPL local broadcast package - £5.1bn for 3 years, 200 games per year

EPL international broadcast packages - £5.3bn for 3 years, 380 games per year.

((£5.1bn/200) + (£5.3bn/380))/3= £13.1mn per game/$16mn per game.

Given that a very reputed and credible sports website has done the calculation i will believe that over random forum posts.

There is a reason people quote credible news reports as citation and not random forums.

You have an issue with what Cricinfo wrote, mail them.

 

[Technics 1210]

it’s funny how a random statement not even targeting Pakistan has touched a nerve. It’s not the validity of the statement. That’s a different debate which has been going on.

Your brethren is turning this thread into a Pak vs India topic, no one els; all based on a statement from the President of the BCCI.

Now, I dare you, address the claim in the OP; the facts have been presented.

Don’t be high-fiving from the spectator stand cos you got no argument.

I thought the comparison was only the domestic rights but that EPL number actually includes the international rights too and IPL is still comparable. That's crazy. EPL is far more popular internationally than IPL could ever hope to be and make a lot of money from their international deals yet their numbers are comparable with IPL which is just from domestic rights alone.

The Package C (Special Matches) and Package D (International TV Rights) have not been sold yet so BCCI will add to their coffers even more tomorrow.

I've already informed them of their error. In the mean time feel free to verify it yourself. All the figures used in the above calculation are available in a wide range of sources, here's a few for you:

He's right. Only 200 matches are broadcast on television in the UK and not all 380. So the domestic rights for EPL are only for 200 matches.

You picked the wrong game because I actually live in Barnet and have watched them several times when they were at Underhill ��

Well that is your personal taste. A redneck living in Florida might be entertained watching crocodile derby or something than most popular sports. What does that prove?

Yes. Nothing.

BCCI President makes the claim more revenue is generated from IPL vs. EPL - what does this prove? He is delusional.

IPL apologists refusing to entertain and counter the OP, instead attempt to deviate the thread - what does this prove? - Their ignorance, desperation, insecurity, and lies.

Stats and figures from worldwide sources prove EPL generates more revenue, facts ignored by IPL apologists - what does this prove? Visa to England was rejected and the British Empire continue to live rent free in India.

Cricket stadiums in India have greater attendance - what does this prove? - complete lack of understanding of the revenue system.

Decline in IPL viewership this season- what does this prove? - poverty and disinterest are on the rise in India.

The proof is always in the pudding. Yum yum.

Jay Shah explains it better for the haters

“At present, the IPL sells an extraordinary level of pakoras per match, the highest for any sports league. That’s followed by English Premier League, and the Major League Baseball figure, too, which sell next to no pakoras per match. That’s a giant leap for Indian cricket on the world stage.

IPL wins again.

IPL media rights: With $13 million per match, IPL only behind NFL as world's 2nd most lucrative sports league.

*Calculated on media rights only.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

The day saw the cricket board pocket Rs 43,050 crore (around $5. 5 billion) - a Rs 26,050 crore ($3. 3 billion) hike from the previous rights cycle-taking IPL's per match value at over Rs 104 crore ($13. 4 million) past English Premier League's corresponding figure of $11 million.

Thus, IPL is now only the second after the US's NFL ($17 million) in terms of per match value; it is already ahead of other top leagues in the world like NBA and MLB. Day Two of the e-auction is set to throw up bigger numbers.

PSL contract is 24mn for 2 years.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.es...ports-for-usd-24-million-1294219?platform=amp

Thats 12mn per year.

Which is equivalent o 1 IPL match.
